Russia

Professor ARAI Hirofumi

Purpose

To understand the trends in the Russian economy as the war is expected to be prolonged following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Overview

We work to understand the Russian economy today from multiple angles, relying primarily on Russia’s official economic indicators. For statistical indicators no longer published after the war began, alternative statistical information will be used. Although the environment does not enable easily conducting on-site surveys, which are an effective means to understand the economic situation with a first-hand feel, we will try to conduct these on-site surveys.
