Why it matters

The yearly rate is less noisy than the quarterly change and is the figure most people mean by "economic growth". It shapes the earnings outlook for local companies, tax revenue, and the Bank of Russia's view of how much spare capacity the economy has.

How it is calculated

Rosstat compares real GDP (after inflation) with the same quarter or year before; full-year figures sum the four quarters.

Growth (yoy) = real GDP ÷ real GDP a year ago − 1

What changes mean

  • Growth above the country's trend (about 1–2% for advanced economies, more for emerging ones) tends to raise inflation pressure.
  • Annual growth turns only slowly; the quarterly figure shows turning points earlier.

Higher than expected: A stronger figure than expected points to a healthier economy: it usually supports the Russian rouble and local stocks, and can push bond yields up.

Lower than expected: A weaker figure than expected points to slowing activity: the Russian rouble tends to soften and markets price in lower rates.

A short history

Annual national accounts spread after the Second World War under the UN System of National Accounts (first edition 1953).
