      The Russian economy is facing the prospect of a huge rise in corporate bankruptcies as firms are driven to the edge by a record key interest rate.

      The Center for Macroeconomic Analysis and Short-Term Forecasting (CMASF), which is close to the Russian government, said that one in five manufacturing enterprises must pay two-thirds of pretax profits to service debt. This shows that the key interest rate of 21 percent imposed by Russia’s Central Bank (CBR) to cool the economy is taking its toll.

    2. That’s fucking good news 🙂

      Strike the russian people where it hurts, their money and their economy. Maybe this will wake them up!

      More sanctions and more severe sanctions are needed then? russia says sanctions make russia stronger 😀

    4. Now if only we would increase the sanctions on importing goods from russia and especially limit the import of “Kazakhstan goods”…

      Wake me up when it is happening. All those companies are probably going to be bought up by the oligarchs.

      I would love this to happen, but I have heard so many times something like this and yet they are, still standing and killing people

    7. Oh no, if only there was a way to prevent this.

      Maybe they shouldn’t have sat idly by while a dictatorship rose to power and then began an unprovoked invasion of their neighbour.

      Funnily enough, this will get a lot worse when/if russia turns back into a civilian economy.

      The majority of current growth is coming from the unproductive mass investments into the war effort at an enormous cost to the state. When these investments dry up the vast majority of workers will have to go back making a living in the civilian economy. This will flood an overheated economy with workers with no possibility of massive state subsidies to restart the civilian sector and absorb the shock of a massive influx of workers.

      Lowering interest rates to try and restart the civilian economy, which will be direly needed, will cause the inflation to skyrocket and the ruble will implode worse than than it did in 1998. Not lowering interest rates is not a better option either; it might keep inflation under control but it will also keep much needed investment frozen leading to a surge in unemployment and social discontent. The oligarchs are already complaining and basically forced the Kremlin to guide the central bank to postpone an increase to 23% in the last couple of weeks.

      Banks are also not doing very well. It is credibly rumored that they have been forced to lend below cost to the war industries to the tune of tens of (potentially up to a couple of hundred) billions. When these industries stop getting massive state subsidies the banks will be left with exposed positions, unable to redirect funding to the civilian economy even to the point where capital controls might be needed to prevent bank runs from people fearing losing their entire livelihood.

      This is only the start of Russia’s problems.

      > The Russian economy is facing the PROSPECT of a huge rise in corporate bankruptcies as firms are driven to the edge by a record key interest rate  

      So it has not happened, number 5837273° clickbait article about russian economy being a couple of days away from collapsing, for real this time  

      Also the bottom page saying that there is an “unfair left-leaning bias in online journalism” like in what alternative universe these freaks live in

      Russian economy is showing cracks, but is far from broken. We need to keep going, stop buying Russian energy, crack down on sanction dodgers.
