Russia’s GDP growth sped up to 2.2% on the year in October, but will fall within the government’s forecast of 1.3% in 2019, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said during the Russia Calling! business forum.
"We see that economic growth dynamics are picking up speed. In the previous month, in October, we saw growth of 2.2%, and the economy ministry will confirm that. Of course, these dynamics are not consistent," PRIME cited the minister as saying.
"So far, we expect economic growth dynamics to fall in line with our planned figures this year," Siluanov added.
