Numbers are bullshit when so much depends on black swans - real world events and developments. With all the chaos swirling around Russia right now it could easily be 5% growth or 10% contraction depending on events.
I don't even use numbers when making my financial decisions!

How in the world do they come up with that number?

The report summary says that they expect a further fall in trade with sanctioning countries that will however be offset by a rise in trade with non-sanctioning countries.
Developments like this are relevant I suppose: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/york-gorging-fuel-made-illicit-173455649.html

That's something I hadn't considered. Non-sactioning countries picking up some of the slack.

> Boris Grozovski, a Russian economics expert from the Wilson Center think tank, told Newsweek the most interesting aspect of the IMF forecast was its estimate of 0.3 percent GDP growth for Russia this year, compared with Moscow's prediction of a 0.8 percent decline.
> "It seems to me that it is impossible to give a clear forecast for 2023 for now, but the decline of the economy by 1 to 2 percent, given the possible continuation of mobilization in Russia, seems more likely than economic growth."
> Ben May, director of global macro research at Oxford Economics, told Newsweek that the war in Ukraine, commodity prices and sanctions "Are going to be especially crucial" in determining Russia's baseline GDP forecast over the next two years.

Wow, there are so many issues with this forecast including contradictions, it's completely useless.

That’s a prediction only.

Russia itself still expects a 0.8 percent decline in 2023.
