☆ Russia’s 2024 Presidential Vote: What to Know
  + stars: | 2024-03-14 | by ( Neil Macfarquhar | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Why does this vote matter? The presidential vote in Russia, which began Friday and lasts through Sunday, features the trappings of a horse race but is more of a predetermined, Soviet-style referendum. President Vladimir V. Putin, 71, will undoubtedly win a fifth term, with none of the three other candidates who are permitted on the ballot presenting a real challenge. The main opposition figure who worked to spoil the vote, Aleksei A. Navalny, a harsh critic of Mr. Putin and the Ukraine war, died in an Arctic prison last month. Still, the vote is significant for Mr. Putin as a way to cement his legitimacy and refurbish his preferred image as the embodiment of security and stability.

☆ The ruble is failing — and now more Russians are cutting back on buying basic goods like food and toothpaste as prices jump

The value of the Russian ruble continues to fail, forcing Russians to cut back their spending. A recent survey found that more Russians are reducing their buying of basic goods like food. Earlier this month, the Russian ruble plunged to a 16-month low against the US dollar. "Against the backdrop of the current economic situation and rising prices, Russians are trying to save money," said Romir senior director Ksenia Paizanskaya. Earlier this month, the Russian ruble plunged to a 16-month low against the US dollar, the currency's lowest level since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine February 2022.

☆ The cost of war in Ukraine means growing economic pain for Russia

That’s almost three times what Russia spent on defense in 2021, before its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Those figures are likely to underestimate the total spent on Russia’s war effort. He said that before the war Russia would typically splash around 3-4% of its annual gross domestic product on defense but now it could be anywhere between 8% and 10%. Russia’s exports are still greater than the value of its imports, despite a boost to the latter from the hefty military spending. Rising military spending is, on the other hand, boosting Russia’s industrial output and, with it, GDP.

Russia’s economy did weaken as a result. “The Russian economy and system of government have turned out to be much stronger than the West believed,” Putin said in a speech to Russia’s parliament Tuesday. The bloc, which dramatically reduced its dependence on Russian natural gas last year, officially banned most imports of Russian crude oil by sea in December.

☆ Egypt: How the Arab world's most populous country became addicted to debt
  + stars: | 2022-12-16 | by ( Cnn Staff | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +12 min
The loan, along with billions of dollars in cash inflows from Abu Dhabi and Riyadh, are Band-Aids, experts say, designed to keep the Arab world’s most populous country afloat. Without proper reforms, however, Egypt may never be able to shake off its chronic financial woes and break its growing debt addiction. Billions of dollars from Abu Dhabi and Riyadh have poured into the Egyptian economy in recent years. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) also launched the Saudi Egyptian Investment Company (SEIC) in August, a company dedicated to investments in several vital sectors of the Egyptian economy. Still, the Egyptian economy has struggled to shake off its economic woes.

Nineteen countries and one economic region, the European Union, will attend this year's two-day G-20 meeting.

U.S. President Joe Biden is also scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping ahead of the G-20. He highlighted China's stance on the war in Ukraine as one of many signs of eroding relations between the U.S. and China.
☆ Cheaper oil and Ukraine war are blowing a hole in Russia's finances
  + stars: | 2022-09-15 | by ( Clare Sebastian | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +1 min
London (CNN Business) There are new signs of strain in the Russian economy as energy prices fall and nearly seven months of war in Ukraine prove increasingly costly. Russia's budget surplus all but disappeared over the summer, according to data published by the Russian finance ministry this week. Oil is traditionally a bigger component of the Russian budget than natural gas, and Brent crude prices — the European benchmark — have fallen about 25% since their peak in early June. That's a big hit, even before an EU embargo on Russian seaborne oil imports, and a planned G7 price cap come into force in December. And while natural gas prices in Europe remain extraordinarily high, Russia's gas deliveries to the European Union and United Kingdom have dropped by 49% since the beginning of the year, Gazprom said last week.
