| Summary: | This issue combines an analysis of
recent developments in the Russian economy with discussions
of two critical issues for economic policy: achieving
diversified growth and accession to the World Trade
Organization (WTO). The conclusions are rather optimistic.
There is much that the Russian government can do to ensure
sustainable and diversified growth, and this would not
require a substantial change in course from the basic reform
and policy strategy that has been pursued by the government
since 2000. The draft Medium Term Social and Economic
Program of the Government appears to be a promising document
in this regard. An analysis based on a computable general
equilibrium model of the Russian economy confirms that WTO
accession should benefit the vast majority of households in
the country, including the poor. |
