Russia GDP per Capita: Overview and Outlook

Current GDP per Capita

Russia's GDP per capita currently stands at around USD 15,000, slightly above the global average.

Historical Changes in Russia's GDP per Capita

Russia's economic story since 2000 is one of a dramatic boom, followed by stagnation and radical transformation. Upon Vladimir Putin's ascent to power, Russia benefited from a massive commodity boom in the 2000s. Soaring oil and gas prices fueled a rapid recovery from the chaos of the 1990s, leading to a significant rise in living standards. Nominal GDP per capita rose roughly ten-fold from 2000 to 2013, thanks to the strong ruble, rapid real GDP growth, elevated inflation and high prices for key fossil fuel exports. However, GDP per capita has fallen since then due to falling energy prices, a weaker ruble and more sluggish GDP growth.

GDP per Capita Predictions for the Coming Years

Russian GDP per capita is expected to climb modestly for the rest of this decade, thanks to currency stability and real GDP growth that should average around 1.5%.

Key Factors to Watch

The outcome of the war will be key. The end of the conflict could boost GDP growth, lead to sanctions relief and encourage inward investment, boding well for GDP per capita. On the contrary, if the war continues this could spark further international sanctions which weigh on the currency and economy, dampening GDP per capita.
