Moscow, Jan. 22 (Petra) – Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on Wednesday a rise of over 26% in the country’s non-oil revenues and an $8 billion increase in the general budget.
During a government meeting, Putin stated, “The additional oil and gas revenues for the Russian budget amounted to 1.3 trillion rubles last year, approximately $13 billion. This is an economic achievement despite the international sanctions imposed on Russia’s energy sector.” He added that the gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to grow between 2% and 2.5% this year.
