Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov expressed expectations for more active economic growth in 2026. He announced this on December 3 on the air of RBC Radio as part of the VTB forum "Russia is calling!".

Siluanov stressed that active economic growth will be ensured by a reduction in interest rates by the Central Bank of Russia and increased investment. According to him, support measures aimed at technological sovereignty will begin to have a positive impact on the economy.

"All those support measures that are primarily provided through the budget to technological sovereignty will have their impact in solving the problems of economic growth," he said.

In addition, the Finance Minister added that a stable ruble exchange rate is an important factor for balancing the budget. Siluanov said that the Russian economy must learn to work in current exchange rates.

"Our economy is becoming more qualitative, complex and multifaceted"
