Note: 1) data on January-February of 2015
Inspite of positive tendencies, there are grounds to believe that economic recovery will be delayed. It is caused by the following factors: low oil prices, weak national currency, high inflation and interest rate, deficit of investment, longtime realization of import substitution program, low purchasing ability and others. It should be noted that among mentioned factors there are system imbalances that includes dependency on oil prices, sensitiveness to speculative capital flows and inefficiency of basic economic policy tools.
