The manufacturing that's moving there from Europe right now.
No, I didn't pick the wrong number. The inflation was at 15% peak, and has been coming down since.
Well going with the narrative of the article it's to sell it for profit. Did you read the article you linked? 😂
Not sure what part of Russia can build as many pipelines as they need you're struggling with here. Meanwhile, in the short term Russia is making money hand over fist, so not like they're hurting in the short term either.
No, I'm not. I'm talking about month by month inflation. Here's another breakdown for you https://www.focus-economics.com/countries/russia/news/inflation/inflation-comes-in-at-highest-level-since-february-2016-in-october-0
Consumer prices are staying pretty stable. How does that compare with Europe again?
I literally said inflation is down to 7.5%:
I'm sorry I didn't realize you're unable to comprehend that inflation being down to 7.5% implies there is change over time in inflation.
And of course, we don't have to talk about annual rates. We can clearly talk about the change in inflation over past 6 months. Change in Russia has been that inflation is dropping and prices are stable. The change in Europe has been the opposite. These are basic facts of the situation.
Are inflation and cost of living rate in Europe going up or down right now?
Yeah, that's sort of the elephant in the room. The west has been printing money like no tomorrow each time there has been a risk of a recession. This goes back at least all the way to the Y2K crisis. They've been basically externalizing the problem into the future all this time. Then the pandemic hit and the economic war and all of a sudden printing money doesn't solve the problem anymore and they don't know what to do.
Meanwhile, Russia's been shoring up its economy since 2014 and carefully weaning itself away from the west this whole time so it would be able to survive decoupling. I can guarantee that China's been doing the same, and these will be the rising economies as western financial system spirals out of control next year.
we'll see soon enough
Nobody said Russia doesn't have problems, what I keep explaining to you is that Russia is much better off relative to Europe. I get that basic facts like food and energy security are really hard for you to wrap your head around.
LMFAO look at you a certified expert on where money goes in Russian economy. 😂
How to say you've never seen a map in your entire life without saying you've never seen a map in your entire life. 😂
