How the government fought against sanctions and what tasks it set



Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin delivered a report to the State Duma for the fourth time. Last year, it fell on April 7 - the height of the imposition of sanctions against Russia. At that time, the prime minister stressed that there were no "captive moods" in the government. He noted that the country has the ability to resist sanctions, but the economy needs at least six months to rebuild in the face of such a blow. And if then the report could only be called a preparation for defense, now it was the results of the work done, which the deputies met with applause.

In 2022, the government had to respond almost every day to the challenges associated with the next set of sanctions, Mishustin noted: “They demanded an urgent response. The constant search for an answer to the question - what will happen next. In fact, we were working on countermeasures in a staff mode. The Prime Minister recalled that analysts predicted a double-digit fall in Russian GDP and the decline was indeed inevitable in such conditions, but it turned out to be quite moderate. “However, we have returned the economy to a growth trajectory. Now even some international organizations are predicting positive dynamics for us in 2023 and achieving GDP growth rates higher than those of developed countries in 2024,” he said.
