Abstract

Russia’s current account balance went negative in Q2 2017 due to a growth in imports of goods driven by a strengthening Russian rouble, seasonal growth in imports of services and investment income payments amid stagnating exports of goods after the rising oil price trend grinded to a halt. Therefore, the uptrend for the rouble exchange rate reversed in June.
