Russia’s economy is booming in 2024. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin has revealed that the country’s GDP has grown by 5% in the first five months of the year, beating literally all expectations. 
And in spite of various attempts from America and its friends to weaken it. Mishustin stated:&nbsp; 
<blockquote>
 “Today we will discuss the current situation in the economy. The dynamics remain high. In May, growth accelerated slightly compared to April to 4.5%.”&nbsp;
</blockquote> 
Machine building did a lot to boost the manufacturing sector, which grew by nearly 9%. By the end of the first quarter, investments had grown by almost 15%, primarily thanks to spending on machinery, equipment, and intellectual property. 
Companies are using their profits to invest even more. And regions across Russia are also stepping up their investment activities. This is gonna support long-term economic stability, according to Mishustin. 
Consumer activity remains high, mainly due to the growth of private incomes. However, the increased spending has also contributed to rising inflation, which stood at 4.5% as of July 1.&nbsp; 
Mishustin said it is important to constantly monitor inflation and work closely with the Bank of Russia to manage it. Russia’s oil revenue exports have seen a dramatic increase of almost 50% in June 2024 compared to June 2023.&nbsp; 
This is mostly because of Russia flagship Urals quickly adapting to Western sanctions. Moscow’s crude oil sales revenues have also increased, with oil-related taxes reaching 590.6 billion rubles, up from 402 billion rubles in June 2023. 
President Vladimir Putin recently signed off on a bill that increases tax by a little too little. Since the Ukraine invasion, Russia’s spending has surpassed its revenue by tens of billions of dollars, pushing the country right into the hands of a very rare budget deficit. 
In 2023, Russia ran a budget deficit of around 3.2 trillion rubles, equivalent to 2% of GDP. Russia’s parliament passed the tax amendments earlier this week. 
Finance Minister Anton Siluanov <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/Economy/russia-s-gdp-increases-5--in-5-months-despite--outside--inte" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">said</a>, “The changes are aimed at building a fair and balanced tax system.”&nbsp; 
Meanwhile, NATO is in the process of deciding whether or not to pick a fight with Russia on behalf of Ukraine. America and the United Kingdom have publicly declared their intentions, but France is holding back. 
Putin has said that if they do go through with it, we will definitely see World War III.
