Former Soviet Union
In early 2026, key Former Soviet Union economies exhibit mixed macro trajectories. Russia’s GDP growth slowed due to sustained Western sanctions and constrained energy export revenues, despite resilient domestic consumption and pivoting trade towards Asia. Ukraine’s reconstruction efforts advance with strong Western aid but face geopolitical uncertainty from ongoing regional tensions. Central Asian states show growth driven by commodity exports and infrastructure investments. Main uncertainty remains tied to geopolitical stability and sanction regimes affecting capital flows and trade patterns.
