Impact Of External Shocks And Monetary Policy On Russian Economy
https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2014-11-122-139
Abstract
This paper investigates the impact of external and internal shocks on the Russian economy. We have factored in the U.S. monetary policy changes, dynamics of commodity prices, and volatility of global financial markets as the main sources of external shocks. We have also examined the influence of the monetary policy of the Bank of Russia, on economic growth, inflation, and ruble exchange rate.
