    Russia's federal budget is still based on an oil price of $40 while Brent is almost $80 per barrel and ruble is still weak. Smile Laughing

    Sputnik:
    Revenues from oil and gas will grow enormously in 2018.

    Budget surplus of 440 Billion rubles. 0,4% of GDP.

    They are probably underestimating that surplus at this rate...

    Yeah, and Russia was going to "run out of" "money"... I think by 2016?

    Wasn't the Dark Lord supposed to be the richest person in the world as well just recently according to Western press? Was it 200 billion USD or 200 trillion?

    traditional US doublespeak - Russia is poor and has no economy and populations and same time Russia spends hundreds of billions on aggressive actions! Millions of Russian soldiers are ready to take over europe!

    Same time Russia is outspending on military and Russia is tutting money fo r military.

    AS for Putin's money - oh let's not restict our fantasy Smile let them be quadrillions and of course MUST BE in USD. Because secretly Putin dreams to be rich American Smile

    Deutschland is just another fiat bubble economy with a debt almost the same size as its GDP. It is in no position to
    diss Russia's finances. Since the Russian government basically has no debt of any size worthy of discussion, has been
    running a deficit much less than routinely found in the UK (for example), and sits on a vast pool of resource wealth it
    actually has a massive net worth. Its pockets are bursting at the seams with gold and diamonds. Real wealth and

    I started thinking Trump might be a man of substance, but now think he is an American idiot. Russia has a
    fully floating currency as of late 2014. It did not even have a controlled currency like China long before this
    transition. How does Trump propose Russia manipulates its currency value? By hacking currency markets?

    Russia's Total Public Debt Decreases to 33% of Country's GDP

    https://sputniknews.com/business/201805041064162414-russian-public-debt-decreases/

    MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The total public debt of the Russian Federation as of January 1 stands at 33 percent of the country's GDP, which represents a 7 percent year-on-year decrease, the Russian Central Bank said in its annual report for 2017, released on Friday, noting this was considered a moderate debt burden.

    "As of January 1, 2018 the debt burden on the Russian economy remained moderate: the debt-to-GDP ratio amounted to 33 percent (in early 2017 — 40 percent)," the annual report said.

    According to the report, a large share of Russian external debt obligations (86.5 percent of the total external debt) accounted for the private sector and totalled $448.6 billion.


    Meanwhile, the external debt of government bodies and the Central Bank reached $70.3 billion in 2017, of which $14.5 billion was debt belonging to the Central Bank.The repayment and servicing of the external debt of government bodies rose to $4.4 billion. In general, the total debt increased by $16.7 billion to $55.6 billion, the report indicated.

    "The eternal debt obligations of the Russian federal subjects have hardly changed and amounted to $200 million," the report read further.

    The Russian ruble-denominated external debt corresponds to $137.4 billion, while the dollar-denominated portion of the debt totals $381.4 billion.

    I am afraid I cannot agree with you. Germany is nowhere near bubble economy.  Germany has strong industry,with high percentage of hi-tech products. As for manufacturing: Robot saturation comparing to Russia is 100xtimes more as per 2016. Its GDP/debt is around 60%, GDP/R&D ~3%. One of healthiest I'd say

    inside this article:

    The finance ministry will have to issue some bonds especially if Russia suffers another oil price shock, but economists say that there is plenty of money inside the country to cover a lot of bond issues.
    The biggest pool of money is the RUB25 trillion of retail deposits with Russian banks – well over twenty times the finance ministry’s annual OFZ borrowing plans.


    I wouldn't worry about it that much.  US is getting desperate as GDP debt grows but is not all mighty. Especially because of moronic policy to attack all countries but Israel.  As Newton's Third Law says action and reaction force pairs.

    Remember Gaddhafi? They claimed he had hundred billion or more, because the central bank of Libya had that much money! There are real geniuses in the west.

    Germany got 2,2% growth last year. Thanks to the ECB and her 0% interest rate, cheap labour from Romania and Bulgaria and the euro being low thanks to Greece, Spain and so on. The media celebrated it like nuts.

    Russia had 2%, despite sanctions and 7% interest rates and the western media sneered.

    All NATO GDP growth numbers are manipulated rubbish. The central banks of these countries run essentially zero prime rate policies.
    Contrast this to Russia where some monetarist witch is imposing a prime rate of 7.5%.

    Germany is a bubble GDP by definition. Just because it exports a lot does not negate zero prime rate bubble inflation. A financial bubble
    is a financial bubble regardless of all other factors. If Germany's GDP growth was 100% related to its exports, then someone would have
    a point. Too bad for them, this is clearly not the case.

    To Gunship: The Libyan state had billions in the west, not Gaddhafi personaly.

    To Austin: The 20 Trillion isn´t the whole number. There is more debt, much more liabilities. All pension funds of the individual states lost a lot of money in the last ten years. There are gigantic gaps between the available money and the amount they will have to spend for their members (teachers, police men and so on).

    There is one but - Germany is part of EU and has by definition access to market of size 500+mlns with avg salary higher than Russia or China. Euro is one of main reserve currency. Thus you can print money exporting your debt to buyers of your papers.

    for me there is more than that. Although debt in current size wont kill america but blog's author thesis that
    1) there is constant growth of economy bringing more money than spent of debt
    2) you dont have to pay it back really


    assumes: somebody is gonna to finance it although implicitly.

    Otherwise we have just discovered a perpetum mobile! How can you invest without money? bu printing it! ooops but why it failed in Zimbabwe? because Zimbabwe's dollar was not a reserve currency, Zimbabwe had no propaganda machine and not CVNSGs and expeditionary punishment corps.

    In such case simple remove dollar as worlds currency and boing... unless USA same  to Baron Munchhausen pulling himself and the horse on which he was sitting out of a mire by his own hair Razz Razz Razz

But true Russia and Germany are much of natural allies. That's why IMHO west always tries to incite Germans for conflict with Russia and other way around. Imagine what interest had Russia to attack German Empire in 1914? This was about colonies in Africa and Iran/Asia

    Why doesn't Russia make an attempt to issue their currency interest free like America or Nationalist Socialist Germany once did?

    On a lighter note, why doesn't Russia honor people like Catherine the Great, Tchaikovsky, Alexander Pushkin and the beautiful architectural building of Saint Basil's Cathedral on it's banknotes? Russian rubles seem a little boring but it is more colorful than American money.

    Less growth than Germany and on level of riddling Japan Smile  I'd say simple extrapolation with ~ +2,8% growth (PPP).  If Putin manages force  govt to make break through then with ~5,4 trillions GDP would be on 5th place.

    Did you read the two links I posted? Germany was able to recover from the Depression without a need for the international bankers. They financed their infrastructure by issuing its own money without borrowing. That is what Russia should do.
