Western sanctions were supposed to undermine Russia’s war in Ukraine and put a dent in its economy. Yet the country is expected to grow more this year than both the US and Euro Area. We’ll look at how Moscow has managed to build a wartime economy, in large part by defusing sanctions that challenged its oil revenues and access to critical components.

LV, Guggi, heck, even brands like Rolex, are still widely available in Russia. Sure, the price is 2X the price before. But let's not kid ourselves, your average Russian, who wasn't in the market for a $5,000 handbag, even before the sanctions, won't be bothered by the fact that the same handbag is now $10,000. Whereas if you are rich to the point where you have money coming out of your ears, the increased price is merely a minor inconvenience. For example, Thailand has an import tax of 300% on cars. Most affordable cars an pickups sold in the country are produced there. However, when it comes to Porsches, Bentleys, and even Audi, they are all imported, and therefore cost 4X more than in Europe or the US. Regardless, people with money still buy them.

Different words could convey different outcomes. Like a quarantine being the same as a naval blockade, ie Cuban missles crisis.

I dont think that is true. They are exporting far less than before the war. The only reason the gdp is increasing is because of government spending. It is all being financed by their war chest. Once it runs out the war cannot continue. They have stopped infrastructure spending and are taxing their citizens more to fund the war machine. They are now importing refined fuels. It will all come to a head at some point. The big question is when and can the Ukraine hold out that long. It is difficult to find those numbers as Russia is keeping it a secret. I don't believe that other countries will lend them money to continue the war once the cash is gone. Who would do that?

I mean that result of some high tech projects (aviation, space, military etc) - was building the prototype, which was not real working product. It was just "virtual success report for state investor". Now because there is "motivated consumer as a solder on the front line" it becomes a system of "result focused" both corporative small military startups research and production which increases creative and productive potential which can be used in future in civil industry.

@@arthurmall4688 Many people conflate personal debt with sovereign debt. Western economies rely on debt to fuel growth. When their economies grow, investors get paid. This is what China wants. Sooner or later, you can only tap your own citizens for growth for so long that you need global investors. The U.S. dollar is still the world reserve currency by far accounting for over 67% of the world's transactions. As long as the world's economies believe the U.S. can service its debts and maintain a healthy and transparent economy, then they will keep investing in the U.S. dollar and purchasing American debt thus fueling its growth. Win-win for the U.S. and its bond holders. Russia has no external debt because not very many countries believe Russia's economy has a future outside its own sphere of influence. When a nation has a lot of external debt with no one to buy it, then you end up like Greece and Argentina. So it is actually very smart of Russia to keep its external debts down, but that also means it is limiting its growth.

В России была по большей части сырьевая экспортная экономика. Работало все примерно так, из России вывозилось дешевое сырье в обмен на деньги, потом эти деньги выводились обратно на запад в обмен на акции, валютные резервы, недвижимость , оборудование и комплектующие. Т.е. и ресурсы и деньги оставались на западе. После введения санкций дешевые ресурсы остались в России, денег стало меньше, но и утечка денег из экономики прекратилась (спасибо персональным санкциям), все что вытекает из страны это расходы на оборудование и комплектующие ну пусть поступают они теперь с наценкой в 30%. Как итог Запад лишился дешевых ресурсов и вытекающего из России капитала, а Россия получила склады забитые ресурсами и капитал которому некуда утекать... интересная ситуация да? Более того еще и спрос появился... У тебя есть и ресурсы и деньги которые должны работать, да еще и спрос на продукцию военного назначения... и почему это экономика начала расти? С помощью санкций закрыв краники по выводу капитала и подстегивая Украину к бессмысленным боевым действиям, запад сам простимулировал рост экономики России. Создав идеальные тепличные условия для ее роста. У меня такое подозрение что в США экономисты начали о чем-то подобном догадываться, отсюда и изменение их подхода к Украине.

The formula from Arthur Grandy’s book makes it clear how investors should act. Amid changing economic trends, the Fed's early decision on interest rates, before inflation hits 2%, signals a crucial turnaround for investors. It's not just about how stocks and bonds react; now is the right moment for crypto enthusiasts. As traditional markets reshape themselves, the world of cryptocurrencies beckons with promises of growth and diversification. This is a call to action for investors to rethink strategies and perhaps ride the wave of change that is sweeping the financial landscape.....
