The net foreign assets of monetary
authorities, which grew by 820.2 billion rubles, were the main source
of growth in the broad monetary base in January - March 2007. Th
accumulation of funds in general government accounts, resulting
above all from the expansion of the Stabilisation Fund, had a
restraining effect
on money supply growth in January Russian Governments Stabilisation
Fund expanded 19.8% in the first three months of 2007 to 2,812.2
billion rubles (it grew 35.6%
in the same period last year).
GDP expanded by 6.7% in 2006 and by an
estimated 7.9% in 2007 Q1 (by 5.0% in 2006
Q1). Economic growth was driven by strong investment and consumer
demand.
Imports from member states of the Asia
Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC)
organisation, especially from China, Japan and the United States, grew
faster than total import in January - February 2007. At the same time
imports from the
EU countries (including eurozone member states), and also from the
Commonwealth
of Independent States (CIS), grew slower than total imports. Imports
from Great Britain, Spain, the Czech Republic and Slovakia registered
the biggest growth among the EU member states while among the CIS
countries the most rapid growth
was registered in imports from Ukraine. Imports from member states of
the Eurasian Economic Community (EurAsEC) registered the slowest growth
in the period
under review.
In the first half-year of 2007, the
balanced financial result (profit - loss) of companies (without
subjects of small business, banks, insurance and budget organizations)
has amounted RUB +2264,1 billions, or USD +87,1 billions. 62 100
companies gained profit totalled at RUB 2511,9 billions, 27 100
companies operated at loss totalled at RUB 247,8 billions. In the first
half-year of 2006 the balanced financial result of similar companies
