The volume of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in Russia exceeded $15,000 last year. These data are published by the International Monetary Fund. These figures are close to the record levels of 2013 ($15.93 thousand). Thus, the GDP amounted to 15.44 thousand dollars, an increase of 22.3%. Positive dynamics were recorded not only in Russia, but also in 74 out of 100 states surveyed by IMF analysts.
GDP per capita increased the most in Guyana (89.1%), the worst in Japan (-15.2%). In addition to this country, 25 other states, most of which are in Europe, show negative indicators. These are Sweden, Hungary, France, Finland, Germany, Italy, etc., writes RIA Novosti.
Recently, the European Commission released economic forecasts for the coming year, which improved the outlook for Russia and China. According to EC analysts, Moscow and Beijing will continue to modernize the production sector through public investment, which will eventually offset most of the negative factors.
