YEREVAN, December 26. /ARKA/. The Russian economy will decline by 3% in
2015 if the oil price is $60 per barrel, Russian minister of economic
development Aleksey Uliukaev told reporters, as cited by the Prime.
The projection by the ministry suggests GDP will decline by 0.8%
in 2015 with the oil price at 80 dollars per barrel.
The deputy minister of economy Aleksey Vedev said the recession will
come as early as in the first quarter. The 2014 last quarter GDP
growth will be near zero or will decline slightly, he said.
"We expect a decline in the first quarter, first of all due to drop
