AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Russia’s Economic Overhaul: Deputy PM Alexander Novak says 12 of 14 targets in Russia’s structural transformation plan are on track for H1, but growth is still only expected at ~1%, with the Kremlin pushing a shift toward a “sustainable” model under sanctions. Central Bank Reserves: Russia’s international reserves rose 2.1% to $755.6bn over the week, up $15.6bn, mainly from revaluation. Fuel Crunch Returns: Moscow is again facing fuel shortages and reintroducing petrol limits, while reports say authorities are cracking down on complaints. Digital Ruble Push: The Bank of Russia says it’s discussing cross-border digital ruble settlements with foreign partners; banks are ready for wider rollout from Sept 1. Ukraine War Hits Business: Ukrainian attacks destroyed about 10m books and major publishing capacity, prompting calls for international support for publishers. Arctic Trade & Ports: China’s NewNew Shipping Line is expanding in Murmansk, using the ice-free port and Northern Sea Route; a first container ship docked Aug 19. Iran Pressure Watch: Trump warns of “economic D-Day” against Iran and threatens any country offering Tehran a “lifeline,” while analysts say leverage over Russia and China is limited. EU Security Flashpoint: A Russian marine drone near Romania’s Neptun Deep gas project triggered EU “hybrid warfare” warnings; Romania says it destroyed the drone.
