Russia's economy will grow more than 2 per cent this year, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov told the TASS news agency on Monday, and the federal budget deficit will reach 2.0 per cent-2.5 per cent of gross domestic product.
Siluanov said the Russian rouble's recent weakness had been driven by the country's trade balance, and the predictability of the exchange rate was very important to the ministry.
