Russia Manipulating Economic Data to Hide True State of Economy, Swedish Military Intelligence Says
Swedish Military Intelligence (MUST) accuses Russia of manipulating economic data to hide the true state of its economy amid the Ukraine war. The intelligence service says official figures show falling GDP and weak industrial production but are presented to appear more resilient than reality. MUST estimates real inflation at around 15%, closer to Russia's key interest rate than the official 5.86%, and warns of an impending banking crisis. Despite this, the weak economy does not affect Russia's strategic objectives in Ukraine, as the decision to continue the war is political, not economic.
