The Russian Federation in Transition: External Developments

Benedicte Christensen

No 1994/005, IMF Occasional Papers from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: This paper examines the effects of three "shocks" - the disintegration of the U.S.S.R., domestic economic reform, and changing relations with other countries- on Russia's balance of payments position. The importance of consistent economic reform and a liberal trade regime is stressed, together with the role of financial assistance.
