Fiscal Policy: Issues During the Transition in Russia

Sergei Alexashenko and Augusto López-Claros

No 1998/006, IMF Occasional Papers from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: Since 1992, the Russian Federation has moved away from a command economy and has laid the foundation of a market-based system. This paper examines some of the key fiscal policy issues that arose in 1992-96, the period following the onset of economic liberalization and reform.
