Kremlin aide: Russia’s imports fell sharply in March as Western companies pulled out

Kremlin aide Maxim Oreshkin was quoted by the RIA news agency as saying on Friday that Russian imports fell sharply in March due to logistical restrictions and the withdrawal of Western companies from the country.

He expected the decline to reach “tens of percent”.

The Russian current account surplus is expected to exceed $200 billion in 2022, Interfax quoted Oreshkin as saying.
