😁 Putin told BRICS leaders that the Russian economy is growing faster than the global economy. The truth is, the global economy doesn't know that.
The dictator boasted that over 2023–2025 years Russia's GDP grew by 10,3%. Except that the global economy over the same period grew by 10,7%, and in 2025 Russia grew by only 1% compared with the world's 3,5%.
In 2026 it's even funnier: the Russian Ministry of Economic Development forecasts growth of only 0,4%, whereas the IMF expects about 3% for the global economy, 5% for China, and 6,4% for India.
One thing is to tell Russians about an economic miracle. But expecting BRICS leaders—whose economies are growing many times faster—to believe it is fairly bold.
