Special Report: Russia: macro implications of increased geopolitical risk
Impact on growth
In terms of the impact on growth, capital outflows will undermine investment
activity with the funds taken off-shore rather than invested in new production
facilities. The uncertainty over the political and economic situation in Ukraine
as well as concerns over possible sanctions imposed on Russian businesses
could further exacerbate costs.

We base our analysis on the same capital outflow assumptions that we used in
the previous section:
• Base case: Capital outflows moderate to a level of USD30bn from
USD62bn in 2013.
• Scenario 1: Capital outflows intensify to USD60bn, the level of 2011-2013.
• Scenario 2: Capital outflows intensify beyond the average levels of the past
several years, to USD100bn.
• Scenario 3: Capital outflows resemble 2008 and reach USD130bn.
In Figure 11 we illustrate the impact of higher capital outflows on GDP growth.
The 'direct impact' column illustrates the first-round effect from higher capital
flight, while the 'impact' column also accounts for some second-round effects
and the resulting improvement in the CA balance.

Our analysis suggests that capital outflows of USD60bn would prevent the
Russian economy from staging a significant acceleration this year, with annual
growth of 1.4% yoy vs. 1.3% yoy in 2013, 3.4% yoy in 2012 and 4.3% yoy in
2011.
