Russia’s current account surplus narrowed to USD 31.4 billion in Q4 of 2022 from USD 35.5 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year, according to preliminary estimates. It was a sharp decline from the record high USD 76.7 billion in Q2 of the year, as the EU’s oil embargo, the G7’s price cap on oil export services, and Moscow’s halt of natural gas exports to Europe suppressed the goods exports. Meanwhile, sweeping sanctions from the West kept imports below pre-invasion levels. Still, the surplus hit a record high of USD 227.4 billion in 2022, up 86% from 2021 as imports fell and export revenues remained strong on higher oil and gas prices despite Western efforts to isolate the Russian economy. source: Central Bank of Russia

Russia Current Account Widens in Q3
Russia’s current account surplus widened to USD 51.9 billion in the third quarter of 2022 from USD 47 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year, according to a preliminary estimate. While remaining high in historical standards, the surplus was a sharp decrease from the upwardly revised record-high from the previous quarter, as Moscow’s halt of natural gas supplies and the EU’s unwillingness to purchase Russian oil suppressed the goods surplus. Still, sweeping sanctions from the West on Moscow kept imports well below pre-invasion levels. The goods and services aggregate surplus rose to USD 68.4 billion from USD 47.4 billion in the prior year in the third quarter, but narrowed sharply from the USD 90.3 billion from the second quarter.
