On the demand side, higher growth and remittances, with 95% coming from the Russian Federation, helped boost consumption. Investment rose by 23.3% from private and foreign sources, mainly for mineral extraction and processing. Inflation slowed from 9.4% in 2020 to 8.0% in 2021. Growth is forecast to decelerate in 2022 due to the impact of an economic downturn in the Russian Federation and associated adverse external environment.
