Related: About this forumRussian Economy Imploding as Interest Rates are Hiked, Inflation Soars & Worker Shortages Increase - Joe Blogs

Inflation has been rising rapidly over the past 12 months and the Russian Central Bank has now increased Interest Rates to 18% putting Russian into the top 15 countries with the Highest Rates in the world. In addition Russia is also facing a severe workforce shortage and this shortage has lead to companies in Russia having to offer higher wages, which in turn is driving up inflation. In this video I provide more details and discuss the problems that Russia is now facing.
