DombrovskisKen Rogoff: Russia is heading to incredibly poverty due to sanctionsKen, Harvard University economics professor, is telling delegates that while the war will be decided by military action, sanctions are having a significant impact on Russia’s economy.Look at Iran, look at North Korea, look at Venezuela, look at Cuba, that’s where Russia’s headed.
Rogoff believes Russia’s economy is weaker than the offical statistics, saying he doesn’t believe anything Russia says when it comes to numbers. The most important sanctions are the ones that slow Russia’s military machine, Rogof explains. He suggests there should be a further clampdown on the grey market, as consumer devices have chips which can be repurposed for military purposes.
