The economy of Russia is a high-income,[27] industrialized,[28] mixed market-oriented economy.[29] It has the eleventh-largest economy in the world by nominal GDP, the sixth-largest economy by GDP purchasing power parity (PPP) according to the IMF,[5] and fourth-largest economy by GDP (PPP) according to World Bank.[30] Russia has enormous allocations of natural resources, particularly in terms of natural gas and oil reserves, and thus exerts significant economic power in its exports.[31] Due to a volatile currency exchange rate, its GDP measured in dollars fluctuates sharply.[32] Russia was the last major economy to join the World Trade Organization (WTO), becoming a member in 2012.[33]

Russia's vast geography is an important determinant of its economic activity, with the country holding a large share of the world's natural resources.[34] It has been widely described as an energy superpower;[35] as it has the world's largest natural gas reserves,[36] 2nd-largest coal reserves,[37] 8th-largest oil reserves,[38] and the largest oil shale reserves in Europe.[39] It is the world's leading natural gas exporter,[40] the 2nd-largest natural gas producer,[41] the 2nd-largest oil exporter[42] and producer[43] and third largest coal exporter.[44] Russia's foreign exchange reserves are the world's 5th-largest.[45] It has a labour force of roughly 70 million people, which is the world's 7th-largest.[46] Russia is the world's 3rd-largest exporter of arms.[47] The oil and gas sector accounted up to roughly 34% of Russia's federal budget revenues,[48] and up to 54% of its exports in 2021.[49][50]

Russia's human development is ranked as "very high" in the annual Human Development Index.[51] Roughly 70% of Russia's total GDP is driven by domestic consumption,[52] and the country has the world's twelfth-largest consumer market.[53] It has the fifth-highest number of billionaires in the world.[54] However, Russia's inequality of household income and wealth has remained comparatively high over time, which has been significantly caused by the large variance between Russian geographic regions and their differing levels of energy resources.[55]

Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the country has faced extensive sanctions and other negative financial actions from the Western world and its allies which have the aim of isolating the Russian economy from the Western financial system.[56] However, Russia's economy has shown resilience to such measures broadly, and has maintained economic stability and growth—driven primarily by high military expenditure,[57] household consumption, soaring wages,[58] low unemployment,[13] and government expenditure.[59] Yet, experts predict the sanctions will have a long-term negative effect on the Russian economy.[60]

Russia accounts for around 20 per cent of the world's production of oil and natural gas and possesses large reserves of both fuels. This abundance has made Russia virtually self-sufficient in energy and a large-scale exporter of fuels.
