Russia Calls Forum Highlights Economic Caution Amid Drought Crisis
Leaders from business, banking, and government gathered in Krasnodar this week for the Russia Calls forum. The event focused on the country's cautious investment approach amid economic challenges. Among the attendees were President Vladimir Putin, Krasnodar Governor Veniamin Kondratyev, and top executives from major firms.
The forum took place as southern Russia faces its worst drought in three decades. Nine districts in Krasnodar Krai remain under a state of emergency due to the dry conditions. Despite this, officials highlighted positive economic signs, including a growing regional product and optimistic forecasts for 2025.
The Russia Calls forum wrapped up with a clear message: 2025 will bring both opportunities and hardships. While drought continues to strain southern regions, targeted state support aims to keep essential projects on track. The conservative budget reflects an effort to curb inflation while maintaining steady development.
