Russia's economy is expected to improve in 2010 but the recovery process will be fragile and protracted.

Unemployment was 8.1% in November 2009 ' up from the previous month ' reinforcing our view that seasonal effects are likely to push the jobless rate higher through to the early part of 2010. Unemployment is likely to rise to 8.5% by end-2009. The stabilisation of oil prices above US$60.00/bbl and the recapitalisation of domestic banks will underpin the macroeconomic recovery beyond 2009.

Domestically, democratic conditions came under increased scrutiny through October and November with allegations of electoral fraud at regional elections held on October 11.

President Medvedev has spoken of increasing Russia's presence in peacekeeping, in part to increase Russia's international profile. Although Russia is reluctant to rely on other countries for defence procurements, as the industry becomes less state-controlled, greater multinational involvement may lead to products being sourced from overseas.

Report Summary
Russia's economy is expected to improve in 2010 but the recovery process will be fragile and protracted. We expect economic growth
to rise to 3.4% in 2010, as much driven by re-stocking and base effects as productivity gains and an expansion of new consumptive
capacity. Unemployment was 8.1% in November 2009 ' up from the previous month ' reinforcing our view that seasonal effects are
likely to push the jobless rate higher through to the early part of 2010. Unemployment is likely to rise to 8.5% by end-2009.
The stabilisation of oil prices above US$60.00/bbl and the recapitalisation of domestic banks will underpin the macroeconomic
recovery beyond 2009. Windfall oil revenues should help to bolster the government's ability to maintain support of the country's
domestic capital market; and also to pay down external debt and build up a stabilisation fund to help safeguard public finances.
Domestically, democratic conditions came under increased scrutiny through October and November with allegations of electoral fraud
at regional elections held on October 11. According to official results from the Central Electoral Commission, the governing United
Russia Party, led by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, won a landslide victory in almost every one of the 76 regional legislatures.
In the worst terrorist attack in Russia outside the North Caucasus region for 5 years, a bombing on November 28 on a Russian train '
on the Nevsky Express main line, which operates between Moscow and St Petersburg ' left dozens dead and over 100 injured.
Chechen separatist militants claimed responsibility for the attack and, in turn, Russian Prime Minister pledged to destroy any terrorist
groups. The bombing highlights the persistent security risks in Russia. Violence in the North Caucasus remains high and has
