The Economic Outlook A Better Global Backdrop - More oil supply (especially from shale) coming on line - US private sector recovering - Diminished (not eliminated) tail risk from Eurozone - Very easy monetary policy across DM and still getting easier Key Macro Themes in Emerging Asia - Spillovers from a radical shift at the Bank of Japan inflation targeting and yen depreciation - Leadership transitions (China, Japan ) - Booming credit, including expansion of shadow banking China Country/regional views - China: moderate growth as easy credit offsets tighter policy in key sectors - India: a few green shoots, but still looking for a clearer upturn (and bolder policy reform) - Brazil: sluggish cycle but sticky inflation, rate hike in sight - Russia: Moderate growth amidst uncertain micro policy agenda Goldman Sachs Global Economics, Commodities and Strategy Research 17

33 Russia: Moderate growth amidst uncertain micro policy agenda - Structurally the economy is very well placed to see domestic demand to grow in excess of 5% yoy justifying its BRIC status - main domestic concern is the reluctance of domestic corporates to invest despite very healthy returns - Ruble should be well supported by the need to bring inflation to 4-5% in 2014 (and ultimately 3-4%) and current account surpluses. - main risk is lower oil prices. Net capital outflows should subside once domestic corporates have the confidence to invest and/or foreign debt markets open up. - Public finance position remains the most healthy in the G20. - budget was in surplus in 2012 and will remain in surplus going forward as long as oil prices don t sell off. Ultimately taxes will go up starting from gas/excise - Vulnerability to external shocks far smaller than in exchange rate is more flexible, being a shock absorber - no net external financing in the banking sector - inventories haven t been rebuild Goldman Sachs Global Economics, Commodities and Strategy Research 33

34 Russia s transition to inflation targeting - The CBR s new guidelines call for the transition to be complete by 2014 What has changed? - Comprehensive targets for inflation have been announced - 6-7% by end Dec.2011 (has been met) - 5-6% by end Dec % by Dec % by Dec 2014 and in % in the longer run - Policy interest rates are set monthly and the CBR has narrowed the interest rate corridor to have a tighter grab on short term rates. - The CBR is issuing policy statements after each interest rate decision, communicating its view on growth and inflation. - Policy initiatives under discussion - CBR is discussing introducing longer term repo s under floating rates (repo + xbps) to help the bank use the collateral more efficiently. - CBR is thinking about reducing the interest rate corridor even further by lowering the fx swap rate closer towards the repo rate. Goldman Sachs Global Economics, Commodities and Strategy Research 34

35 We have pared back Ruble forecast We believe that fundamentals support a stronger Ruble, although capital outflows have likely held back the Ruble year-to-date. - We now forecast the Ruble at 34.5/35.0/34.0 vs. the basket in 3/6/12 months Fundamentals support the Ruble: - Large interest rate differentials: RUB is now a high-yielding currency - Current account surplus (US$60bn in 2013), supported by oil price and seasonality - Domestic demand for funding and strong domestic issuance (corporates + govt) - CBR focus on reducing inflation (somewhat under question with new CBR chair) CA (NSA-SA, %GDP) USD/RUB (%qoq) RUB/basket (%qoq) Positive numbers indicate Ruble appreciation Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Goldman Sachs Global Economics, Commodities and Strategy Research 35
