The IMF estimates Russia's economy will grow faster than the likes of the US, UK and Germany this year.

An influential global body has forecast Russia’s economy will grow faster than all of the world’s advanced economies, including the US, this year.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects Russia to grow 3.2% this year, significantly more than the UK, France and Germany.

Oil exports have “held steady” and government spending has “remained high” contributing to growth, the IMF said.

Overall, it said the world economy had been “remarkably resilient”

“Despite many gloomy predictions, the world avoided a recession, the banking system proved largely resilient, and major emerging market economies did not suffer sudden stops,” the IMF said.

    A flame that burns twice as bright

    Burns only half as long

    My eyes are growing weary as I finalize this song

    Sooooooooo

    Sit back, have a cup of Joe

    And watch those wheels go round

    Cause those damned blue collar tweekers are running this here town!
