[(Title)] IMF upgrades forecast for Russia's growth to 1.8% in 2019.

MOSCOW, October 9. /TASS/. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has upgraded the forecast for Russia's growth to 1.8% in 2019, according to the World Economic Outlook report released on Tuesday.

根据周二公布的世界经济展望报告，国际货币基金组织（IMF）已将2019年俄罗斯经济增长预测上调至1.8％。

At the same time, IMF expects Russia's inflation to stay at the level of 2.8% due to tight monetary policy.

与此同时，IMF预计，由于紧缩货币政策，俄罗斯通胀将维持在2.8%的水平。

"Russia's inflation, expected to average 2.8% in 2018, is below the target of 4%, driven by moderately tight monetary policy. However, it is projected to rise to 5.1% in 2019, supported by an ongoing recovery in domestic demand, higher fuel prices, and pass-through from the recent depreciation," the report said.

“由于适度紧缩的货币政策推动，2018年预计平均增长2.8％的俄罗斯通胀率低于4％的目标，然而，由于国内需求持续复苏，预计2019年通胀将增长至5.1%，“报告说。

"Given the inflation outlook, monetary policy could also be adjusted from its moderately tight stance toward a neutral stance in Russia," the report added.

报告补充说：“鉴于通胀前景，货币政策也可以从适度的紧张立场调整到中立立场。”

"Priority areas in Russia include improving property rights and governance, enhancing the institutional infrastructure, reforming labor markets, and investing in innovation and infrastructure," the IMF noted.

IMF指出：“俄罗斯的优先领域包括改善产权和治理，加强体制基础设施，改革劳动力市场，投资于创新和基础设施。
