Russiaâs Financial Crisis (cont.) ⢠The IMF offered loans of official international reserves to try to support the fixed exchange rate conditional on reforms. ⢠But in 1998, Russia devalued the ruble and defaulted on its debt and froze financial asset flows. ⢠Without international financial assets for investment, output fell in 1998 but recovered thereafter, partially due to the expanding petroleum industry. ⢠Inflation rose in 1998 and 1999 but fell thereafter.
