Russia's Wealth Fund Under Pressure 🏦💥
Gold reserves in the National Wealth Fund have plunged by ~71% in 3 years! 📉 From 554.9 tons (2022) to just ~160.2 tons.
The financial cushion, meant for crises & key projects, is thinning fast. Current liquid assets: ~4.1 trillion rubles.
⚠️ Warning: If oil prices stay low & the ruble weak, Russia could burn through 60% of remaining assets in just one year.
This risks:
• Reduced economic shock buffer 🛡️
• Less funding for social & defense programs 💰
• Vulnerability to volatile energy markets ⛽🌍
The fund's rapid depletion signals a tough road ahead for Russia's financial stability.
