The World Bank on Tuesday predicted that Russia's economy would
shrink by 0.7 percent in 2015, but warned that the contraction would be
worse if oil prices were to keep sliding.
The World Bank said its forecast is based on a scenario of crude prices averaging at $78 in 2015. But if oil prices fell to $70, Russia's output would shrink by 1.5 percent, it said.
