Turkmenistan's GDP is quite wrong here. I assume that official currency rate is used here for calculating GDP in USD. But the problem is that the real rate (in black market) for local currency is 2.5-3 times worse compared to official ones. You just can't buy USD there using official rate.
The GDP is based on the wealth produced by a country, and what would be its value in dollars - it does not mean the income people in that country get, or what can they buy with that income. As Turkmenistan’s economy is strongly dependant on oil, gas and raw materials, the GDP fluctuates a lot, depending of the prices and demand of these materials.
I'm wondering how much of the economic growth in Russia can be explained by the rise in commodity prices between 2009 and 2013. And the effect of the fluctuation of the oil price on their GDP. Would be useful to explain if the production capacity of Russia actually increased or if just the prices of their goods increased.
Respect to the Baltics from the Czech Republic, we are amongst the few countries considered wealthy and developed even after communism, also it's a shame that 2014 happened, Russia was doing quite good.

@@mikaminskas Thats not how it works. GDP is calculated by adding consumer and gov spending, total investments, and net exports. If the gov bought a tank than the gdp increased.

It can't because Estonia is too small and can't attract skilled people from eastern Europe. Czechia or Poland has a much better chance for that. Czechia profits from being a popular destination for skilled Russians, Belarusians and Ukrainians. It's beneficial to be able to attract skilled workforce from 200 million population. Not only that but also other developing countries like Brazil or India. You may be surprised but they are willing to immigrate to Czechia. Estonia will always suffer from simply being too small and on the edge of the EU.

И посмотри % и суммы дотаций из бюджета ЕС, куда, кстати, ВСЕ страны ЕС перечисляют свои средства, в т.ч. и Литва. Литва там далеко не в лидерах. Огромная дотационная помощь идет, ты удивишься, Греции, Португалии, даже Испании, балканским странам и... Польше. Дотации ВСЕГДА идут на конкретные программы и цели, например, на культурные цели, восстановление древних памятников архитектуры, реновацию домов, дороги и пр. При этом 50% конкретной программы оплачивает страна-реципиент из СОБСТВЕННОГО БЮДЖЕТА! И осуществляется строгий контроль за использованием выделенных средств со стороны соответствующих финансовых органов ЕС. У нас не воруют и работают на совесть, поэтому и результаты такие. Я в предыдущем комментарии не упомянула, что Литва обошла по уровню з/п не только Эстонию, которую привела в пример, но и всегда обходила Польшу, и некоторые страны Центральной Европы, не говоря и о балканских странах, за исключением Словении. Про наличие промышленности и производств в Литве также советую погуглить. Удивишься. Но тебе это не надо. Вот когда вы в России догоните Литву хотя бы по уровню средней и минимальной з/п (1524 и 642 евро соответственно), которая у нас постоянно повышается... тогда можешь тут шипеть. В Вильнюсе средняя з/п на уровне 2000 евро + -. Часто ваши тролли про цены начинают верещать.

For such charts use PPP values, not nominal ones. Nominal values are inherently poor for such comparisons because they rely on currency exchange rates and ignore differences in purchasing power - a weakening of a given currency will be displayed as a contraction in nominal terms in $ although the actual economy has not contracted or even grown. Adjustment by PPP eliminates substantial distortions caused by exchange fluctuations. For instance, in 1997 the Russian economy reported very slight growth but the chart shows an epic collapse in dollar terms that did not take place.
Well, the purchasing power still depends on the exchange rate a lot. You can buy shit for national money but ultimately the good stuff is still imported. To get imports, usually you need foreign currency and stuff.
both should be used, PPP doesnt tell the whole story. just a simple expample: yes, you might buy potatoes cheaper but smartphones cost pretty much the same everywhere. going abroad the income in nominal matters much more than ppp. best is when both are high.
wrong. company's tend to ignore economic differences, and so things are priced the same. 1000 USD for a smartphone, and the equivilent of 1000 USD for russia.
But emigration from there is beating all world records for last decade. And vice versa: emigration from Russia virtually stops in first decade of 21st century and still didn't restarted. Can you explain these facts? They show the _real_ situation way better than "spherical horse" of charts and numbers.
so what ive learned from this is the collapse of the soviet union was insanely disasterous for russia's economy and the baltic states were the big winners of the dissolution.
This is totally excellent. Could you please move the flags to the RIGHT of the the bars and the NAME of the countries to the LEFT so that we can SEE name of the country not trying to guess what the flag represents = most of the names are hidden on the left in this graph which is very annoying!!
It wouldn't say much. Exchanging or owning dollars was something that would put you in jail, so the government could set any exchange rate it wanted. They didn't trade with the West much anyway. Because the economy was so imbalanced, you couldn't always buy basic necessities like butter or meat even if your salary was relatively high. Things like cars or TVs or washing machines were insanely expensive, most people couldn't afford a car after 20 years of saving. Most urban households didn't have things like washing machines or hair dryers, microwaves were unheard of. Long story short, all of my grandparents insist(ed) life is much better now (Ukraine).
@@themeiafy Actually ita wasn't so but about cars yes. But anyway even the life in the Western Europe at the same time was quite similar. The things changed from 85-86... For example in Italy in 82 the car price starts from 5 millions lires when awerage salary was 300k-400k lires and there wasn't such a think like bank's credits like we all have today, so if you had savings to buy a car you buy it, if not you use a bicicle or take a bus to go to work. The problem with basic things in USSR starts with Gorby's Perestroyka..
@@sergeypopov801 What are you talking about? Life wasn't nearly the same in the West. At least people there could actually BUY a house, instead of being at the mercy of the government. They could go wherever they wanted. Rural residents didn't even have passports in USSR until mid 1970-ies! They'd be attested if they were caught outside of their place of residence. And it's not like they could do farming, either. All they could do was work at a collective farm for a salary which could only buy them bread. Yes, there was no deficit until 1980-ies, but you could only choose from 2-3 brands at best. And I'm talking most basic things like sausage or candy, not something crazy. And it's not like people could afford those outside of a capital, they were dirt poor. Even buying a clothes item was a big problem, except maybe for like 5-10 "good" (slightly better, in fact) years.
@@themeiafy dude lot if people frim Kolhoz hadn't passport cause they ligelly didn't need it. It wasn't necessary to have a passport if you lived in rural areas. There wasn't need to show ID (passport in russian cause in west theu called pasdport what we called traveling or external passport) when you buy a ticke in siviet times. Yes we don't had 300 tipes of shampoo or shoes like in the west but we had 5 tipes and you could buy them in every shop of the coutry. Yes in the west you could buy a house or a car immediately but only if you had a money, in ussr you get a house for free and also cars was given for free for some job achievemnts and yes, some people waits for yers for them but only a small part of people. I grew up during soviet times and i remember it well. Communism wasn't better or wors than capitalism. It was just different system with different problems. And yes we lived in exactly same way like western europeans. I've spent 15 year of my life living and workin in Italy, Germany and France and saw the family photos of lot of people, heard a lot of stories about how the life was in past. Just google the Beatles's photos before the became famouse, you can see that they lived like us. Ofcourse in capitalism you can get rich and live like a God, in communism you can't neither if you was a high rank party member, but common people, the workers, lived in ecatly same way cause as i said there wasn't a Mutual credit system in western Europe in those times so if someone saved enoght money it could buy a house or a car, if not he couldn't. We, soviets, often had to wait in queques for them but as i said your position in queque was depending of lot of factors like was you a good citizen that respect laws and works good, was you a smoker or drink, had you just a medium school grade or you had finished the university, what kind of studies you've choosen an etc.. All those factors influenced your position in quequesto get a house or a car. About the restant good i can garantee that we had everything. My grandparents were "poor" acvording to awerage soviet salary, they in two earns 150 rubles while my mother, a mining engeneer gainhad same salary alone. The life was really cheap a those times. With 150 ruble you could live for two month alone or gan mantain the family of two adult and 2 kids for a month. That's why a lot of families had only one income made generally by father and lived good.
@@sergeypopov801 What a lot of nonsense. I could stop reading at "didn't need a passport". It's not like they could get it if they needed it. And they didn't need it because they WEREN'T ALLOWED to do anything aside from working at a state farm. And yes you could get an apartment for free, but it would probably be either a room with 5 other families, or you'd have to wait for it for 25 years and live with your parents and kids in a two-room apartment. Nice, isn't it? You'd have to be REALLY nice to certain people if you wanted something better. Please stop BS-ing me, I'd rather read Pravda newspaper if I wanted some Soviet propaganda. I know how things were in real life, not in newspapers
The upper part of the list is the same - just Lithuania has surpassed Estonia due to lower prices there and Russia has a bigger number for real living standards - still fourth, over 10000 dollars behind Estonia. There are more components in that kind of comparison - Lithuania has much higher taxes than Estonia, so after taxes Estonia has still the highest salaries and buying power.
Well, once I bought perfect cheese in Tallinn for just 1€ for a 150g pack. It brought me gack to childhood. The same cheese, but without smell and taste, can be purchased in Moscow for at least 2€. So tell me how Russia can have 28.000 by purchasing power? Moreover, 11.000$ is an average number, you know Russia has huge gap between the richest and poorest ones. Estonian 22.000$ per capita, opposite, literally mean 22.000$ per almost everyone who's involved in labour market. It's sad to admit, but Russia has failed with its corruption and weird ambitions outside the country. People's wealth is not a priority for our ruler.

Большинство стран мира (даже Евросоюз) занижают курс своей национальной валюты к доллару различными, в том числе монетарными методами, так как это огромный залог их конкурентоспособности на международном рынке. И многое другое этот факт разным странам также даёт. Единственное, в номинале объёмы их экономик будут казаться в несколько раз меньше, чем это есть на самом деле.

@@toivotraks No. If measured by PPP, Russia would be the Second largest economy in Europe close behind Germany and the 6th largest economy in the World.
@@haeveen8255 Not gonna lie, I think they would be better without EU... they are between the most libertarian countries in the world, despite having low resources.
@@jonnymario771 Hello from Estonia! My country's north-eastern part is mostly Russian-speaking and without European open market economic stimulus within EU and military presence by NATO this region could well be like Crimea or Eastern Ukraine.
@@toivotraks I see, the stimilus was from their economy. But you guys, for example, didnt even need public education for developing. Compare to my country, Brazil, with lots of public/universal shenannigans and we are a piece of crap, even with a huge country and lots of resources. Free market economies are way beyond rigged countries like mine. What I meant about the EU is that you guys are like the top tier of Europe, IMO.
@@beorlingo I think, from a believer living in a poor country myself, it's more about finding some comfort, some guiding force in your existing living conditions. It's not about asking god/gods/entity for actual monetary richness, but for finding spiritual richness and guidance while you try to escape poverty.
uhh EU isn bad at all :D and 80% of the russians who live in Baltics agree, most russians know that they have better lives in EU than in Russia :D especially right now
@@adinik3960 Many Russians use just GDP (PPP) to underline and boast their greatness - totally ignoring per capita that reduces that greatness catastrophically.
@@toivotraks What has Russia to do with it? It doesn't matter to me, the important thing is that PPP GDP is the main indicator of the economy. And Russia is considered a wealthy country, is in the top 50 countries in terms of GDP in terms of PPP per capita from more than 200 countries of the world and is also included in the number of developed countries according to the HDI index.
@@danielgeller7629 So what you are saying is that all countries with high populations should be poor and non-productive and small countries should be rich and well functioning?
@@leonidasg2257 you just said some bullshit. What is the "big daddy governance type"? And Estonia is the first in the list, because its population is stupidly 2 times lower than the for example Lithuanian. Estonia doesnt even produce anything
@@danielgeller7629 By big daddy government I ment that Estonia was the first country to move away from a big central government model and liberalize its economy. Most post soviet countries are today still run by the governmnt and a few oligarchs, are full of corruption and struggle to make any progress. Also population has NOTHING to do with it. If you dont understand what gdp PER CAPITA is, there is no point talking to you.
@@bigjim1041 in the USSR nobody believed it as well. But it happened. It will happen in the US as well. And it looks like we don't have to wait too long
This is the key question! Just three Baltic nations took right decisions after collapse of the USSR. Look at CIS countries, look at Russia with its enormous potential and resources!
Yes, and that was the only right decision they made. Baltic countries, except for Estonia, are stagnating and dying out. I'm glad the European passport provided me with the opportunity to move to a developed European country from there.
@@nimkati5627 Lithuania is on par with Estonia, Latvia not far behind. And you got your European passport to move in Europe - unlike Russians - thanks to Baltic countries being in EU and Schengen. And after that right decision we are moving in the right direction - unlike the rest of CIS.
@@nimkati5627 I'm an average pensioner in Estonia, supplementing my income a bit by working a little. I'm living, not surviving! To say otherwise seems quite offensive to me. I can easily cope with my living expenses, I can have a full cultural life, I can travel abroad before and after covid, I can use all electronic things provided by my country, I'm socially insured. Best greetings from Estonia and good luck for living in a developed country!
It was inevitable, your production methods and the things you are producing are out of date, and suddenly the real value of said machinery and product are staring you in the face. The other problem was the immense arms production was all but useless, nobody wants it nor can they afford it. The T-55 was the most produced tank in the world, but it has no real market value.
@@toivotraks when market destroys your economy and sends 50 million into unemployment with everything being sold for pennies, as these countries enter into recession for the first time after 70 years and life expectancy drops by almost a decade but it's still gomunizms fault... So fucking delusional
@@nationalist1389 It's called an economic recession. Economic recessions could occur when a country artificially increases its economic value through overestimulating the economy. It could happen in the context of use of loans from banks without any government intervention like happened in 2.008, or in that case, with an economic system that is overestreched by producing many products considered obsolete, out of demand. You can correct me if I'm wrong. Sorry for my English, it's not my first language.
@@nationalist1389 as the other guy already mentioned, its the switch from communism to capitalism that caused a big recession, probably since when they opened their markets, they just couldnt compete with foreign products. Regardless, i dont need to tell you that communism doesnt work. Look at cuba, look at china, even China is partially privatising their industry (going more capitalist) because they know communism is the inferior economic system. It's sad, but true. And no political propaganda should keep you from checking facts.
Yet the free market seems to have failed literally every other post-Soviet state outside the Baltics. Its a shame too since almost 80% of Soviet citizens voted to keep the union together in a referendum but it was dissolved anyways because of capitalists
@@darklibertario5001 Lol. In 90's Russia had absolute zero interference of goverment in economy. We all saw how it ended so no it's not abou a state control, it's about what the west did. Estonia had the most advanced elctronic industry in USSR so after collapse of it, Estonian industry was integrated in NATO's production chains while in other ex republics with free market and zero goverment controll entire industry was sold for ridiculouse prices to the mafia members that then did'n upgrade it or make it works but just cut it in pieces and sold for original or right prices. That's how the Oligachs has apperaed and that's why almost all ex soviet repubblics had economic falls in 90's and some of the have it even today. For example Russia is still rebuilding it industry while Ukraine is still cutting and selling.
@@MalleusImperiorum Don't know what Clinton has to do with this, but if you take a look to the Index of Economic Freedon by the Heritage Foundation, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia are mostly free states. All the rest have lower scores, they're more restricted. That implies things such as weaker property rights, less monetary, financial, trade, investment and business freedom, and/or higher tax burden. Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Central Asia ex-Soviet nations are classified from "moderately free" to "mostly unfree". Many of these countries have liberalized their economies more in the latest years, though.
@@SnipermanElite In the 90's most of these countries were under direct control from Washington D.C., the US (being the world champion of liberal freedoms and democracy) had an opportunity to make these countries as free as they get. There were lots of talks about authoritarianism of socialism and freedoms of capitalism - now that they were free to choose their leaders and free to become billionaires. So, what happened? Why are they so dirt poor and obviously worse off than before the 90's? Where did all the Western promises go? No way the US advisors lied to them just to plunder their countries, to sell off for nothing and bankrupt thousands of Soviet enterprises! It couldn't be!.. Hmm, maybe if they try the same thing they will finally live like Scandinavians instead?..
@@SnipermanElite Just so you know, the Heritage Foundation is an American conservative rightist organisation sponsored by oil oligarchs. They would easily rank Hitler's Germany the most "economically free", as long as it's allied with the US, of course..
