Swedish economist and diplomat Anders Aslund believes that Russia may exhaust its liquid financial reserves by the fall of 2025. This could lead to a financial crisis.

As MSN explains, Aslund notes that the liquid assets of the National Wealth Fund have decreased significantly from $117 billion in 2021 to approximately $31 billion at the end of 2024.
