TREE NEWS reports: Russia’s economy expanded 1% year on year in the third quarter, slowing from 1.3% growth in the previous reading. Capital investment rose 6.2% year on year in the quarter, reversing a 6.6% decline in the prior period. The figures point to softer headline growth alongside a sharp rebound in investment spending.
