MOSCOW, March ‌31 (Reuters) - ​The ​Russian economy will grow ‌by 0.8% this year, ⁠down from a ‌forecast of 1% ‌a month ago, according to a ​Reuters poll of 16 analysts ⁠on Tuesday, echoing an earlier ​government announcement that the official forecast ​could be ‌downgraded.

The government forecasts economic growth ⁠of 1.3% in 2026, but Economy ⁠Minister Maxim Reshetnikov warned ​last week that this forecast could be revised ‌downward in April after a "tough" first ‌half ⁠of the ‌year.
