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.
