Abstract

We assess the impact of financial development on Russian regional economic growth (2009–2019). Utilizing Method of Moments Quantile Regression, we find bank credit crucial for growth, especially in high-potential regions. Surprisingly, credit is more effective pre-WTO accession than post-accession. The 2014 sanctions negatively, but insignificantly impact the least developed regions, significantly affecting developing and developed ones. Gross fixed capital formation, export, and innovation significantly contribute to growth. Our findings imply nuanced regional dynamics in Russia and suggest tailored policy responses.
