More than 30% of Russian companies are operating at a loss: intelligence data for 2025.

The economic crisis in Russia has reached a critical level

According to inkorr.com: In the first half of 2025, more than 30% of companies in Russia reported losses, the highest figure since 2020.

According to the Foreign Intelligence Service, over 19 thousand Russian enterprises reported total losses exceeding $62 billion. This situation complicates the situation more than in many developed countries.

Industries that have suffered the most in the Russian economy

The largest losses are observed in the coal industry, energy, water supply, and waste disposal. The construction sector and the production of durable goods, including cars and industrial equipment, remain under significant pressure as well.

The consequences of the economic collapse create a chain reaction: a decline in profits leads to a decrease in tax revenues, a reduction in investment, and an increase in debt.

Forecasts and Facts

'As a result, further growth in the share of loss-making companies is expected in Russia,' said the Foreign Intelligence Service.

The projected federal budget deficit of Russia this year could exceed 1.7% of GDP. The forecasted GDP growth rate from 1.5% has been reduced to 1.2%.

In the first half of 2025, the budget received 17.584 trillion rubles, while expenditures amounted to 21.278 trillion rubles. More than 39% of this amount was spent on military operations, which is less than in the first quarter.

Since the beginning of the month, Russia has spent over $1.3 trillion on military operations in Ukraine and more than $100 million on propaganda in social media and attracting Ukrainian bloggers.

The spread of losses in the Russian economy indicates the seriousness of the crisis, which is reaching critical proportions and may have serious consequences for the entire country. The most affected sectors point to systemic problems that require urgent resolution, and the expected increase in the number of unprofitable enterprises further deepens economic difficulties.
