2019 figures comparing Moldova and Russia’s economy. Russia’s is over 75% extractive resource industries. Moldova’s has no noticeable extractive resources on the chart (I am counting wood products as renewable in both cases. Which of these economies will be more resilient to change and disruption? Which one will be easily brought to it’s knees by sanctions. Well, rapidly anyway, if not ‘easily’. Russia’s is 120 times bigger by dollar value tho.
