Russia's Jan-Aug 2026 trade surplus up 16.4% to $102.9B

Russia's trade surplus for January-August 2026 rose 16.4% year-on-year to $102.9 billion, per Federal Customs Service data. The increase suggests sustained export revenues despite sanctions, though the composition (energy vs. non-energy) is not specified. This signals resilience in Russia's external position, potentially easing fiscal pressure and funding capacity for the war effort.
