Russia Targets 3% GDP Share for IT Sector by 2029, Up from 2.5%

Russia's Ministry of Economic Development forecasts the IT sector will grow to 3% of GDP by 2029, from 2.5% in 2025, per a macroeconomic outlook reviewed by the government. This signals continued state prioritization of tech self-reliance amid sanctions, but the projection is a target rather than a hard commitment. The modest increase suggests gradual, not transformative, growth.
