MOSCOW, March 19 (Reuters) - Russia’s gross domestic product (GDP) fell 2.8% year-on-year in February, the economy ministry said on Friday, compared to a drop of 2.2% year-on-year the previous month. After shrinking 3.1% in 2020, its sharpest contraction in 11 years, Russia’s oil-dependent economy is set to recover to pre-crisis levels by the end of this year, the central bank said on Friday while raising interest rates.
