Viime vuonna Venäjän federaatiobudjetin sotilasmenot olivat yli 7 % BKT:sta, kun vuonna 2021 osuus oli 3,6 %.

So, from now on US average effective tariff rate will be 22.5 %.

🚨 KITE Insta-Analysis: New "reciprocal" US tariffs are serious. We ran both status quo (tariffs until April 2 incl. retaliation) and newly announced reciprocal tariff regime through the KITE model. (Non-) spoiler: 🇺🇸 hits itself the hardest. NB: Short-run, extremely ad-hoc. 1/n
