CORRECTED-Putin says Russia will post budget surplus this year, GDP to decline 'around 2%'
(Corrects to say 0.5 trillion roubles, not 1.5 trillion roubles in 2nd paragraph)
VLADIVOSTOK, Russia, Sept 7 (Reuters) - Russia will post a budget surplus this year, President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday, as the Russian economy is on track to post a small contraction for the year.
Speaking at an economic forum in Vladivostok, Putin said Russia's budget surplus would come in at 0.5 trillion roubles ($8.18 billion) in 2022, while GDP would fall by "around 2% or a little more." ($1 = 61.1500 roubles) (Reporting by Reuters; editing by Guy Faulconbridge)
