Russian IT sector posts nearly $23.58 bln in profit in 2025
Russian IT companies generated nearly 1.7 trillion rubles ($23.58 billion) in profit in 2025, up 21% year-on-year, according to the government. Revenue rose 14% to 13.973 trillion rubles. Official data also shows first-quarter revenue growth of 8%, with domestic products accounting for a larger share.
Russian IT companies generated nearly 1.7 trillion rubles ($23.58 billion) in profit in 2025, according to the office of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko, as reported by the state news agency TASS. The figure represents a 21% increase year-on-year, outpacing revenue growth. Total revenue for the period rose 14% to 13.973 trillion rubles ($196.57 billion), the government said.
The data was obtained through quarterly monitoring of the IT industry conducted by the Digital Economy autonomous non-profit organization, based on information from the register of accredited IT companies. The government attributed the positive dynamics to support measures that remain in effect, including a reduced corporate profit tax rate and a reduced rate for insurance contributions.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
