Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said that the current situation in the economy and financial sector in Russia is not the toughest possible scenario . The corresponding statement he made in his speech to the report of the Government in the State Duma.

«Everything that happens – it’s not the toughest of the possible scenarios. Frankly 一 situation with prices, unemployment, the state of the banking system, many industries – could be much more complicated and worse, “- said Dmitry Medvedev. He recalled that in 2009, Russia has experienced a much more serious problem: while GDP fell by almost 8%, industrial production – by more than 10%.

The latest version of the macroeconomic forecast Economy Ministry until 2018 suggests that in the next year, the Russian economy will recover the investment volume of imports – the purchase of production lines, machines and vehicles on private money, as well as the growth of wages in 2017 will provide a steady increase in GDP. However, the forecast does not discuss the most important question: what will make Russian private investors to believe in the prospects of the domestic economy and to invest only in Russia.
