Prime Minister Vladimir Putin holds a meeting on the Investment Fund of the Russian Federation
“The Investment Fund’s methods proved their efficiency in a challenging economic situation. In this regard, I would like to stress that all the projects that were launched with the assistance of the Investment Fund and that are properly financed by private businesses will be carried out. The government will carry out its obligations”.
“All in all, we managed to build over 3,000 kilometers of federal and regional roads in 2009, which is 30% more than in the prosperous year of 2008. This includes the Sochi bypass, a very large project, which was finished and opened for traffic. The road will substantially improve the environmental and transport situation in the region… However, today we need to speak more about problems in this area, rather than about our achievements.”
