Prime Minister Vladimir Putin chairs a meeting on pricing and tariffs
“Today we see an upward trend in key economic indices. Russia’s GDP is expected to grow by 3.5%-4% in 2010, according to the forecast of the Ministry of Economic Development. There are even more optimistic scenarios, but we will proceed from that conservative estimate. Russian industry performed extremely well in April, posting double-digit growth, 10.4%, for the first time.”
Prime Minister Putin, President Eduard Kokoity and Prime Minister Vadim Brovtsev have discussed joint plans for South Ossetia’s economic reconstruction and social development with Russian support.
"We have to be certain that, by relying on our own resources and through playing a worthy role in the world economy, we can resolve the numerous challenges that confront us."
