Meeting with Trade and Industry Minister Viktor Khristenko

"One of our primary tasks today is to maintain demand, because we won't resolve all the issues with financial infusions, guarantees, debt restructuring or other financial support if there's no demand. This issue depends not only on the Government but on the state of our national and global economies as well. But measures to maintain demand should be planned and gradually implemented."
