Shuvalov: Russian government to face hard months

The current government of Russia will face hard times in the coming months, until a new Cabinet will be formed after the inauguration of the elected president, Russia's First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov said at the '100 Steps Towards Favorable Investment Climate' annual conference.

"During these months, we must do everything most important, which is not yet fulfilled in the road maps [to improve the business climate]," TASS cited him as saying.

According to him, in parallel with the current activities, the government needs to prepare plans for a new cabinet to improve the investment climate in Russia and provide conditions that are convenient for business development.
