IMF calls for Russian sanctions to be lifted

 

IMF calls for Russian sanctions to be lifted An official part of the annual meeting of the IMF and the World Bank has ended in Washington. The experts of the fund made ​​a recommendation to the West and Russia to lift the sanctions imposed against each other in 2013. In an interview with Vestnik Kavkaza, the director general of the Center for Political Information, Alexei Mukhin, said that the parties should take the advice of the IMF seriously. "Sooner or later, the sanctions will be lifted. Judging by the state of the global economy, experts have come to the conclusion that it is better to do so sooner rather than later.""I do not think that the United States wants to destroy some platforms in the economies of the European Union and Russia in order to gain a significant competitive advantage. Apparently, they only want to weaken them, and the United States has achieved this goal," Mukhin said.The deputy director of IMEMO, Alexei Kuznetsov, said that the sanctions had had the opposite effect after Russia introduced sanctions against the West."The economic impact [of the sanctions] is harmful for all sides. This slows down the economic growth in Europe, which is already very low," the expert said.
