Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed concerns about industrial growth and the investment flow going downhill, interest rate above inflation, competition in the country and ordered economy to be stabilized as it was before the recession.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said that post-crisis economic restoration had not stabilized. He noted that 5% economic growth a year was an ambitious, but an impossible goal.
The PM called the following 5 years critically important. They will see new technological and social alliances and priorities, economic and currency configurations.
Medvedev pointed out the internal risks as the primary ones. They include reduction of employable population, low administration efficiency, investment climate far from perfect, dropping consumer rate and need for budget consolidation. He believes that Russia managed to overcome the global economic recession.
