companies both foreign and domestic the theme of the forum was set during the prime minister putin skits address on the challenges of modernization and improving the investment climate the highlights of his message was that russia often photo ground for investors both big and small but she's going to make a copy of the russian economy still not spoiled by the attention of investors neither foreign nor local ones the russian business climate is strange to have problems sometimes these claims are justified sometimes not we know our problems really well and we will solve them the key factor for the russian government will be a measured and rather conservative macroeconomic policy. the optimism about the prospects for the economy was shared by a number of delegates among them with sam allen c.e.o. of heavy engineering jobs. just already about a hundred twenty million so far and some of the silicon are the first facility without really having. done that because the tension here the next thirty

exchange market i.e. the ruble dollar and the ruble euro relations is stable enough and i'd say the fluctuation that we're seeing now is quite logical and is mainly tied to the actions of the market players and traders but i can say that today the ruble is the most stable it can be and there are no reasons why the behavior of investors and holders of ruble currency should change macroeconomic conditions are quite stable the oil price is also quite stable the gold and foreign currency reserves are increasing and are quite sufficient to provide a stable exchange value of the ruble that while sector is well represented at the sort of investment forum they had overall smith spoke exclusively to r.t. . we've reached a consensus with our main creditors spirit in going co they downsize their annual interest from twelve percent to eight and i expect there not tobe or will start working with the new rates that will free up a lot of money up to two hundred million dollars this money will be used to license

agreements still development capital investment and buying new assets that will help the company to improve its output and to stabilize its financial condition. let's take a look at the russian markets the r.t.s. and the mice it's been mixed at the close they are to us was trading much like in the black in my six finished down point nine percent so as of course it's good what down two percent of russia's biggest producer released its profits of one hundred five million dollars that's down more than thirty percent from the same time last year. it was a quite a week for the markets but they still managed to trade slightly high and i see metropole senior analyst gave us his views so this week we saw a combination of profit taking on the other hand with sore investors continuing to going into the market and investors starting to catch up to the new markets around the data we store strong data out of the united states namely industrial production

came slightly above expectations because of the russian market at least weak it actually took clues from the global markets performance and moved up also but very slightly on one specific factors that affect the russian market this week where there with the ruble which was quite significant and came somewhat unexpected i think it's a temporary situation and i think we're going to see a ruble strengthening gaining taking back some of their losses. that's all from the business team for now get more new small website dot com slash business.
