in china and they make sure that they know what their currency is going to be worth six twelve months down the road by keeping it pegged why not imitate that and we have more on the i.m.f. meeting in our business bulletin coming your way in about ten minutes time here in our city also coming up in the program expensive deals we were more of them how much it costs to be an aspirin are in georgia and. if you are in the forest you will turn into a pig. as a fork or roaming free find out she was flying to rescue a lot of these forests to have. now russia's two arctic expeditions have met in the middle of the ocean to share their breakthrough discoveries a team of scientists on board the floating workshop has been looking for evidence of russia's claim to the major part of the region's treasures and it seems they have got lucky as artistic i think and our child now reports. there is a perception that it's hard to find

a tool of economic policy can lead to very bad situations in that the i.m.f. wants to better identify how the actions of one economy affects others. so there's no domestic solution to global problem even if it is understandable that some individual contrie facing huge capital inflow wants to resist this kind of volatility and source of instability and possible bubbles so i'm not blaming downed trees. which try was one shot to limit the influence of the capital inflows but it cannot be long lasting solution what we need is more cooperation on the monetary side and national much assistance. for europe and all bank officials as we have the economic crisis back in their region because the area is home to many large young economies is going to be a long recovery for the country director for russia explains why russia

has better prospects than many other developing economies. russia went into the crisis with a very strong fiscal position and very large you know world wealth funds and had reduced its debt to g.d.p. ratios so russia is a good risk if you think about it is when you know the exact number it's the low teen percent of g.d.p. it's a debt stock public that. you did have a large private debt but you know the crisis has absorbed that at this point so there's more reassurances and the private russian companies can reach can meet their obligations so there is a lot of interest in russian financial instruments because it's a good risk compared to many other countries now the so-called currency wars has been one of the top issues for the finance ministers and heads of central banks the i.m.f. meeting experts say it threatens to undermine all the work that has been done to

economic disruption in china russia is a spectator in this war its exports of gas and oil price in dollars well the ruble tends to fall the oil price russian experts. dominated by tradable boards or tradeable manufactured goods anyway they have dominated by commodities where the relative competitive advantage of russia is there regardless of the exchange rate more or less so with this respect the absolute level of the exchange rate is of less significance to russia. true countries like china. and the. the risk for the coming year is that currency wars will slow global growth you need to meet a business r.t. . now russian market players on friday down for a second day as current m.s.f. i think fell there with nicole or carly were among the main losers and shed more
