from the same materials which of the beer bottle made from the potential of the cost reduction in this sector of electronic industry is. at the start of. existence you talked about a three billion euro hundred ninety billion rouble a year industry at least you said can we now start to raise that estimate we will be successes at the start currently would do you have the final target the final key which is the thirty billion euro none of their production in russia. and you don't want to be done different than they would be the roubles and what did we achieve by now from the moment you just mentioned i know we already have more than ninety projects in total investment in this project which will be made by me is more than four billion dollar and what is it especially in board in there is that

we was able to attract some six billion dollars of private investment together in a line with the for personal investment that's something which proves that we are not just spending money for nothing because partner postponed their own money and even with a big. when will russia produce a startup as famous as google or install it takes minimal three five seven or ten years to develop a company from the go like hewlett packard or microsoft two of the world famous businesses i believe that we're already a lot on the garish the age but we're not yet on the stage of facebook and google you said forty million russians think you are a thief why do they think that and does it upset you. well that's that's a long story i believe that much more than you just mentioned and the reason is very simple if we come back to the privatization history of the reason is that.

decision is russia you know russia wasn't fair it was not fair. but it was something which was needed to the country and if ever. unfortunately common the situation when they have to do it again i will do this. russia's ministry of finance has effectively banned the national reserve fund from buying the boards of irish or spanish governments investors steering clear of the bones of both countries which bailed out their troubled banking sector on thursday irish want to jump to the highest in the euro zone's history about seven point two percent. the federal reserve us to pump six hundred billion dollars into the u.s. spot of a fresh stimulus package to boost the country's economy this amounts to seventy five billion dollars a month in a second round of quantitative easing the u.s. central bank will purchase long term goals bourne's by printing the lives of dollars federal reserve's decision pushed here to its highest levels to the dollar

since january the old world has taken a different strategy he grew up in central bank left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at a record low bank chief. says the underlying momentum of the government's positive . the world bank has cut its forecast to russia's g.d.p. growth for the next three years the banks say russia has achieved a modest recovery there are fears of a further slowdown my colleague charlotte last fall i asked the world bank's chief economist for russia shall get it apart the key drivers for the country's economy. i think what is actually happening in the past few months is that investment has been back and much of the growth was actually led more by investments in the kind of a cyclical rebound of restocking of inventory but that's going to cyclical part i think the good news is that we also see consumption gathering steam and. reflects

basically fundamental factors driving consumption such is the fact that. real incomes are growing again for the crisis and employment is lower than. they feared certainly and then in many other western countries and remember russian consumer is not particularly indebted compared to many western countries so there is a lot more credit rating that can be taken on by the russian consumer i think that all these factors are going to continue. providing the winch in the sale of the russian consumption and growth in the next six to twelve months so we expect to grow this year to be about four point two percent and then solidified next year to about four and a half percent largely driven by gains in consumption. let's have a look at some numbers u.s. stocks are sharply higher despite bigger than expected rise in jobless claims as investors reacted positively to the federal reserve's latest efforts to prop up the sucking economy. that we got to europe european stock markets versus significant

gains on thursday rallying on the federal reserve announcement banks and miners were taking the lead the thoughts of jumped almost two percent shares. up six percent after posting results high against the dollar after the european central bank left its banks. then changed its story as a record low to try to stimulate the economy. and here in russia the market saw yet to react to the new us to melissa package just their closed for two days of national holidays the bourses finished makes that the end of wednesday's session with investors wary of making any big moves most of the main players were down on the r.t.s. except for bank which closed point five percent higher. that's your business update for now but you can always get more stories for web site r.t. dot com slash business.
