10:33 pm
a lot of the way that the fundamentals of a particular economy are two things that make them believe that this commitment is really effective one one thing courage is very important is the way our previous commitments of the g twenty leaders. have been met one with example is a commitment to refrain from protectionism we could see much war station in the world without that commitment taken back. in washington the first summit of the leaders. all can this introduce some protective measures but without the commitment to refrain from major form of protection we could see where it is that could divide the world altogether and the second thing is a petition political commitment to leaders implies that breaking that commitment. to education under these leaders do not want to see. you say
10:34 pm
a quote you know actual policy of printing money can increase the risks of money markets especially emerging markets to to to be near to the to be risky and current meanwhile the u.s. keeps pumping and pumping billions of dollars of printed dollars into its economy does not contradict the g twenty decision what about their reputation have a banner. from what i know are from what i know from our finance minister and central bank they are from an informed by i. here's a mystery sion by phil treasury and until it is your for him about what he says about him mounts of four new ones being can each should and this allows them to to make steps to alleviate pressure on the market in this what is really important any garment in central bank store in the right to conduct policy is. that
10:35 pm
they believe or are needed for the national economy but what is important for us is to know what they're going to do and to react. to excessive for motion on. reaction construct real magically. making. lower and this is what leaders agreed on they agreed that the finance ministers and central bank are governors will meet frequently will discuss those things will consult each other really develop a set of irons indicators that will help them do it work major imbalances well that brings us back to your correction when answering the first question so so so. as as far as national governments are informed of what's going on even in the united states to bring to bring jobs as far as far it's a competitive you feel more or less safe about it yeah you feel safer.
10:36 pm
there's nothing absolute in this war we still say for intuit is important. is. that we also know what the plans are. other boris's like fiscal policy was commitment to making toronto to reduce budget deficit by two fault in see it a four year period if all countries feel the need for this commitment then disks will be substantially lower. the russian national news agency really noticed your rights i quote south korea proposed in the idea of creating a global net of financial security is it true does russia support it tell us more about it is that one of the original ideas of the korean president. to create. a global financial safety net and the financial safety net so include both global
10:37 pm
instruments governed by the international mind the front and to other international financial organizations and to such instruments were developed. before the summit in seoul into or approved by leaders instruments that create much more flexible conditions for countries that found themselves in problematic station to request global health plans and you see this help without breaking preposition altogether in the second component of the regional. apart regional areas. were your direct neighbors will help your local finance i your civilization programs in feel share. with other countries and will you because those two parts will continue to the new system is not the bretton woods two yet we are not there yet but it's one of the ends of the future and new future global mindtree system
10:38 pm
speaking right risks many experts today speak about the risks of the cheap dollar and cheap you wind for russian economy is there a risk that the ruble will start becoming too strong. well be there for. inexperience already you're overweight it will. in the way of ruble was higher than supposed by from the mental you to. and capital inflows that hurt before the crisis and creates risks for for the real economy what is important is that the rate of appreciation of the national currency is not higher than the rate of increase in efficiency of labor productivity and energy efficiency and other efficiency
10:39 pm
indicators we believe that at least at this point in time the medium term perspective. would potential to increase efficiency even faster than the rate of increase in the real value of robel and this will keep us on the safe side and will not expedient thing in negative and second so for. a dollar or declares that's very very interesting to hear that from me because this is i think the first time in my lifetime that i hear from a person like you if the government to to to be betting on increasing efficiency of they've got to be not on the all price in something else this is interesting well the only think we can bet on right now there is no no way we should rely exclusively on our community exports and global prices prices are all tile and we. experienced during the crisis when both physical demand and prices went down in

10:41 pm
by robert zoellick the president of the of the world bank is always the exact. reference to what the present video said two years ago one of the summits one of the twenty summits that we are advocating expanding the basket of for reserve currencies. and we should also think about the role of walt as one of the ways in. fact that we should means russia is a supporter of the russia russia is a supporter of the sadia it's still to be discussed what exactly their old world could be. we are far from the. suggestion that the goal should become a new standard to move again to the gold standard. risks involved in such a scenario. even greater than than the current station but we could see
10:42 pm
a greater role of new regional here of course is in gold in the new mine to the system and this subject is going to be caused by both experts finance minister central bank governance and leaders who are getting the french presidency a conference french presidency in two thousand to have an says aide to the russian president at one point the spotlight will be back shortly we'll continue this interview in less than a minute after a break so stay with us don't go. seventy six hours of intense fighting. six thousand desert of beach front wheel several kilometers long. and now there is only one person who cares.

10:52 pm
