producer saudi arabia provided only eight new quarter million barrels per day in recent months russian oil output rose by a total of two percent throughout the year far outstripping analysts forecasts. and mergers and acquisitions were among the top drivers last year with russian tourists market catching investors eyes european tour giant thomas cook took control of russia's oldest vacation business interest the forty five million dollars deal gives the european firm fifty percent of an iconic brand with a large retail chain as well as getting an option over the remainder of russians aren't as big holiday spenders their joint operation with will help thomas cook capitalize on russian demand for beach breaks and diversify away from saturated european markets. let's take a look at the markets. in russia the markets are close to the tenth of january for the russian new year holiday break but let's take

productivity in russia is several times lower than in many western countries it makes up for the lack of technical efficiency with a large number of off low paid workers it's a legacy of the soviet era just as the poor logistics and pockets of bad management w.c.l. membership will provide extra incentive for this to change in the major this mean unemployment rate simply because people with business maybe even structural unemployment so people will have to. go to start thinking just to get a new profession or to getting you told by a speciality. that they will be able to go to the new economy and after that new fresh new calling it pulls itself competitive in the station and innovation themselves to be properly planted told to rush into russian soil and actually the russian economy will benefit as a whole different economy the reason one group of russians that will almost
