12:32 pm
very well that we deserve credit for russia actually being able to withstand a very severe financial crisis from several years ago we're talking about the stabilization fund that if you develop into other measures but here we see a new wave of problems in the world economy probably another global crisis around the corner. cannot. using the same methods or do the methods have to change. so the new wave is not just called a crisis there are some other stations of a crisis a harbinger or however most economists around trying to think there will not be a new recession but similar rates of development for a lengthy period of several years or perhaps even decades this will certainly have an impact on russia's demand for all goods. at the same time we're expecting higher growth rates and as western experts predict two growth rates of growth three to four percent is not. a real not expecting
12:33 pm
a fall in the economy like it was in two thousand and nine when the g.d.p. literally fell by five point nine percent. there is an all pessimistic scenario with all but most analysts tend to think i won't be a second wave of such a scheme. these conditions we still have to remain vigilant and must be ready and of the worst honor. you know to apply the same methods we still have considerable reserves although smaller but as a whole and off like we needed last time. if this does not last too long we'll be able to resolve the problem and get out of the crisis should have been longer than necessary we have to adjust our policy so far all is not been. we have elections coming up in said we're going to stay in the government if we forums are carried out what were you talking about and what we fourth when we expect it will maybe where the becomes the next prime minister. that was good i'd like to say my future is not yet known i said i was ready to work in any capacity if it helps
12:34 pm
promote the reforms are quite different are not only in government concerning reforms it's first and foremost about restructuring ranging from the pension system privatization expanding competition in our economy regulating the tariffs on liberalization of quite a number of industries where the state still prevails and price regulation the reform of housing and community services has not yet been completed a sector affects literally every citizen and then is not to be done yet it's also about giving more independent power to the regions the financial sector needs more transparency in stability as well as more monitoring of private to posits. such reforms need to be carried out pension reform as i mentioned is a priority in some cases we spend too much of public money without proper effect in health care and education where higher standards are required and the money spent should be probably commensurate with a policy expected we may not always do this properly all these sectors and so more
12:35 pm
benefits be a better education a medical treatment or providing better services as a result of such reforms consequently it's necessary that the need for such new services does not mean more taxes should be proper a balance. let's talk about the debt crisis that it bears economists face now russia keeps a big part of its savings bonds but nevertheless russia has reportedly cut in half if they're recommending the u.s. treasury bonds are there concerns that the u.s. mike and nails that. you know we've checked this information that appeared in the press that's not complete and accurate it was based on the questioning of several market players as of now we are not decreasing our exposure to u.s. securities around forty five percent of all reserves are kept and those obligations
12:36 pm
you have spawns at the moment are the most secure in the markets and we're not afraid from the rest of the. u.s. their prices may fluctuate but there are normally risks in investing in u.s. debt or enough of those papers on the markets they have high market liquidity and they are sure of the capability of the u.s. to pay for its obligations in years to come so we're not worried i think if the u.s. government take steps to consolidate its budget and cut spending and instability would rise and we would have no concerns over the reliability of dollar assets so of course we are waiting on the u.s. government to take such steps so they can raise taxes or cut spending but over the years we would like to see the u.s. deficit shrink over several years because of the debt crisis is threatening italy spain portugal do you think europe will be able to withstand a severe financial crisis without letting the eurozone collapse and in what way
12:37 pm
could a careful dell thought of europe back to russia. years of. european powers have enough resources to save greece and so we are hoping they will shoulder will to do that and by that stop the spread of this contagion on the last these risks remain we've just. that is here at the g. twenty summit another meeting of the i.m.f. board of governors on have called on you are they and partners to take all necessary measures i think this is just what will happen because they come do it at the same time that the debt crisis to spread it does not affect us too much at least directly because our banks do not hold any of the greek debt french and german banks on the other hand will suffer greatly because they will have qualms on their homes that would not be cleared this will cause problems within these banks problems with these winds credits and overall problems on these markets because banks are after all the leading players on this in turn may affect growth and this
12:38 pm
could have circumstance and effects on us but i would like to stress that we will respond just like during the latest crisis but this time the crisis will have a much smaller effect of missions just recently there were heated debates in the media about the possibility that the world's leading the emerging economies the brics nations that is brazil russia india china south africa could throw a lifeline to europe by possibly buying their debt by russia or already has forty five percent of its reserves in euro denominated assets can it actually afford buying more of europe's. would go to. the reserves are slowly growing we're buying something in addition all the time but in this case we're not going to buy bonds of risky countries mostly we're going to invest in the bonds of the european union the european financial stability facility therefore all money could comment support to the ground tease for the euro zone and in this case
12:39 pm
we're not taking the risk on the bar countries because we invest in the euro zone countries as a whole this mechanism will allow us to mobilize all resorts as we are ready to participate basically it's a non-argument of our investment instruments and it's quite secure we're also ready to provide. additional resources from the i.m.f. and through the i.m.f. help of supporting those countries so we can provide resources through the multilateral instruments the i.m.f. or the european financial stability facility it's profitable for us and soon first one of our finances. i was listening to robert zoellick says recently the head of the water bank and he was there was talking about how the world must change especially about the park with the attitude that it is the colonies towards emerging economies and this is how it put it i want to break this to you is said when countries with large physical deficits preach let's call this a plan for the poor countries what are they really saying or what i say not what i
12:40 pm
do when countries pay homage to free trade and hold back the vela ping countries with barriers what are they really say what i say not what i do they do what i say not what i do world will fracture to the detriment of the old ways can and must change do you think that is the approach that lead to the country to the crisis that it bears that on its face there that threatens to affect everyone else. and we western countries are vital has become so modern treated as a huge consumption on little investments and savings have provoked this crisis at this point most western countries are not ready to reduce their consumption and preserve the pre-crisis development passion this does not left america from crisis on their consumption is not substantiated really canonical is all this consumption is pulling them into debt so western countries have this issue and they're trying to resolve it by printing money which only delays the solution we can't predict
12:41 pm
will be economic point of view if the printing of money and supporting an artificial demand will help kick start the engine of the western economy so far this is not yet happened after all what the federal reserve system must on no we can see the situation has become worse with those measures of not being. not yet and one can expect the printing of money will resume i repeat this model of economic development is not perfect and it's the emerging markets and china russia and even brazil as well as a number of other countries with golden currency reserves that lend money this on just trying to be changed it's this pattern that led to the crisis as a matter of fact. while everyone knows that russia's economy is very much dependent on oil prices and use a good spec it or prices will drop to sixty dollars a barrel in three to four years from now to be able to withstand such a down in oil prices it was. news and. we expect those fall
12:42 pm
will certainly cause a decrease in our economic growth down to nearly zero or below zero but in terms of the budget policy we'll be able to cope with this within a year after which we have to adjust the policy and reduce expenditure. as a whole however we are ready to provide stability for a year or two and fulfill our duties which. thank you very much for your time. thank you. this is a city. of about one hundred ninety thousand people and we had thousand people working. for drought depended on.

12:53 pm
their best it's the substitutions came off including myself we managed to show that we can keep up with the peace but russia were undoubtedly outclassed by a very good irish side but there are a number of positives but they can take out of the game most notably in a scrum or this was an area where they were found wanting against italy but fast forward five days and they more than held their own it's a very very strong irish pack. the way we've played really surprised me he did pushes back in some of the scrums it was a held a ground at times and it yielded results including one try us graham's will called united we held firm as one man of us is still a massive learning curve for the russians but remember this is a bear's first ever world cup but they played some fantastic rugby with the ball in hand there are more but justifying their place with the best from around the globe i hope we're proving our class with each game we play it's all for us world cup after all and more experienced teams have lost by similar score to the one we did
