the recession would go even deeper going faster. and staying on the subject of the economy also he spoke to russia's finance minister aleksei could ring to discuss the country's plans for weathering future financial storms. and always say advance the commies are about to plunge into another recession the debt crisis in europe is threatening to involve more countries it's not clear how the u.s. is going to pay off their gigantic debt analysts give a pretty grim picture of what's coming to find out how russia plans to deal with these developments in the world economy i'm joined by russia's finance minister. thank you very much for joining me out of sitting at a beach hello prime minister vladimir putin said russia has sustained the head of the crisis and that in fact the level of unemployment in russia now is lower than it had been before the crisis we know very well that we deserve credit for russia
10:32 pm
actually being able to withstand a very severe financial crisis from several years ago we are talking about the stabilization fund that if you developed it and other measures but here we see a new wave of problems in the world economy probably another global crisis around the corner. cannot russia withstand it using the same methods or do the methods have to change. the new wave is not yet called a crisis there are some of the stations of a crisis or a harbinger or however most economists are trying to think there will not be a new recession but slower rates of development for a lengthy period of several years or perhaps even decades this will certainly have an impact on the demand for all goods and. at the same time we are expecting higher growth rates in russia as western experts predict to growth rate of about three to four percent is not bombs and we are not expecting a fall in the economy like it was in two thousand and nine hundred. five point nine
10:33 pm
percent. there is a more pessimistic scenario most analysts tend to think i won't be a second wave of such as. under these conditions we still have to remain vigilant and must be ready in case of the worst tomorrow. you know to apply the same methods we still have considerable reserves although smaller but as a whole an 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 it be longer than necessary we'd have to adjust our policy so far all has not been. we have elections coming up in russia and you said we're going to stay in the government if we forums are carried out what reforms are you talking about and what we forms can we expect if to mitigate with it it becomes the next prime minister. should. i'd like to say my future is not yet known i said i was ready to work in any capacity if it helps promoting reforms those can be quite different and not
10:34 pm
only on 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 liberalisation of quite a number of industries where the state still prevails and price regulation the reform of housing and communal services has not yet been completed this sector affects literally every citizen and there is much to be done yet it's also about giving more independent power to the regions the financial sector needs more transparency and stability as well as more monitoring of private deposits. 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 properly commensurate with the quality expected we may not always do this properly all these sectors such as more benefits be a better education
10:35 pm
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 there should be proper balance. let's talk about the debt crisis that advanced economies face now russia keeps a big part of it saving bonds but nevertheless russia has what portably cut in half its investment in the u.s. treasury bonds are there concerns that the u.s. might announce the pot odds that. you know we've checked is information that appeared in the press that's not complete and accurate. 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 our reserves are kept in those obligations u.s. bonds at the moment are the most secure in the markets and we're not afraid to invest
10:36 pm
in them yes their prices may fluctuate but there are no big risks in investing in u.s. debt there are enough of those papers on the markets they have high market liquidity and we 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 of the u.s. government take steps to consolidate its budget and cut spending then it stability 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 could raise taxes or cut spending but over the years we would like to see the u.s. deficit shrink over several years. the debt crisis in europe is threatening italy spain portugal do you think europe will be able to withstand the severe financial crisis without letting the eurozone collapse and in what way could a pencil downfall of your affect russia. european
10:37 pm
powers have enough resources to save greece and so we're hoping they will show the will to do that and by that stop the spread of this contagion nonetheless these risks remain we've discussed this here at the g. twenty summits and i thought meeting of the i.m.f. board of governors and we have called on european partners to take all necessary measures i think this is just what will happen because they come do it at the same time if the debt crisis does 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 fines credit some overall problems on these markets because banks are after all the leading players on this in turn may affect growth and this could have circumstantial 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
10:38 pm
a much smaller effect. she has just recently their work he did debate in the media about the possibility that the world's leading the merging economies the brics nations that is brazil russia india china south africa could throw a lifeline to europe by possibly buying their debt bonds russia are already has forty five percent of its reserves in euro dominated assets can it actually afford buying more of europe's debt bonds. or 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 come and support to the counties for the euro zone and in this case we are not taking the risk on the bar countries because we invest in the
10:39 pm
euro zone countries as a whole this mechanism will allow us to mobilize our resources we are ready to participate basically it's an enlargement of our investment instruments and it's quite secure we are also ready to provide additional resources for the i.m.f. and through the i.m.f. hope in 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 it seemed vast amounts of our finances. i was listening to robert alex speech recently the head of the world bank and he was he was talking about how the world must change especially about the hypocrisy in the attitude of it is the commies towards emerging economies and this is how it put it i want to read this to you he said when countries with large fiscal deficits preach let's call this a plane to the poor countries what are they really saying do what i say not what i do when countries pay home which to free trade and hold back the bella ping
10:40 pm
countries with barriers what are they really say the 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 led to the country to the crisis that advanced economies face now that threatens to affect everyone else . the way western countries have acted has become somewhat outdated has huge consumption and 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 to. well upon padron this does not lead to marriage from crisis on their consumption is not substantiated really cannot make results because consumption is pulling them into debt so western countries have this issue and they are trying to resolve it by printing money which only delays the solution we can't yet predict will be economic point of view if this printing of money and supporting
10:41 pm
of 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 now we can see the situation has become worse as those measures have not been enough 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 in china russia and even brazil as well as a number of other countries with gold and currency reserves that lend money this on just patterns will 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 you said the expected or prices will drop to sixty dollars a barrel in three to four years from now to be able withstand such a battle in oil prices. we expect this fall will certainly cause
10:42 pm
a decrease in our economic growth down to nearly zero or below zero but in terms of the budget policy it will 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 all our duties. thank you very much. thank you. for sure is that so much really. we need to get a lot of people a period but what good is it time to rethink capitalism as we know it today should the world still rely on markets to generate wealth when the rich only get richer and. wealthy british style it's time to cut.
