as he plans to fight against. human rights activists just days before. sums up the country's economic achievements over the past four years. shortly before today's. to me that means if it is leaving the kremlin. back at the top what does this mean for russia and its global partners well joining me to discuss that is our card to our core which presidential aide to dmitri mediated for his full term in office very much thank you for being with us i'd like to begin with the economy both.

have stated that there are a lot of problems obviously on the global economy to meet their needs where that in fact he said that he believes that it's already in depression do you share this pessimism of the global economy. right now in europe in recession american growth rates will all global growth rates very close to what we can call the recession also or depression. insufficient for sustainable development in sufficient for this illusion of global social and development issues and to the part of the war is an open economy is also on the stress of the russian economy still growing could decent rate of about four percent per annum and resource and experience already in fighting crisis and fighting recession you know what to do because this instruments.

approach. the face. you for global depression really start you sound quite optimistic about russia the capability of being to deal with any further challenges what do you think the main challenges for it will be. the main challenge is to continue and there is speculation in modernization of the russian economy. where you put an image of believes that. modernization of the russian economy is a must. have to do it otherwise russian economy will be. not very compatible in the global environment other countries will be in competition and this challenge is. under stress given unstable demographic station we were able to in. chief to stabilize

relations last year we need to continue. same pace same with the same policies otherwise growth rates will go down and we will not be able to resolve our long term issues also we'll have to reform health sector education sector. pension i says jim otherwise the social protection system will be under stress also and finally completion. and protection for property rights creating a comfortable investment climate. or the top of the gender of any president could implement pushing how fast specifically do you think russia needs to grow to compete at the top five a commie depending on the growth rates in other countries or competitors from five to seven percent growth rates. sufficient to enter the top five global

economies will russia do you think under vladimir putin be capable of keeping inflation at four percent. that's what it is now you mentioned this pretty made a lot of promises during this campaign will you be able to keep that four percent and. kind of keep spending. in mind reducing inflation is the task of poses russian central bank in the garment and. most were put in when he was the president last tournament present video if you nonce that edition conflation is one of our major economic goals this is a precondition to preserve microcosms to be the chief sustainable growth rates last year inflation was about six percent this year reason place in under four percent we believe that we can achieve this target inflation will be lower than

last year while probably higher during the first quarter of this year given the expected increase in tariffs being humiliated by by the state. the important thing is to keep the budget. in balance and. all promises that were put in. made as a candidate for the president said. our feet in the target the budget deficit will be cut down the control because resources. instruments to keep poor budget. in the good shape russian that level is very low still below fifteen percent of g.d.p. so we believe that inflation will not be. put on the danger. even if all promises are going to fulfill all those promises.

all those promised to put into the budget still russia was very heavily on oil and gas exports obviously does that mean that president medvedev modernization plan has failed at least to diversify the economy during the last four years. growth rates. we thought in the industry it's not related to or the income went after so. start that. nobody can argue against against that but oil prices. global market high and this is why the share in nominal share of oil. is still very high. but what is really important is that more and more people more and more resources are being directed to into my different sectors we have experienced a little face an agriculture in logistics in the financial sector. high

tech industries from. prying three recovered fully from from the crisis in the russian car market to know the biggest in europe for the musicians start didn't fail we are on track and to continue this process need to focus on those things that we. in the past to continue the same policies and structures in appropriate to sectors of the russian can do you think those policies will continue under putin and if you have so now how would you suggest businesses maybe prepare to keep going or have you already go into that field continued under president. bush and he's all initiatives all the strategy has been discussed with him here you proved all the things the government was

a key vehicle to implement all the initiatives that you put forward by the by president need to be different and. all business investors. can be sure of that look for any. change in the policy stance in the lead up to the election especially if there was a lot of. talk about stability do you think. that also for ordinary people that this kind of pulls away from this so-called energy curse and how big of a challenge it is to really diversify the economy to be changed to be required but when the market economics to be richer in fulfillment of all social commitments. from the russian digitalisation but to preserve stability would you change if they could bicycle to move to preserve stability that you're going to approach the

russian laws about three hundred billion dollars that's approximately three fourths of its annual budget since two thousand and eight obviously when president medvedev took office it's due to capital outflow as far as i understand do you think russia should install capital controls at some bric countries have done for protection don't you think capital controls. if people. take money brought that means that the investment climate to russia is not good enough and we need to improve the investment climate rather than destroy what we already achieved and then you capital controls mean. that investment climate is going to be worse not better so we need to difference things to truck kept the records it has criticized the u.s. for its credit transfer living beyond our means. and. basically. has said that he wants to avoid any kind of you know similar steps to protect the

economy do you think that's going to actually affect practical relations in terms of the economy with the u.s. law he. has many countries have concerns about some of the u.s. policies in the u.s. level of. public debt is. for those of global. u.s. government president obama almost that they need to sort of date the budget there's a need to keep finances under control. the same time they need to. really draws its foot in. the face it's a difficult one but. in the. look within the g twenty and g. . shows that they will be able to do that. we will. continue. obviously united states. to kill security but also economy

i didn't last for years companies started to do business in russia invest in russia . that's opposed to what about corruption putin has called corruption the main plague of the russian economy. has talked about this for years businesses. and certainly people we've been talking to experts are looking forward to some kind of fight against corruption but there's been a lot of statements about it when do you think businesses and people can believe that these statements will become practical results not just statements corruption is clearly systemic current problem in the russian and first time in the russian history. and here he is today. just placed into fight corruption was created. first time and again. to fight corruption and to start using just a just place and more and more people are punished. is corruption. and

more and more people are put in prison because of the corruption they're guilty and they're punished and more and more. being done to. create. genuine negative. thought and. the corruption. and the important become decent to fight corruption accorded their courts thank you very much for saying that we are to thank you.
