he's arrested a leading human rights activist one of the chief figures in the country's uprising it happened just days before his interview with julian assange airs on r t can watch the controversial show here on tuesday. thanks we talked to dimitri video eight sums up the country's economic achievements over the past four years the interview took place shortly before today's inauguration. to me the misery that 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 carded our core which presidential aide to dimitri 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 or 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 and sufficient for this illusion of global social and development issues and to the part of the world is an open economy is also on the stress but first the russian economy still growing decent rate of about four percent per annum and resource and experience already in fighting crisis and fighting assertion you know what to do because this instruments. approach. the face. you for global depression

will really start. you sound quite optimistic about russia's capability of being to deal with any further challenges what do you think the main challenges for like him or putin will be. the main challenge is to continue and there is speculation in modernization of the russian economy. where you have 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 him. to achieve our goal to stabilise relations last year we need to continue. in the same place same with the same policies otherwise growth rates will go down and we will not be able to do so for

long term issues also we'll have to reform health sector education sector. pension system 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 journey of any president including for him which is how fast specifically do you think russia needs to grow to compete as a 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 well 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 line reducing inflation is the task of russian central bank in the garment and. boss when you put in when he he or the president last tournament present video if you nonce that inflation 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 to be lower than last year while probably higher during the first quarter of this year given the expected increase in tariffs being completed 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 presidency. our feet the target the budget deficit will become under control because resources because instruments 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 relies 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 are in the industry is not related to or income went after so. start that. nobody can argue against against that but oil prices. global market high and this is why the share the nominal share or 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 different sectors because experience will face an agriculture in logistics in the financial sector. hi tech industries eighty.

three recovered fully from from the crisis in the russian car market to know the biggest in europe for arm of the musicians start didn't fail we are on track. to continue this process need to focus on those things that we. in the past to continue the same policies and structures in the priority sector so the question 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 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 put forth by the by present. and. all business investors. and before that. for any.

change in the policy stance in the lead up to the election especially 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 i'm going to market economics to be. a fulfillment of all social commitments the. friends the russian digitalisation but to preserve stability we need we need change it's like a bicycle you need to move to preserve stability that you're going to approach in russia was 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 we don't need any capital controls. if people. take money brought that means that investment climate to russia is not good enough and we need to improve investment climate rather than destroy what you 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 going to our goods 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 be. many countries have concerns about some of the u.s.

policies in the u.s. level of. public debt is e.p.o. . for for the global and. u.s. government president obama almost that they need to sort of date the budget there's a need to keep finance asunder under control. the same time the new tool. rolls it's a different dynamic that they face it's a difficult one but. they'll look within the g twenty and g eight. shows that they will be able to do that and we will. continue. obviously united states. security but also economy i didn't last four years major u.s. companies started to do business in russia invest in russia and that's opposed it.

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 this 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 a systemic problem in the russian and first time of the russian history. and here he is today. just the fight corruption was created. first time and again you have. to fight corruption interest to using just a just solution more and more people are punished. is corruption. and more and more people put in prison because of the corruption they are guilty
