Interview with the Economist
Foreigner: How did your economy fare last year?
Russian: Last year was one of the best for Russia. GDP grew at a reasonable pace, then we harvested a record crop.
F.: I think it was due to very favourable weather conditions. What factors resulted in it in your opinion?
R.: Undoubtedly, the weather conditions affected the crop. But I think that investment and reforms in agriculture started to pay back.
F.: And how do you assess the manufacturing sector, your industry?
R.: Industrial production went up in some branches, though the real sector still needs more investment if we want it to develop faster.
F.: If you want foreigners to invest you must give them guarantees of law and order in the country, create a more favourable business climate.
R.: I can’t agree more. Last year a lot of laws were passed to this effect. Suffice it to mention our tax system, it was simplified.
F.: I see. Considerable progress was made in your country last year. Besides, as far as I know the living standards improved.
R.: Yes, pensions were increased, salaries of state employees were raised too. Demand for consumer goods increased.
