Putin announced the exit of the Russian economy from the post-COVID crisis Vladimir Putin

The Russian economy is recovering from the crisis caused by the CORONAVIRUS pandemic, President Vladimir Putin said at the signing ceremony of investment agreements at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). His words are quoted on the Kremlin website.

“To a large extent, thanks to you and your colleagues, RUSSIA is able to overcome the difficulties that the whole world faced over the past year, and our economy is getting out of the difficult situation in which we all found ourselves,” Putin said.

The HEAD of state noted that the current work continues, “despite any difficulties,” including the pandemic. According to Putin, he has no doubt that it will be possible not only to confidently get out of the current situation, but also to new frontiers.

In December, Putin said at his annual press conference that Russia overcame difficulties during the pandemic year “worthily and in part, perhaps better than in other countries of the world, which are rightfully proud of both the stability of their economy and the development of their social services and healthcare systems. ". He noted that Russia recorded a fall in GDP by 3.6%, which is less than "practically in all European countries, in the United States."
