Putin: Sustainable growth is Russia’s economic target

MOSCOW, Oct 18 (PRIME) -- The Russian government has stabilized the economy but the goal of the current economic policy is to ensure sustainable growth, President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting of union of non-resource sector entrepreneurs Business Russia on Tuesday.

“We have now managed to stabilize the economy but our goal is broader and larger, to attain sustainable growth. In order to do this, we must find new instruments and raise the effectiveness of support measures we have launched,” Putin said.

“In this context, I suggest discussing in detail how to ensure the mechanisms of export support, to increase affordability of credit resources, to build relations between private businesses and state companies.”
