The Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation in the course of the report before the State Duma deputies gave a description of the Russian economy. The comment was extremely positive.

"Today, our economy is much less dependent on external conditions. It is much more modern and competitive. It can develop steadily even at relatively low oil prices. In general, for six years, the gross domestic product grew by 5%. And even for the two most severe crisis years, the aggregate losses of the gross domestic product did not exceed 3%. This is much less than the losses that were in the previous round of the crisis, "Medvedev said..

Recall, just yesterday after the next US sanctions, the euro and dollar rate increased by more than 10 rubles.
