Event information

   Following a well established tradition, the AEB is pleased to announce its next World Bank briefing based on the World Bank’s “Russia Economic Report #22”.

 
   Amid heightened global uncertainties, Russia is experiencing a bumpy recovery. Domestic demand is rising, but unemployment remains high, and credit and investment remain limited. The budget has benefited from higher oil prices, but fiscal consolidation remains important in the medium term. Crumbling infrastructure, especially in transport, could hamper the economy’s competitiveness and longer-term growth prospects. The debt crisis in Western Europe sharpens the downside risks to global recovery and oil prices. But the effects on Russia are likely to be blunted by its stronger fiscal and debt positions and by limited trade and financial links with the affected countries. Russia is likely to grow by 4.5 percent in 2010, followed by 4.8 percent in 2011, as domestic demand expands in line with gradual improvements in the labor and credit markets. Employment is expected to improve gradually, however, enabling some further reductions in poverty.

 

   You will have the privilege to get the comments based on this report from Mr. Pedro Alba, World Bank Country Director for Russia, Mr. Karlis Smits, Country Economist for Russia, and Mr. Sergey Ulatov, Country Economist for Russia.

 

   The briefing will take place in the conference hall of the British Embassy (Smolenskaya nab. 10) on Thursday, July 8th, 2010 from 11:30 – 13:00 (registration from 11:00).

                                                                                                                   

The working language is English. Interpretation into Russian will not be provided.
