According to Prime Minister Putin, the Bank for Development (Vnesheconombank) played a critical role in implementing the government’s anti-recessionary plan for 2009 by providing emergency aid to the banking sector, the stock market and strategic companies in several sectors of the economy. The Prime Minister added that Vnesheconombank has also assisted borrowers by offering them loans at affordable interest rates and rescheduling debts, all while adhering to the long-term strategy for Russia’s economic development.
