“On the whole, I believe we chose the right strategy during the recession and the post-crisis period. We have supported the national economy and continued a vigorous social development policy. According to estimates, Russia’s GDP increased 3.8% in 2010 while industrial output grew 8.3%. Importantly, these encouraging trends have improved public sentiment.”
