Russia’s Fiscal Policy Sets High Standards, Shows Investment Prospects - IMF
07:44 GMT 24.05.2018 (Updated: 11:32 GMT 08.06.2024) ST. PETERSBURG (Sputnik) - Russian fiscal policy, as well as several other macroeconomic standards, sets standards of excellence and indicates that Russia is a "safe haven" for investments, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund Christine Lagarde said on Thursday.
"Russia in many ways is setting the standard of excellence when it comes to macroeconomic standards. The way that you look at fiscal policy, inflation situation, the debt situation, all those levels are very much setting the standards of excellence," Lagarde said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
The IMF chief said that the Russian economy was growing by about 1.5 percent a year adding that these growth rates were lower than the ones in past.
