IMF: Economy to rebound next year after 6% drop in 2009

摘要

The Russian economy will grow by 0.5% next year after contracting by as much as 6%, said the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF holds a much more bearish view of the Russian economy than the World Bank which expects a 4.5% drop, and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) which predicted a 5.6% decline.
