Baku, June 15, AZERTAC
According to the Russian president, the recession in the country's economy is over, and Russia has moved to a period of growth, TASS reports.
"You started with the main question, is the economic crisis over ? I really want to respond positively, to send out a positive message to our society. At the same time, you always think that something will suddenly happen somewhere. We must make decisions based on objective information. And it says that the recession in the Russian economy is over, and we have moved to a period of growth," said Putin.
Russia's GDP growth has been rising for three quarters in a row, modest but still quarter-on-quarter," the president said.
