Russian Finance Minister Kudrin: 2009 Worst Year Since World War 2

Happy new year 2009: Finance minister Kudrin promises us a deficit of the Russian state budget as huge as RUR 1.5 - 2 trillion (USD 51bn - 69bn).

"2009 will be the hardest year for Russian and global economy. It will be the worst year since the end of World War 2", Mr. Kudrin said.

Inflation will rise but the government still does not plan cuts in financing the construction of Sochi 2014 Olympic infrastructure.
