President Medvedev stressed that despite signs of stabilisation, talk about the global economy's full recovery is premature. Current growth indicators show only that national economies are adapting to new conditions.
In his speech Mr Medvedev pointed out that the crisis revealed a high degree of interdependence between different domestic economies, and therefore convincingly showed the need for increased coordination of national macroeconomic policies.
Having assessed the overall global economic situation, Dmitry Medvedev devoted attention to problems associated with protectionism and the post-crisis development of financial markets.
