During his address to the annual Congress of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, the leader noted the active and creative position of the union, which is especially in demand now.
"It is always in demand, of course, but now, due to well-known circumstances, especially when the Russian economy is acquiring a fundamentally different quality, it is starting to develop according to a new model, which was recently mentioned in the message to the Federal Assembly," Putin said.
What's more, inflation in Russia by the end of March will be lower than in European countries, which are waiting for the collapse in the Russian economy, Putin noted.
A decline in the Russian economy in the summer of 2022 was connected to sanctions against Moscow, the president said, noting that the Russian economy has been growing since July 2022.
