Putin: Russian Economy Growing Again After Deep Recession


Russian President Vladimir Putin says the Russian economy is growing again after a deep recession.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is upbeat about the Russian economy, which he says has returned to growth after a deep recession, as well as prospects for relations with a new U.S. president next year.
Putin said he "regrets" that U.S. presidential candidates use "the Russian card" in every election, leveling sometimes harsh charges that are "absolutely counterproductive." 
But "we will judge by the deeds, not words of the new United States president, and will seek ways to normalize ties and advance our cooperation," he told reporters in St. Petersburg on June 17.
On the economy, Putin said, "we expected a slight economic decline by the end of this year, but now we are seeing growth." 
Growth of about 0.5 percent recently has been fueled by 0.6 percent growth in Russian processing industries and 2.2 percent growth in agriculture, he noted.
