Ministry of Finance forecasts unpleasant

The forum "Russia-2010", Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin has done some very interesting predictions. Thus, he stated that the Finance Ministry raised its forecast for oil prices in 2010 from 58 to 65 dollars per barrel. Moreover, according to the IMF and World Bank, the price of oil would be even higher - $ 70-80 per barrel. But, alas, it is small cause for joy, because the revenue forecast and the budget deficit while not reviewed. Consequently, the budget deficit will remain at 6.8% of GDP. At these prices for oil, according to the minister of finance, a budget deficit - this is a very large deficit. The second unpleasant phenomenon - a rise in unemployment, which in Russia will continue after the resumption of economic growth. As we know, while reducing costs and increasing productivity will be further released to the labor force. And that's where it "make" - it is not clear. Recall that according to Rosstat, unemployment in Russia by the end of 2009 decreased to 8.2%. In December, the total number of unemployed was 6.173 million people, nearly a third of them can not find a job within a year or longer.
