According to Dmitry Medvedev, the situation could be worse. As the president said at a meeting on economic issues, in 2010, managed to stabilize the market. So, has adversely affected the summer heat, drought and crop failures. As a result - prices for staple foods have jumped a few times. The overall situation on food market made up not the most favorable way, - Medvedev stated. However, on the background of last year, when there was almost 10% fall in GDP, 4% growth this year, gives hope for optimism, the President said. Importantly, the president said that in 2010 managed to reduce unemployment to 6.7%. "It continues to increase wages. In real terms, in fact, has already exceeded pre-crisis period. " But as for inflation, it has exceeded the expected forecast. "We did not stand those parameters that are asking themselves, including because of the events that occurred in the agricultural market. The forecast was raised to near 8.5%. In the end, as I understand, he is expected to slightly higher, "- said the president. Recall that before the summer drought, the authorities promised that inflation will not exceed 7.5%, then this figure was increased to 8%. According to the forecasts of next year, inflation will be significantly reduced to around 6.5%.
