Russia Stock Market Will Go Up

By Mike Swanson

The Russia economy is growing and this is one of the biggest news stories considering the current economic climate in which we find ourselves. There are many who are convinced that the global recession is worse than the Great Depression and that this could go on for years to come. This is all speculation though and no-one seems to be sure, but it worries stock market beginners. What is certain though is that times are very tough indeed.

This country is still often seen to be one of mystery given that it was cloaked from the world view for a long time during the years of Communism. When the Berlin wall fell in 1989 it was clear that the world had changed dramatically.

This change meant that the country was suddenly thrown into the international economy and at first it must be said that it did not do too well at all. While this was of course a failing for the country itself, it was also a poor reflection on the western economists that had provided advice to the Russian government. Hindsight suggested that Russia should have taken the same path as China.

While it is too late to change this now, it would seem that the Russian economy has bounced back and it is one of the few in the world at the moment that is actually growing. A lot of this is put down to the mineral wealth of the county and the fact that it is also focused on diversifying its economy.

It is always best to ensure that you do not rely only on one economic activity and this is the main reason for the government's actions.

If they are going to continue with this type of policy then one would expect that the situation where the Russia economy is growing is not going to change. - 23199
