UPDATE: Putin: Cause For "Cautious Optimism" On Russian Econ
By Ira Iosebashvili Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES MOSCOW -(Dow Jones)- Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Monday that anti-crisis measures will continue in the country, although there is room for "cautious optimism" on its economy.
The government will continue stimulating domestic growth and supporting the stability of the Russian economy, Putin said, at a meeting of the Foreign Investment Advisory Council. The body is chaired by the prime minister and was established in 1994 to facilitate cooperation between businesses and the government.
Officials have previously said the Russian economy has grown slightly in recent months, although an indicator for the country's manufacturing industry showed a contraction in October for the first time this year.
The country's economy is likely to contract by 8.5% this year, officials have said.
