Gref answered the question about the possibility of default in Russia

“No,” he said, answering the question whether Russia was waiting for a default.

Earlier, the head of the Ministry of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov ruled out the possibility of a repeat of the 1998 default in Russia. He answered negatively to the corresponding question. Reshetnikov noted that in the current situation, the state needs to help entrepreneurs, "so that they still have a desire to do business and develop their business in Russia."
