He stressed that the country did not abandon the goals of entering the top 5.

“If you open the latest forecast of the International Monetary Fund for this year, you will see that this year Russia will be the fifth economy in the world to rise to this level. Therefore, from this point of view, we can say that this year it (the goal) has been achieved, ”TASS quotes Oreshkin.

According to him, the revenue base of the budget will be larger than planned.

He noted that now the task is to gain a foothold in the "five". 

Earlier, President Vladimir Putin said that the peak of problems in the economy has passed.

The chairman of the Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina has estimated the period for the economy to return to the pre-crisis level at 1.5 years.
