Belousov called the "drawdown" of the Russian economy one of the main risks

He said this during a speech in the Federation Council during the government hour.

“One of the main risks today is the “drawdown” of the economy due to logistical restrictions, on the one hand, and lack of liquidity, on the other,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.

The first deputy chairman of the government added that, as the data of surveys of business leaders show, the "drawdown" has already begun, but at the same time, by now it has "practically not affected the labor market."

Belousov also said that the vast majority of foreign companies have expressed a desire to stay on the Russian market.

At the same time, he noted that Russia must firmly defend its interests in the event of the departure of foreign companies.
