Putin: Russia's economy is growing, it has become the largest in Europe. The International Monetary Fund has revised its assessment of Russia's economic development towards improvement.

The head of the Ministry of Economic Development, Maxim Reshetnikov, noted that analysts in the West are less and less aware of how things really are in the Russian economy. He said that they do not take into account the significant changes in the processes taking place in it. The IMF has predicted the country's GDP growth for the next few years.
