"Walk the blade": Putin named the country's GDP growth rate for January-July

At a government meeting on economic issues, Russian President Vladimir Putin named the GDP growth rate for the period from January to July this year. According to the head of state, we are talking about 1.1% against 0.4% in July.

Putin also set an important task for the Cabinet of Ministers — to prevent hypothermia of the Russian economy.

According to the president, it is necessary to "walk the blade." This means, at the same time, not to undermine monetary policy, but also not to overcool the country's economy.
