Russian Government Bails Out Financial Markets

September 19th, 2008 · No Comments · Russia Economy

Dmitry Medvedev and the Russian government have injected over $19 billion into the financial markets in order to prompt the Russian economy according to the Telegraph.

The news comes as the Russian stock market was suspended for a third day in a row as the global financial crisis and lower oil continues to test the Russian economy.

While many see this week’s event as a repeat of the collapse of the Russian economy in 1998, it is likely that history will not repeat itself as Russia currently holds the worlds third largest currency reserve.
