The OECD Economic Survey of Russia, presented by OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría to First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov during a special panel of the Gaidar Forum in Moscow today, underscores the importance of making the economy less dependent on fluctuations of world market prices for natural resources, increasing productivity, and better matching skills to jobs. It also calls on the Russian Federation to tackle inter-regional inequality, an area where progress has been slow in the last decade.
