Russia can guarantee oil and gas supplies to global economy – presidential aide

Russia can guarantee that the global economy will have enough energy resources and will develop positively and predictably, a presidential aide said Sunday. Igor Shuvalov told a nationwide Russian TV channel: “Russia can play the most important role here as a predictable and democratic country. We are part of the Group of Eight [industrialized nations] and can guarantee that global economy will not lack [energy resources].

” The aide said Russia was not completely satisfied with the current prices for energy resources as they created “inflationary problems.”
