This is the man who said that "notwithstanding the current political crisis, the Russian economy is likely to improve in 1998. Recent indicators point towards faster growth in output and a pick-up in domestic demand as well as a decline in inflation to single digits". Within a few months, Russia dramatically devalued its currency, it defaulted on its debt and suffered inflation of 84%.
He also said in May 2008 that the international monetary system was well placed to withstand the sub-prime crisis, and that a pessimistic outcome was not credible.
So, if you don’t mind, I don’t find his predictions convincing...
