After four successive years of declining rates of economic growth in OECD countries, a fifth in 1981 now seems quite likely. The ‘second oil shock’ of 1979 must take much of the blame for the particularly slow growth this year and last. But in the year in which it occurred any depressive effect may well have been quite small, as it seems to have encouraged stock accumulation in anticipation of more rapid increases in price levels generally. And even before 1979 output had been rising much more slowly than in the years preceding the first ‘shock’ of 1973-4.

With signs of normalization seemingly in place in the world economy, a number of problems show the possibility of aggravation in the future. The volume of derivatives in American banks grows significantly, high risk instruments are back in place and their use becomes more active, global imbalances increase. All of the above requires thorough approaches when creating mechanisms which can neutralize external shocks for the Russian economy and make it possible to develop in the new post-crisis environment.
