At the Plenary Session, which took place on the 5th of
January on the board of the cruise liner “Freedom of the Seas”, the
subject “The world economy until 2020: forecast and reality” was
thoroughly examined.
The work of the Meeting was opened by the IUE First
Vice-President Krasilnikov V.N. In his speech of welcome
Krasilnikov V.N. remarked that “the subject of the Meeting is of
utmost importance. The present situation of the world economy,
the dynamic of its development during the last months
demonstrated the whole universal scale of problems affecting the
international society in general and each country and each
person individually.
The modern society is in great need of a search of innovational
methods to overcome the crisis events and building longterm
development strategies.
I hope that during the discussion new and perhaps non-standard
ways of reforming and transformation of the world economy will
be found”.
