The President stressed the fact that ensuring the financial stability, and credit resources, of industrial enterprises, is one of the key Government priorities.

Noting that the anticrisis programme is being implemented more slowly than had been planned, Dmitry Medvedev urged the Government to speed its work to overcome the financial-economic crisis, and said that new instructions would be issued to this end.

Before the meeting began, the President toured several of the plant's work sections, and looked at sample products.
