The Russian branch of the American McDonald’s fast food chain intends to completely switch to bacon and potatoes of Russian origin.

The improvement in the scenario reflects a faster increase in Russian consumer expenditures, than it was expected, as the agency said.

The President of Sberbank German Gref said that oil might become “new coal” over the next 20 years. According to him, the schedule of oil consumption reminds the situation with the coal industry in the early and middle 20th century.

The Central Bank notes that this is the 43rd coin within the “Russian Federation” series that has been minted since 2005.

Kiev has increased the purchase of black coal abroad by half in annual terms - up to 1.9 billion dollars - since the beginning of the year.

The growth reached 32 percent.
