The OECD this week slammed the Russian government for its expansion into key economic sectors and raised concern about the ?seemingly insatiable appetite? of Gazprom, its state-run energy giant. The OECD also said that the Kremlin?s expansion into key economic areas was a ?disturbing trend? that ?bodes ill? for the country?s growth. Instead of concentrating on market reforms, the government increasingly focuses on tightening the state?s grip on sectors, which include aviation, media and finance, as well as energy. (FT)
