The 1998 Crisis in the economic sphere (the default) is one of the most difficult in the entire history of the Russian Federation. The reason for this phenomenon was the huge size of government debt, which arose as a result of the fall of the Asian economies and in the world prices of raw materials, which were the main exports, and Russia's economic policy, including the creation of t-bills.

Before that happened, the IMF gave Russia a loan in twenty-two million dollars, but state revenues failed to cover even the interest payments on the debt.

The Financial crisis of 1998, fell on the seventeenth of August. This day, the government announced the failure of the agreement on the loan. This event came as a surprise to foreign investors who believed that Russia is strong enough and prosperous state.

It Should be noted that in world history there has been no event of default, which are denominated in the national currency. However, in this case there was a default on t-bills on which the income before the crisis began in 1998, was one hundred and forty percent per annum. Usually in such cases in other countries began to print money, and when a national currency depreciates, the repayment of debts. Exactly this scenario was waiting for the investors that made deposits in t-bills from Russia. These contributions they caused by fixing the national currency to the U.S. dollar.

It Should be noted that Russia had several exits out of the situation. First, you can print the banknotes, thereby, to launch the mechanism of inflation. You could also declare a default in external and internal debt. RF chose the latter for the reason that the new inflation is not possible, because in the early nineties took place of a similar phenomenon, and the outstanding external debt to Russia was unacceptable.

The Crisis in 1998 had serious consequences for the development of the economy, with both negative and positive. So, the decreased standard of living, many banks and businesses went bankrupt, dropped the confidence of foreign investors to Russian banks, and its national currency, has dropped significantly the ruble. However, all these events gave the opportunity for Russia's economy to become competitive, in addition, significantly increased fiscal discipline. Default also allowed the Russian industry to gain greater power, fenced off from its imports and increasing exports.

When he was declared the 1998 crisis in Russia, investors started to negotiate with the Russian government, but payments amounted to only one percent of the entire amount of debt.

Thus, the Russian default brought more positive moments than negative. He contributed to the cleansing of the economy from hindering its development elements and more responsible attitude to the planning of the budget of the country. While small businesses took a course on development in large enterprises. After the default start to develop very fast, light and food industries, growing consumer demand.

I Should say that the outcome of the crisis is the development of those sectors of the economy that previously were filled by imports, for example, the production of screwdrivers by leading automobile companies of the state. Also the crisis of 1998 contributed to the fact that the Russian economy drip investments of foreign companies that have opened throughout the country, their production, and soon began the development of the stock market, as a result of the Russian company entered the international market.

Today, Russia has experienced UPS and downs in the economy. It is likely that the following default will be even larger scale.
