AnnualReportandAccounts2009 1 chairman’s statement he past year was a testing period for Globaltrans and the whole freight railway industry in Russia T as the economy grappled with the effects of major economic downturn. Global end user demand for Russian industrial commodities as well as internal demand evaporated rapidly during the early part of the year, forcing many industrial producers to cut back production drastically. Although, as the year progressed, key sectors of the Russian economy showed signs of steady improvement, last year was the most challenging trading environment that many of us have witnessed.
