IMF warns Russia on overheating economy

The International Monetary Fund warned Russia against further stimulating a red-hot economy on Friday, saying the world's number two oil exporter was vulnerable to a possible fall in high crude prices.
"There are...emerging signs of macroeconomic tensions and considerable uncertainty...especially in the event of much lower oil prices," the Fund said in a statement after an annual fact-finding mission.
The IMF forecast economic growth at 7-1/4 percent this year, unchanged from last year, and above the government's own growth view of 6.6 percent.
