This text is packed with useful economic and financial terms. It also is an example of an exhortatory style: the speaker has a clear message for his western audience, and is trying to convince his listeners to heed it. This requires accuracy in the use of the financial terms and a certain number of colloquial expressions to retain the flavor of the speech and get the message across.

   This sentence is full of nasty little problems. Особенно should follow
   "This has become." В связи can be rendered as "because of or "due to"
   rather than the much longer "in connection with." "В последнее время"
   can be shortened to "recently," since "in recent times" is both lengthy
   and excessively literary for this speech. Возникшее does not need
   translation, as it adds nothing to the sentence. Известными is better not
   translated as "well-known," which sounds awkward or even sarcastic —
   which is certainly not the speaker's intention — in English. "Of which you
   are aware" would cover this, if the interpreter has time. If not, известны­
   ми can be safely left out, precisely because the audience is "aware" of
   these problems.
