Picture made available on June 3, 2009 shows Russian President Dmitry Medvedev giving an interview to US television channel CNBC outside Moscow in Barvikha on June 1, 2009. “The whole world is dependent on the health of the dollar,” Medvedev said. “My idea is that at the moment the world needs a larger number of reserve currencies and not because the dollar is bad or the euro is not sufficient. But the situation is that the current environment requires that we need to have more reserve currencies.” AFP PHOTO / RIA NOVOSTI / KREMLIN POOL / MIKHAIL KLIMENTYEV (Photo credit should read MIKHAIL KLIMENTYEV/AFP/Getty Images)
