Moscow, Sep 17 (RIA Novosti) A Kremlin economic adviser warned Thursday that the financial crisis in Russia and abroad may deteriorate further, despite recent signs of a recovery.

The country's GDP (gross domestic product) rose slightly in August for the first time since the onset of the recession last year.

'We understand that the risks are still high, and as yet the growth trend is not stable. It is too early to sit back. Uncertainty and risks are very high, both for this year and next year, so there are no grounds to say that we are experiencing stable growth,' Arkady Dvorkovich told a RIA Novosti news conference.

'This applies to any other country,' he added.
