SYDNEY Feb 11 (Reuters) - Rio Tinto (RIO.AX) (RIO.L) CEO Tom Albanese said on Thursday the Anglo-Australian miner may continue to defer big modernisation of aluminium projects until it sees an upturn in OECD economies.

Rio echoed rival BHP Billiton's (BHP.AX) caution in calling a global recovery on Thursday and cut its 2009 dividend after reporting its worst second-half profit in three years.
