MOSCOW, November 18 – RIA Novosti. President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday addressed the participants of the forum of the Popular Front, and promised them that the government will provide a stable tax system will save the reserves, and domestic producers receive a unique chance to gain a foothold in the market in terms of sanctions.
The second “Action Forum” ONF was dedicated implementation of the May presidential decrees from 2012, challenging for the Russian economy under Western sanctions. However, the range of issues that were raised by the participants of the meeting was much broader than expected from the purchase of medicines in the region and support the villagers to the problems of global geopolitics and trends in the world economy. Part of the ideas and proposals of the Head of State promised to take into account in his annual address to the Federal Assembly.
About those, Who Framed
At the beginning of the meeting, Putin gave a brief description of economic relations between Russia and its Western partners that have imposed sanctions against it. According to him, these countries substitute the lost and their development of the Russian market of food.
“We are, in fact, used the incorrect behavior of our partners, especially in those countries that have successfully mastered the Russian market of agricultural products and, I believe, Framed by introducing sanctions against us famous. It gave us a moral and, I believe, a legal right to impose retaliatory measures precisely in the industry, which in recent years has demonstrated good growth, “- said the president.
He added that the restrictions imposed on the import of food given to Russian farmers additional opportunities to work in the domestic market. The president admitted that the “road map”, developed by the Government to support agriculture, adjustments can be made.
Putin proposed another measure of domestic support: according to him, not only the purchase of large companies with state participation, but also small and medium enterprises should focus on domestic producers. He stressed that it is necessary to consider the criteria for procurement so “and to hand them not strongly linked, our companies, but at the same time would provide our small and medium-sized, and large enterprises, our orders”.
The Pros and Cons of stability
The main problem of the Russian economy, according to the president, remains the same – it is still focused on getting quick income on energy, and this structure should be changed.
“Our economy, and we talked about this many times said, unfortunately, for many previous years, since the collapse of the Soviet Union – and it was then that was quite lopsided – and in the decades to become even more lopsided. The main effort economic actors have focused on getting quick income, and it is, above all, the industry of mining, production of raw materials, oil and gas, some chemicals, metals and so on, “- said the president.
” Our goal to change the structure of the economy. This is one of the main tasks. But while she (the structure), such as it is, and change it in a short time is not possible. It is a thing long cycle and with the need of large capital investment, “- said Putin.
Speaking about the economic development of the country, Putin drew attention to the stability of the tax system as an essential condition for this.
“Over this just have to think, and certainly I will try to reflect this in his message – is the stability of the tax system. This is not only for agriculture, it is for the whole economy is extremely important, “- he said.
Currently, the Russian authorities are discussing changes in the tax system, in particular, the introduction next year of trading fees in federal cities values. Business representatives have repeatedly spoken out against such initiatives.
The President noted that any change in taxation, even downward load may be negatively perceived in business, as happened with the social contributions for individual entrepreneurs.
From January 1, 2013 premiums in state funds with private entrepreneurs have doubled, leading to a sharp reduction in the number of registered citizens as FE. Against this background, the government decided to reduce contributions for this category of business, and the State Duma passed a law, earned in 2014.“At first, everything abruptly taken off, and then abruptly raised all. It would be better not to touch anything. When the decision was made to return back, even in the business community have said that raised the – well, let alone better than us so hard, do not understand what is going to happen, “- said the head of state.
Correct Central Bank
When asked about the consequences of the devaluation of the national currency and the Bank of Russia, who moved to the floating of the ruble, Putin expressed his opinion that it was “the right decision.” According to him, this assessment is shared by “the world’s best experts”.
“The Bank has assumed, and rightly so, that the market will regulate itself, and speculators can no longer on this parasite, knock out of the Bank of Russia’s international reserves, we have accumulated over the previous years “- said the president.
The ruble autumn experiencing another round of decline amid high geopolitical risks and falling oil prices. CB, following its previous exchange rate policy, sold in October currency of Russia’s international reserves at 30 billion dollars in order to smooth fluctuations. From November 5, the regulator canceled No limit foreign exchange interventions, and from 10 November to essentially completed the transition to a free floating ruble canceling regular intervention and the corridor of currency basket
While appreciating the role of the Central Bank in the foreign exchange market, the president at the same time encouraged regulator to increase its role in matters of lending, although the problem of debt load of citizens, he said, has not yet acquired a catastrophic unsolvable nature.
“Financial institutions should objectively evaluate what they are doing, not just to burden the citizens what -That obligations of which the citizen knows nothing, and then shake out of it the money. We have already drawn attention to this issue and will continue to do it. And here, of course, and the role of the Central Bank should be increased, “- said Putin.
In response to a question from one of the forum participants about the problem of debt load of Russians, the president said that we need a responsible approach by both the citizens themselves, and from the banks. He added that last year the growth in consumer lending in Russia amounted to about 10%, and mortgages rose 17%. The President also stressed that law enforcement authorities should intervene if the debt collection organization acting illegally when trying to collect from the debtor’s funds for loans.
Zakreditovanny DIC
Much worse, Putin praised the state of the Russian defense industry, which as the president stated, experienced problems due to the high debt load of about 100% of advances, which operated previously.
“It should be very carefully watching to see where the money they spent, for what purpose used … Financial discipline should be exactly guaranteed, guaranteed. The country, the army, the navy should get us the necessary equipment, armament in time and at the agreed prices in the contracts, “- he said.
He also suggested the All-Russian Popular Front to develop a single document on pricing in DIC, and profitability of the industry, in its opinion can be increased to 16-17%.
“It is realistic and it is sufficient in principle to the industry and as a whole and individual businesses feel stable, confident and have potential for development, “- said the president.
Doctors without nuances
Touched president and topics directly related to the May decrees – health care reform. Putin said that the authorities in the field, particularly in Moscow, “not worked all the nuances”.
“I think that our colleagues did not thought of everything and not all finalized and, guided by the generally , right reasons and with good intentions, yet could be different it all lined up. We have already spoken on this subject with the Moscow authorities and, of course, so this problem does not just leave, “- he said.
” If precise and clear in advance to inform people, to conduct appropriate discussions, not just explanations, and work with professionals who understand what is happening, understand where the system moves, and think in advance about the people, if they are released with the knowledge and experience, we should see and decide what to do, what to do in the field of employment, “- said Putin.
Earlier, the head of the Moscow Department of Health said that the experts are exploring the possibility of dismissal 7000 metropolitan doctors retirement and pre-retirement age. Also, the media reported that in the course of the reorganization of Moscow’s health system will be eliminated a number of hospitals and maternity hospitals and medical facilities will be more efficient to develop. In addition, some doctors narrow specialties, the surplus which is observed in medical institutions will be invited to re-qualify at more popular destinations for urban account. The message caused a public outcry.
About the rights and interests
The meeting also discussed Russia’s relations with foreign countries, especially those that have introduced sanctions against it. In particular, the director Yuri Kara suggested that the US is trying to humiliate Russia.
“They do not want to humiliate us, they want us to obey. They want at our expense to solve their problems, they want to subjugate us to their influence. Never, who is in the stories concerning Russia did not, and no one will “, – Putin said, commenting on the statement of one of the participants of the” Forum for Action “ONF that the US is willing to humiliate Russia.
In this case, Putin warned abuse of the term “European values”
“The protection of so-called common European and Western values to the detriment of its own national interests, usually carries a few problems. Firstly, what is the interest? Criteria, no. This is a common talk about democracy, it’s not right for a coup, genocide, “- he said.
Speaking of the last G20 summit in Australia, whose Prime Minister Tony Abbott has promised to take Putin at a meeting” for the breast, “the Russian president admitted that he was surprised by the warmth of the Russian delegation, and no “battle” with the Australian counterpart he had.
“I want to say that in practice it was nothing like this. Australian partners have created exceptionally friendly environment for work, very sincere, I would say, and is to seek solutions to the problems faced by the world economy, “- he said.
