Ex-Minister of Finance Alexei Kudrin will write a new economic program for Vladimir Putin. According to RBC, a source in the presidential administration announced this. According to him, "Kudrin discusses with the president a formal opportunity to write a program outside the government."
The interlocutor of RBC specified that the preparation of the program can be conducted on the basis of the Center for Strategic Development, which has existed since 1999. For this, Kudrin can take one of the leading posts in the CSR. This information was confirmed by a source in the government and a source in the civilian initiative committee founded by Kudrin.
“So far, negotiations are continuing in terms of the CSR, but 70 percent, that the issue will be resolved positively. The question of how to make all the federal authorities cooperate with the fund,” the interlocutor of the portal in the committee said. According to the source, the issue of financing remains open, since "the CSR now has a stable financing necessary for such an ambitious program."
According to the SCSR website, the fund provides consulting services: he was ordered by Russian Railways, VTB Capital, the Presidential Administration, the Ministry of Economic Development, the Sberbank NPF, SUEK, the European Development Bank and other organizations. The last reporting on the website of the Ministry of Justice of the Central Administrative District as a non -profit organization published in 2013: the document reported that the receipt of property and funds during 2012 amounted to less than 3 million rubles.
According to the source in KGI, the CSR was chosen as the main "brain center" for the development of the program, because "it has a good image train." The center was created in 1999, it was headed by German Gref. It was under his beginning that experts wrote “Strategy 2010”, which actually formed the basis of the economic policy of the government in the early 2000s.
In parallel with the issue of the economic program for the president, the sources of RBC say, the administrative reform is discussed, for which the Gref team will take up. She prepared a presentation on changing the government system for the government in October 2015. The purpose of the reform is to reduce the president’s instructions and move on to project work.
The reform is discussed, but not yet approved, and in the government apparatus they only think about creating her project office. The economic council under the President may be involved in managerial reform, a source in KGI says. The Council includes, in addition to Kudrin and Gref, the President’s economic assistant Andrei Belousov, Chairman of the Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina, the rector of the Russian Academy of National Economy and State Service for President Vladimir Mau and the presidential adviser to Eurasian integration Sergey Glazyev.
