President Vladimir Putin instructed to prepare a medium -term program for the development of the Russian economy on the basis of the report of the Stolypin Club, Vedomosti reports . The presidential adviser Andrei Belousov made such an initiative.
The new economy development program will be an alternative to the concept proposed by the Center for Strategic Development under the leadership of the former Minister of Finance Alexei Kudrin. “He thought that one would form an economic agenda for the president, and this assignment says: there will be different positions,” the publication quoted a high -ranking official.
The report of the Stolypin Club, on the basis of which a new concept will be developed, provided for investing in the Russian economy at the expense of state funds: both from the budget and through the issue of the Central Bank. The concept of Kudrin involves private investments for which the state will create the necessary conditions. The CSR believes that the implementation of the proposals of the "Stolypinians" to accelerate inflation and currency volatility.
Work on the program should be completed no later than the fourth quarter of 2016. The interdepartmental group in the government will be engaged in her.
In the report of the Stolypinsky Club experts published in October last year, it was proposed to double the money supply and reduce the tax pressure on entrepreneurs for the development of the Russian economy. Among the authors of the report is the presidential adviser Sergei Glazyev, Boris Titov Commissioner for the Rights of Entrepreneurs, and the chief economist of Vnesheconombank Andrei Klepach.
The Central Bank must radically change the policy, the document is noted. Its main priority should be economic growth, and not containing inflation. According to the authors of the report, the Central Bank must make loans available, and do not compress the money supply, but increase. In this case, inflation should not be afraid of but under one strict condition: these means should be aimed at stimulating investment in real production. ”
In one package, with this quantitative mitigation, it is proposed to introduce electoral currency restrictions, including a tax on the purchase of foreign currency with a corporate sector. In addition, payments to the budget when export should come directly in foreign currency, the authors of the report say. This will avoid increasing demand for rubles at the end of the tax periods.
It is also proposed in the near future to accept the strike package of tax benefits that stimulate investments and technological updates. At the same time, taxes on the raw material sector are supposed to be increased.
According to the authors of the report, economic growth will occur due to "new industrialization." It means import substitution in many industries, including the agro -industrial complex, the development of automotive industry, high -tech engineering and information technology. In total, experts expect GDP growth of up to 10 percent per year.
