“If we talk about the Russian economy now, the situation can be briefly described: the worst is already behind, but the growth rate is, of course, insufficient. Therefore, the main task for the coming year is the preparation of key measures that would allow to remove structural obstacles for the growth of the Russian economy and allow it to move forward,” Ogushkin answered Putin’s question about his vision of the main tasks of the department.

Oreshkin was born in 1982 in Moscow. In 2004 he graduated from the magistracy of the Higher School of Economics in the direction of "Economics". In 2002-2006, Oreshkin worked as an economist, and then the head of the Central Bank sector. In 2006-2010 - senior manager, director, managing director of Rosbank. In 2010-2012 - the head of the analytical block in Russia and the CIS Credit Agricole, in 2012-2013 - the main economist in Russia "VTB Capital"

In 2013, Oreshkin was appointed director of the Department of Long -term strategic planning of the Ministry of Finance. Since March 2015, he became the replacement of the Minister of Finance.

In January 2015, Oreshkin was included in the reserve of managerial personnel under the patronage of the president.

Oreshkin's predecessor as the head of the Ministry of Economic Development, Alexei Ulyukaev, was detained by the FSB officers in the evening of November 14. The next day, Ulyukaev was charged under part 6 of Article 290 of the Criminal Code (receiving a bribe by civil servants on an especially large scale with extortion). According to the plot of the case, the minister demanded from the representative of Rosneft Money for the legitimate issuance of a positive conclusion and evaluating "regarding the purchase by this company of the state stake of Bashneft. Otherwise, they say in the TFR, the official threatened to create obstacles to the work of Rosneft.

On November 15, in the evening, the Moscow Basmanny Court sent Ulyukaev under house arrest until mid -January. A few hours later, Putin dismissed the minister from his position "due to the loss of trust."

It was claimed that the FSB listened to the official of the official from the summer. Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that from the very beginning of the operational development of Ulyukaev, Putin received all the information about the events, but did not dismiss the minister, because “sufficient reasons are necessary for dismissal,” rather than “primary information”.

On November 21, Putin said that the case against Ulyukaev would only strengthen the business climate in Russia . "Сам факт того, что это состоялось, - это очень печальный факт. Но я бы хотел сказать только, что мы и дальше будем нетерпимо относиться к любым проявлениям подобного рода, - сказал Путин. - На мой взгляд, я в этом глубоко убежден, такие действия правоохранительных органов не только не наносят ущерба деловому климату, а наоборот, только укрепляют деловой климат в России. Все должны знать, и наши партнеры, и внутри страны, We all must understand and know that, regardless of the official position of anyone, the law will apply equally to everyone. ”

At the same time, the president emphasized that he has no complaints about the government as a whole. “The government works professionally, despite all the criticism that is natural,” Putin said. “We all work not without errors, and, probably, it would be possible to make something quickly to the government. But in general, I repeat again, I believe that the government works effectively and quite effective in the difficult conditions in which we have to function.”

In addition, Putin again assured that the case of Ulyukaev would not affect the transaction on the purchase of Rosneft Bashneft.
