Best friends of the Ministry of Finance

The Ministry of Finance has prepared a “road map” of the development of the diamond-brilliant industry, which can become one of the largest reforms in its history. On Thursday, Kommersant writes on Thursday.

The document refers to a serious softening of state regulation and reducing the tax burden on Russian robbers, as well as the expansion of their access to raw materials. The company "Alrosa", the largest player in the market, in the case of reform will be forced to revise the sales and investment policy. It should be added to this that the company's income can be reduced due to an accident at the Mir underground mine.

Two market participants told about the preparation of the reform “Kommersant” and the federal official confirmed. According to one of them, a set of measures is aimed at "increasing the competitiveness of the Russian Grayal industry and attracting new investors." “This can be one of the most important stages of the liberalization of the domestic dragkamny market,” said the interlocutor of the publication. The plan is calculated until February 2018.

Be that as it may, the final decision remains with the federal government, while the documents are at the stage of interagency coordination.

One of the key points of the plan is the allocation of additional raw materials on the domestic market (at least 10% of the produced diamonds of the categories) to treat it in the country. The authors of the reform are sure that this will attract investment in the industry. True, Alrosa will be forced to reconsider the sales policy, now Russiangers are buying raw materials on a common basis with non -residents as part of the Alrosa Alliance program. The program has more than 50 customers, they have concluded three -year contracts, through them Alrosa implements about 70% of raw materials.

Another measure that will support Russian robbers is the possibility of separating boxes (lots) with raw materials acquired from Alros. Robbers have long been achieving predominant access to raw materials.

It is also possible that new shareholders will appear with Alros. Until December 1, representatives of the company, as well as the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Health, will hold negotiations with potential investors in diamond -use. It is likely that in one of the applicants, Suleiman Kerimov is, several years ago his name was called among sweaty strategic investors to the industry, his family controls PJSC Polyus. Alrosa then stood in terms of privatization with the prospect of the sale of 100% of the shares, but in the end, only the placement of shares on the Moscow Exchange took place.

The Ministry of Finance also plans to submit a report to the government by mid -November on the advisability of huggling VAT for operations with diamonds and jewelry, including ingredients from precious metals. In addition, the state is ready to simplify a number of control procedures, and in the free port of Vladivostok a pilot project can be implemented to introduce the Tax Free mode for jewelry products and a simplified procedure for currency and banking operations.
