Ways of overcoming the economic crisis in Russia
Currently,
Russia's economy is feeling the impact of the economic crisis, which is
reflected in falling levels of economic growth: the budget deficit is observed
in many regions, increased inflation, falling oil prices, the depreciation of
the ruble and the business activity in the economy.
Many
of the current difficulties of the Russian economy lie in the plane of the
non-economic and, consequently, their solutions are also likely in the sphere
of politics. The main feature of the current economic situation in Russia -
something that many business people do not tend to increase the capitalization
of its assets, as it is not profitable. The main causes of the current economic
problems in Russia is not so much the economy, but in our heads.
Due
to the current monetary policy at the moment, you can watch the amazing
economic benefit: the clearly defined goal of keeping the inflation rate and
its decline is a sharp contraction of the money supply. It is a fact that
cannot be overlooked. The amount of money in the economy plummeted and
continues to decline aggressively. In the absence of monetary liquidity and the
ability to attract businesses cease to grow your business, start saving, reduce
costs, salaries, reduce investment. There is a tightening economy. The consequences
can be dire.
The
transition to the policy of forced investment and increasing human capital will
help to overcome the economic crisis. However, this is only possible while
reducing inflation and key rate of the Central Bank of Russia to 3-4%. The
crisis has had a bias in the social area. GDP fell by 3,7%, household
consumption - a key indicator of economic well-being - fell by 10,2%, while
inflation in 2015 It has reached 15,5%, and "dramatically lowered the real
incomes down."
It
may be noted that the decline in real income, consumption, housing construction
will continue in 2016.
The
main, but not the only element of an effective anti-crisis policy can be a
transition to the policy of forced investment and increasing human capital.
However, this is possible only if a significant reduction in inflation and the
key refinancing rate to 3-4%, otherwise the investment lending will not be
attractive. We are talking about strengthening the competitive environment, on
the prevention of unreasonable price increases, removal of administrative
barriers for business, the full development of public-private partnership,
responsibility and improving the economic rights of the regions and
municipalities, and more. The key direction of these changes - protection of
business and increasing the role of private property.
The
biggest "money bag of the country" are the assets of the banking
system, of which only 1,5% are involved in one way or another in the form
investkreditov. To make the "short" money bank assets in
"long" investments, you need the example of many other countries do
this through the issuance of Treasury long-term securities, which could at a
low annual interest rate to acquire "the Central Bank",
"Vnesheconombank", "Agency for Mortgage Lending "and,
possibly, other major funds and then by their pledge to issue investment loans
for a period of five, ten, 20 years of reliable commercial banks.
The
second "money bag" - a savings of citizens. Using even a small
portion of these funds for investment purposes, particularly for the
construction of housing, the purchase of plots for holiday homes, buy cars,
could provide a significant source of funds for the development of relevant
industries. Enter in the storage system must be via bond issue, which would give
discounts when buying an apartment, land or machines. Invest now necessary
in the new technologies and human capital, without which they are not viable.
Russia
a rich country, we can say "underdeveloped countries", in which her
dignity and economic advantage. Surviving the crisis Russia will just further
development of what is already well developed, so you need to invest in
exploration, extraction and processing of minerals, especially export-oriented.
Another
important area of development is agriculture. On the one hand, it
is politically important "food security" and "import
substitution" on the other - an export-oriented line of business, it is
the basis of the stability of the national currency.
Should
be exempt from the fiscal focus those industries in which the tax is not
collected, or
component in the consolidated budget is low, and replace the normal tax there
on the "imputed tax" (patents, licenses, simplified taxation).
It
is necessary to stimulate the creation of new jobs, self-employment and family
business. During the crisis, it is necessary to give more freedom and
competition. Entrepreneurs need to put merit in the creation of jobs, and this
must be the policy of each region. Then will appear the jobs, the money through
taxes on wages and property taxes. This was the region's future.
It
should also be noted that the stock market is the most rapid and reliable
indicator of any economy. The stock market - is forecast and investor
expectations, as well as a mechanism to attract investment and capital
exchange. Modern Russian stock market is characterized by small volumes of
trade, shares (excluding the shares of retail chains) low prices, low
volatility. He is still alive, but it does not perform its functions. This is
compounded by the negative policies of the Regulator, when any securities
transactions treated it as suspicious financial transactions. Financial
Instruments - no, money - no, too, there is no business.
From
the above it can be concluded that, despite the authorities' statements that
the peak of the crisis passed, and now the economy moves to a stable growth,
the facts suggest otherwise. The cost of a barrel of oil fell, approaching the
lowest level, which, in turn, led to a significant increase in the dollar. In
this situation the Government of the Russian Federation responded to the next
reduction budget expenditure by reducing the "inefficient and
unnecessary" spending. It is obvious that the economic crisis is gaining
momentum and is unlikely to end in 2016.
It
was only in 2017 can expect economic growth if they are carried out effectively
measures taken by the State at the continuing restrictions in the foreign
economy.
