    Kudrin: government removed from the agenda of reducing the share of the state in the economy

    The head of the Accounts Chamber noted that this is confirmed by a three-year budget in which revenues from privatization are planned in the amount of 24 billion rubles.

    No, revenues from the sale of state property in 2019 are planned in the budget of 13 billion rubles, in 2020 - 11 billion rubles, and in 2021 privatization revenues are not planned.

    The head of the Accounts Chamber also noted that there is no increase in the share of the private sector in the Russian economy, and state-owned companies are still buying up private assets. "Therefore, this is one of the fundamental elements of the new model of the economy," said Kudrin.

    Dear Alexei Leonidovich, but you should be happy! Private company Musk is financed in more than 50% by US govt via Pentagon. Not to mention that oligarchs wasted wasted their assets by own mismanagement and Putin is re-nationalizing many companies in legal way now.

    Similarly as as US govt did in 2007. You are against USA Alexei Leonidowich or what?

    The report projects the share of natural gas in the global energy balance to increase from 22% to 26% by 2040
    VIENNA, December 7. /TASS/. The Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) forecasts global demand for gas to increase by 46% to 5.43 trillion cubic meters by 2040, according to the Global Gas Outlook 2040 issued by GECF on Friday.

    "Global demand for natural gas will grow by 46% - from 3.7 trillion cubic meters in 2017 to 5.43 trillion cubic meters in 2040," the document said.
    Generating electricity and the industrial sector will contribute the most to the growing deman.

    Russia is in triathlon not a sprint. INF rejection is bad for Russia. Extra missiles is just military part f deal, worse trade relations with EU,more strain on economy inn logn term doesn't really help.

    If economy generates say 100 rubles per year. You can reinvest say 5 if you start spending 1 rubles more on other things you have 4 left for investment. in long enough term it will make developing slower makes you you loose.
    There is always finite amount of money, people and knowledge in economy. And did compare economies of Russia vs NATO couturiers? in PPP not nominal.

    11:1? 12:1? who can afford investing more money in weapons ?

    No INF withdrawal is not good for Russia.

    No INF withdrawal is not good for Russia.

    Ironically history might repeat however... the first INF treaty was signed and agreed to because of the Soviets massive superiority in intermediate range missiles in europe that were so destabilising... whacking out 20,000 cheap simple light 5,000km range cruise missiles would be a rather easy and relatively cheap solution for Russia... the important thing is that the reply from europe would be to need to do the same... but also a recognition that their air defences are pathetic and that a Mathias Rust could land anywhere he wanted in the EU with impunity.

    The cost of actually creating an IADS would be bankrupting even for the US who likes to spend money on weapons... for the EU it will be eye watering and likely not affordable... let alone agreed upon.

    The withdrawal is not good for Russia... but it is also not really the end of the world.... it will be much harder for the EU and Europe.... possibly too hard... they might even stand up to washington.

    Russia ranked second in Bloomberg Rankings

    Malaysia has retained first place, and China is right behind Russia. Turkey, which was fifth last year, dropped to the last, twentieth place.

    The key role for Russia was played by the acceleration of GDP growth, while the EU sanctions persist, while the US is becoming tougher. The successes of the Russian economy recognized in the World Bank. This year, the Russian Federation has risen in the Doing Business rating from 35th to 31st position, although 6 years ago it ranked 120th.

    Today it is already clear that Western sanctions have played a positive role for Russia. The trade war launched by Trump facilitated the access of Russian products to the Chinese market, and the trade turnover between the countries is growing at a record pace. As a result of the sanctions against Turkey, economic relations between Moscow and Istanbul became more active - recently a whole series of contracts have been signed in various fields, such as military-technical cooperation, energy, food, etc.

    The dedollarization of the economy also played a positive role: today the total share of settlements in rubles is 20% for exports and 21% for imports. By the end of this year, an agreement on settlements in national currencies between Moscow and Beijing is expected.

    In addition, since 2014, private companies are trying to conduct transactions in euros and other currencies, gradually abandoning the dollar.

    Such an interest in settlements in any currency, if only not in dollars, is due to the constant tightening of US sanctions.

    Moscow is also pursuing a course on dedollarization of foreign loans. For example, at the end of November, the Ministry of Finance placed eurobonds worth a billion euros, while the demand for securities exceeded the supply.

    Recall that Europe has decided to follow the example of Russia. In early December, the European Union decided to weaken the influence of dollars in the energy sector and prepared a package of measures to replace the US currency with the euro in settlements with suppliers of energy carriers and natural raw materials.

    EU is 90% oil imports dependent, has 500 of fairly rich consumers. Switching to € will definitely hurt more than Russia alone. Let's be hones this might be really beginning of an endof Us regime. It's not only oil, gas too. It is also ability for 3rd parties to offer their products in €/local currencies. Only Sudis can stay by petrodollars

    World in state of transformation, Russia needs to keep up - Putin

    MOSCOW, December 8. /TASS/. The world is a state of transformation and Russia should do its best not to lag behind, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a congress of the United Russia party on Saturday.

    "The world on the whole is in a state of transformation. It is a very powerful and dynamically evolving transformation. Given we fail to find a way around in due time, given we fail to grasp in due time what and how we need to act, we might always end up in lagging behind," the Russian president said.

    "It is a very dramatic situation in the history of our country. This dramatic situation is unfolding across the world as well as in our fate," he noted.

    The United Russia party should employ its legislative and administrative potential and its human resources to unite and consolidate the citizens and to find solutions to nationwide problems, Putin concluded.

    Russia 2018 budget surplus to be close to 3% of GDP - minister

    Russia's budget surplus this year will be close to 3 per cent of GDP, the country's economy minister has said, higher than the official forecast thanks to strong oil revenues and conservative spending.

    “We will now have a budget surplus of 2.5 per cent of GDP at least this year, closer to 3 per cent," Maxim Oreshkin said.

    Last month the country's finance ministry raised its forecast for budget surplus to 2.5 per cent of GDP from 2.1 per cent previously. The surplus comes despite more than four years of western sanctions against Moscow targeting its most valuable industries.

    Budget rules that divert excess revenue from high oil prices into a stability fund rather than directly into government coffers have helped smooth Russia's currency fluctuations and ensured more stable expenditure planning, while the Kremlin has plumped for fiscal stability over driving up growth with higher spending.

    The economy is expected to grow by between 1.6 and 1.8 per cent this year.

    President Vladimir Putin's administration has sought to tap large business groups to pay for huge infrastructure investments rather than increase state spending.

    PM says domestic investment can drive Russia's economic growth

    http://tass.com/economy/1034621

    "The growth of the national economy can be first of all driven by its own investments - investments that appear as a result of economic development. Foreign investments, with all due respect and our aspiration to obtain them, are still a secondary source," he noted when asked about sources of investment amid sanctions.

    Novak estimated Russia's budget revenues as a result of an OPEC + transaction at 5 trillion rubles over 2.5 years









    The Russian budget received an additional 5 trillion rubles as a result of Russia's participation in an agreement with OPEC to reduce the level of oil production, said Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak.


    According to him, the additional revenues of Russian oil companies amounted to about 2 trillion rubles.


    “For two and a half years, the budget of the Russian Federation received an additional 5 trillion rubles, and oil companies received an additional about 2 trillion rubles. This helped stabilize the budget situation, ”Novak told Russia 24.

    are you serious 20,000 CMs?!Kalibr is built with ~100 unites per year. Not sure if Iskander even less. Besides Us regime doesnt care about EU.
    Even if so far west didnt put enough attention to AAD in couple of years they can have top tier without problems.

    A cruise missile is just a subsonic drone with a tiny turbojet engine and a solid rocket booster to get it moving... for a nuclear anti population role it does not need high precision guidance... 1km CEP is easily good enough... and this is not about the US... this is about showing the EU how little the US cares about it... making the EU realise that mommy doesn't care and is a crack addict and will drop you like a hot rock if it suited her...

    Making them spend money on defence... in addition to the money the US wants them to spend puts them in a worse economic position.

    The Russians can always use cruise missiles... take out the nuke warhead and fit a large conventional warhead and a terminal guidance and use it where they are currently fighting when needed.

    Hell, they could fit it with cameras and use it as a long duration observation drone to loiter on the battlefield for days at a time and then come back to friendly territory and land in a canal or lake with air bags to make it float for recovery and reuse.

    In PPP west (US, EU, Au, Canada, Japan) is like 15:1, who will bankrupt first in arms race? no arms race is no good for Russia. will Russia survive? yes Russia does. But raunning marathon with backpack doesnt make it easier to run.

    It is about imposing a cost... right now people in the UK don't give a fuck about Russia because if the UK wanted to attack Russia it could position its fighter aircraft on the Black sea in the eastern block countries, while for Russia the only ground based weapons that could reach the UK are ICBMs.

    The west protested against US cruise missiles because they knew how destabilising they are... the current generation in the west need to be reminded...

    And subsonic long range cruise missiles are cheap to make in large numbers and are clearly very effective.

    In the anti population role the performance requirements go right down so no need for precision guidance... even just inertial guidance would be enough... though for use against the UK I would demand a pulse jet propulsion system... remind them of the war... with the buzz bombs.

    Kozak supported subsidizing the development of LPG car infrastructure

    There were a lot of cars here converted to operate on LPG... it actually isn't that hard to convert a petrol driven car to run on LPG... most kept their petrol internals and just added an LPG tank in the boot... and a flick of a switch inside the car determined what the engine ran on.

    Finally US diplomats admits the reason why US sanctions..
    this is how honesty looks like.. from an US former top diplomat on Ukraine TV. told..



    We want their [Russian] economy to be weaker because a strong economy supports strong military power. And we do not want a strong aggressive state to have a strong army or a strong navy. Therefore, sanctions certainly serve our interests”, the retired diplomat said.


    https://sputniknews.com/world/201812151070711042-us-sanctions-russia/

    So Russia economy have been ALWAYS under sanctions/economic siege /Economic sabotage from Americans.
    There have been no time in Russia Federation or soviet union history after wold war 2, that the Americans
    and British have not tried creative ways to slow down/cripple Russia economy.

    The easier way to do it is sanction but also attacking oil prices and provoking violence and conflicts ..
    as they did in Ukraine and Syria to force Russia to intervene and invest a fortune. in any military operations.
    So Americans elite will have hoped to see a full scale invasion of Russia in Ukraine and Syria ,and with oil prices at $20 to $30 for a long time. Before Ukraine and Syria.. they provoke another conflict that damaged Russia economy ,the chechen wars.. was made in USA and the georgia war...too.. US under bill clinton ,they opposed
    to nord stream 2.. under absurd pretext.. but the real reason is they don't like competition to their world influence and so Russia economy needs to be target as much as possible... This is why terrorist in Russia likes to target
    tourism places.. and why CNN scared people from visiting Sochi Olympics .. is all about weakening collapse Russia economy. in hopes to provoke civil unrest and split the nation. .

    tactics used by US and UK and closer allies to achieve those goals? of breaking Russia economy?
    1) Sanctions for any pretext.. no matter which one.
    2) sanctions on any business they can ,that Russia is succesful.
    3)travel ban for Russian business man.. for same reason..
    4)sanction of Russia export of weapons

    They targeting also CHina economy to weaken them too.. why Huawei executive was taken
    hostage. and arrested by Canada. This is why Putin can't never hope for things to improve ever..
    but only get worse.. Russia needs to break the US system and create an alternative to the US world.
    it have no other choice ,if Russia ever wants to have a chance to avoid a major war vs US.

I know a lot of trades people who do jobs for cash so it does not go through the books... the customer saves tax costs and the tradesman saves on paperwork... and the hidden income does not push them up into a higher tax bracket where they would have to pay more tax to the government for being more successful this year.

    THats a known fact not a new revelation,  That is the motive of sanction on all the countries not just Russia but even Iran or china or Noko or others.

    Russia is now more dependent on internal resources.

    Sanctions are great blessing in disguise.   US Economy is significant weakened now cant fight this long

    Agreed.

    The Americans show their incompetence by the way they speak. They talk as if they have any real effect. But Russia faced a small blip (smaller than the 2008 market crash) with heavy sanctions, and now continues to grow (albeit at a small pace). But as time goes on, Russia's ability to be independent grows. NATO helps it grow by trying to attack Russia all the time - creating an alternate results. Same happened to Iran.

    Only thing now is for Russia to deal with the NGO's.

    Actually it is funny that a while back people were complaining that Russia doesn't make anything... you can't generally buy well known Russian name products in the west except firearms.

    There is an article that looks at a US report that highlights over 300 critical technologies that the US military needs for day to day operations that are now no longer available or sourced from overseas vendors... from fabric to make tents to important fuels and components of weapons...

    It states that the reason Trump is imposing tariffs and sanctions is to try to get US companies to bring production back to the US... but they still have problems because the engineers they are training are mostly from China...

    http://thesaker.is/the-pentagon-realised-what-it-has-done-the-chinese-put-the-us-army-on-its-knees/

    For those who can't be bothered reading it and following the links inside it, basically they are in a much worse situation than Russia ever was with no obvious way out short of spending a whole lot more money just to keep the capabilities they think they have now...

    In fact Russia is approaching a position where most problems are solved, while the US are in over their head and still sinking... Trumps solution is as bad as the disease...

    Regarding Europes dependence on Russian energy... they are not dependent... they could buy from anyone if they want... it is just that the Russian product is the cheapest and is piped directly to them reducing transport costs as well.

    If they decide to invade or piss off Russia to the point where the gas is turned off they can still get gas... it will just cost a hell of a lot more.

    How much is "all Russia"?

    December 4, 2018


    https://topcor.ru/4004-pochem-mozhno-prodat-rossiju.html



    Russia's natural resources are divided into explored and unexplored. All prospected today are estimated at 77-78 trillion dollars. About the cost of undiscovered it remains only to guess, but it is assumed that this figure may be about 300 trillion dollars. But to consider this money already lying in the state budget is premature, since their extraction will require huge investments in exploration and production, and will take a long time. 

    Oil

    With oil production in volumes of 600 million tons annually, it will be enough for the next 130 years. These estimates are made from accounting for proven reserves of Russian oil, which are estimated at 80 billion tons. Their total value, based on the current price of a barrel of $ 63, reaches $ 36 trillion, which in terms of rubles at a 1:66 rate is more than 2.4 quadrillion.

    Gas

    The total volume of proven natural gas reserves in Russia reaches 40 trillion cubic meters. Based on the price of 230 dollars per thousand cubic meters, the value of reserves will exceed 9 trillion dollars (more than 600 trillion rubles). 

    Forest

    Russian forests occupy 1 billion 184 million hectares - this is a quarter of the area of ​​all world forests. If all this is cut down and sold, for example, to China, then you can gain 28.5 trillion dollars (almost 2 quadrillion rubles). Due to the weak development of the infrastructure and the unfavorable business climate in some regions of Russia, this kind of natural wealth is being actively mastered by the “black lumberjacks” and everyone involved.

    Also, our country is rich in reserves of natural gas, coal, iron ore and non-ferrous metals. The Urals region is particularly notable on the economic map of the country, where there is a high concentration of deposits and industrial enterprises, and there is also a developed infrastructure for exporting products. 

    Other minerals and mining objects The

    approximate cost of all the other proven natural resources of our country is from 3 to 5 trillion dollars. 

    Science

    This type of Russian assets is valued entirely with all scientific developments and fixed assets at 37 trillion rubles. Such modest values ​​are explained by equally modest investments from the state in the development of science - 1.12% of GDP. 

    Business

    The total value of the largest Russian business has also been calculated, which as of last year amounted to 635 billion dollars. The leader was Rosneft with a capitalization of 69.9 billion dollars, on the second - Sberbank with 61.1 billion, Gazprom closed the top three - 59.9 billion. For comparison, one American "Apple" is more than one and a half times more expensive than all the leading Russian companies. 

    Our country is truly unique. Under the socialist system, 40% of the world's resources belonged to only 2% of the world's population. One compatriot today formally accounts for about $ 38,709 of the natural wealth of the Russian Federation. But with the advent of capitalism, their owner changed, and now the average Russian is 13 times poorer than the average US citizen.

    But according to Forbes, last year our country presented the world with 96 billionaires, participants in the ranking of the richest people in the world. Among them: L. Michelson with a fortune of 18.4 billion dollars, G. Timchenko with 16 billion, M. Friedman - 14.4 billion dollars. A. Usmanov - 15, 2 billion, V. Vekselberg - 12.4 billion dollars, Vagit Alekperov - 14.5 billion and other respected business captains. 

    Thus, Russia can be “estimated” at about $ 75-80 trillion, which will be about 5 quadrillion rubles. But these are all dead figures. In fact, the motherland can not have prices.

    Why does Russia seek billions in the West, with a budget surplus?
