Kudrin: There is no alternative to investing in American debt today

Approved as head of the Accounts Chamber of Russia, Alexey Kudrin, the day before, came to a meeting with deputies of the United Russia faction in the State Duma of the Russian Federation. Kudrin deputies asked questions related to the macroeconomic situation in Russia and in the world. One of the questions concerned the continuing US investments in US debt securities against the background of US sanctions. Kudrin asked if it’s time to stop practicing this kind of investment.

Kudrin's answer from the words of State Duma Deputy Vladimir Gutenev leads RIA News:

In a mild form, he (Kudrin) made it clear that he considers the placement of gold reserves and state savings in American securities to be quite acceptable. He said that, of course, political risks should be taken into account when making decisions, but at the moment he does not see any alternatives.

Recall that by the end of 2017, the share of Russia's gold and foreign exchange reserves in US dollars increased from 40,4% to 45,8%. At the same time, the share of gold and foreign currency reserves in euro has significantly decreased. Thus, the Russian financial system continues not only to invest in American debt, but also to increase these investments. And it is unlikely in the medium term the situation in this regard will somehow change. This makes it clear and former Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin, whom the United States at one time called almost the best finance minister in the world.

I offer Kudrin to give free of charge - irrevocably the USA! We won’t be able to do any better “ownership” than to fuse it there! !!

[Andrey Yuryevich]

Kudrin was returned by Putin, it remains Serdyukov and Vasilyeva to return to the MO, then certainly there will be a “breakthrough” ... at all seams.

[teu]

Quietly everyone will be returned who was involved in the destruction of the Russian Federation, it remains to wait ...

[For example]

Oh, offended activated. Putin is to blame for everything !!!
Just as Kudrin can carry all kinds of blizzards, you blame Putin for YOUR own problems.

P.S. Are you a fan of Kudrin and investments in T-bills of the USA? Before you there was only one such one was Golovan Jack, he was a cat beckon, he is Kisa. Are you his hypostasis, or a separate bot?

[just exp]

that would not scratch about kudrin but he is an expert specialist. and he can and will offer something. they keep him behind this. but they will accept what he offers or not depends on the president.
Let me remind you that it was Kudrin who proposed creating a small pillow (reserve funds) and without them we would have started the new 2014 year in 1985 (when the Saudis brought down oil prices and the USSR began to take some positions in Europe for loans)

[mr.Vain]

I also disagree with this, but where to invest then? There is not so much physical gold, the same dollar in euros, well, where to invest the money so that inflation would not eat them?

[Gardamir]

and where to invest then?

in production, science, education, medicine ....

[mr.Vain]

Quote: Gardamir

That is, to spend everything, and if the rainy day comes? And I see from my own data that it is coming, and 2008 will seem like a storm in a glass compared to what awaits us.

[Gardamir]

Is a rainy day coming?

and he will come, if not to invest in the development of the country. Or do you believe that the Americans will return the money?

[mr.Vain]

I am opposed to investing in their debt, it is necessary to invest in the development of the country, but there should be a small egg, the question is what to keep it in?

[NordOst16]

In order to invest money, we need tight control by society, i.e. where, how much and how. And for this it is necessary to bother a little power, so that she was afraid of her people (probably as it was in Novgorod)))

[just exp]

the money is not with the Americans, but with us this money is just dollars.
this is if you invest in the traderis (debt obligations) mattresses can throw.
and bucks only if you keep them in state banks. but they are not kept there.

Quote: mr.Vain

And I see from my own data that it is coming, and 2008 will seem like a storm in a glass compared to what awaits us.

Well, yes, if our assets abroad are frozen, then the very day you are talking about will come. In the meantime, we are diligently investing in these assets thanks to people like Kudrin.
And yet it is better to meet a rainy day with your developed economy than up to a rainy day to support the enemy.

[NordOst16]

Focus on development and what's next? About 30-35 percent will get to the point, the rest will go into the pockets of officials, from there to the States and Europe. There is no big difference, and at least there will be more legal protection.

[NordOst16]

I am not a visionary, but I can say with 80% certainty that, God forbid, 30–35 percent of this money will go to the good, the rest will go into the pockets of officials, and from there to Europe or the States. So it’s better that way because the USA always paid its debts (although there was a case with Iran, we don’t intend to attack the diplomatic consulate of the USA - that is, the territory of the USA).

[just exp]

if we are now when oil prices can collapse again at any moment (the price of oil is essentially fixed. It does not depend on the cost of production and other things, this is a purely political decision, it will be necessary to drop the price, it will be necessary to skyrocket) we will put in all that You have listed (and they invest a lot in these positions), it’s just that at a critical moment for the economy, everything can collapse due to external factors.
while the fat dries, the thin dies.
the egg-pod should be and should be big.

[mr.Vain]

I absolutely agree with you, from today oil will only fall, ahead of difficult times.

Are you stunned ??? What is the use of science, education and medicine? You need to invest in yachts, in vineyards in Tuscany, in charity funds, in a cello, in a residence, in sneakers !! This is the most necessary! and the rest is just noodles on our ears about our (or rather them) happy tomorrow!

And didn’t you think about the fact that you can build factories, provide people with jobs and salaries, sell finished products and earn profits several times, even by orders of magnitude greater than from the sale of oil and gas?
In general, who said that we should fight for markets for oil in Europe? Do not like the prices of oil and gas, electric energy and rare earth metals? We will not be lost with all this, and let Europe buy from the USA and elsewhere.

[Pax tecum]

Kudrin is a complete liberal. It is a fact!
And as a liberal - an active supporter "liberal monitor policy".
Those. knows how to count. Now he has supervisory function.
Nobody will let him go close to making government decisions, even advising him.
The financial sector and especially the real sector of the economy are closed to it. And the interaction of these sectors is even more so.

PS Do not forget that Putin, by his own admission, is a convinced liberal.
It’s not customary to recall this in the elections, or what?

This is the most important thing to note in the discussion
At the expense of reserves, the main commodity circulation is in dollars and this is a fact, for example, for the time being, it takes dollars to purchase Korean machine tools, equipment, pharmaceuticals, etc. We still do not forget that even though the currency share is growing, the overall investment in gold is growing. Those. the growth of the currency mass is not due to the sale of gold, but simply this mass grows naturally as a result of trade, also due to the depreciation of the ruble and import substitution. No need to say what we invest in American debt, the Fed does not belong to the USA as a state, it is a supranational structure of world order.

[dvina71]

There is subtlety. Liberalism. A very broad concept .. From classical to neoliberalism. Convinced is not a classification. But Kudrin is a neoliberal.

Who said that they would not allow him to enter the economy? He himself will fit into the economy, or rather, that as such the economy does not exist! Otherwise, he will not be Kudrin.

[NEOZ]

Quote: just explo

I remind you that this is Kudrin

I’ll also remind you that investments in the US government debt bring 0.5-1% per annum with a minimum term of 5 years, the Russian Federation themselves issue securities (borrowed) in foreign currency at 5-6% per annum .... and of course we do not forget about the depreciation us dollar, remember that 100 dollars 10 years ago and 100 dollars now are completely different purchasing abilities ......

I never believed and never believe that in such a huge country like Russia there are no worthy football players. Spain, Italy, England ... these are not big countries and as a percentage of our players are definitely there.

Yes, I see you are an expert, especially if you think about what you wrote. So the Saudis are to blame for the collapse of the USSR and the collapse of industry? Ukraine still won’t get rid of the Soviet legacy. Everything steals, squanders, and much more remains.
Do not connect Kudrin with those merits that do not belong to him, I would say even more. Contrary to him!

No, well, and if you really look at the topic, then it’s finally not clear why people are more worried about the State Department, which is always worried and for any reason. Well, there is an opinion of Kudrin. What's next? He is a bookkeeper and is not allowed to invest in "extra" babos. Decisions are made by other people. Well, Kudrin has been rubbing the same thing since 2011, but for the past 7 years after his resignation from the government, shuttles in the run mode went to paper or to paper in a deposit range of 114 billion - 86 billion - 108 billion. with him and Kudrin, let him now look after Dimon, his case is the Accounts Chamber.

[The_X_Factor]

And what difference does Kudrin say? This is the Accounts Chamber, and it is not for her to decide where to invest or not to invest.

[Dr_engie]

I don’t need either your bridge or a dagger. I just would like to have a normal job in the region, and in general to live not like in a big village, in the oil and gas producing region either.

[Victor N]

It all depends on you personally: choose a profession that is in demand and well-paid and upgrade your qualifications. Nobody will do this for you!
And do not want to live in a village - move. Everything in life is simply arranged, if you do not poison yourself with freebie chimeras.

[Severok]

Specialties are full hands, from metalworking to assembly-adjustment machines. They just pay so that you have to leave your family and live in the same mug, there is not enough salary for a bigger one. From that I had to leave the security forces.

[Dr_engie]

By the way, yes. The most demanded "industry". The junior security inspector in the FSIN receives 18 thousand here. In order to get so much in other areas, you need to be the head of the department, or the main specialist.

Just like a child’s, "I don’t need to be your dagger." It’s not difficult to “google” what they do with those who lose the war. This is all exactly what to scream in the Second World War - "I do not need your T-34s, IL-2s and Katyushas." These things were not created for show-offs, but in order to survive, and those who say that this is not necessary have not far gone in terms of intelligence from the log.
Although, apparently, the author of the quote is a foreigner with a cracked back seat.

[Dr_engie]

And what about war? Where?
In addition to those places where they themselves climbed.
And so yes, let's rivet even more tanks and generally take a break from hunger ourselves, no one will even have to attack.

[zoolu350]

Our war is in full swing and it is everywhere: in politics, in economics, in ideology, in sport, in science and in the oligarchy of the Russian Federation this war is losing. You are right in one thing that in this situation even a million tanks will not help because there is no Idea, Plan and Will.

Life in the south of Russia in many respects and in Crimea was completely reduced to a bridge. Maybe it’s not noticeable from Belarus.

[Kent0001]

And how did this affect the standard of living of ordinary citizens? Well, the bridge gave an increase to GDP, but it gave an even greater increase to the capital of the "friends" who built it, and the officials who served this topic. The bridge is needed, as well as much more, only we have no government efficiency. Therefore, the price of such "bridges" in the future will always be sky-high, with constant adjustment to growth during construction (Zenit Arena is the MOST best example for you). Yes, and the Vostochny spaceport is there too.

Serdyukov and Vasilyeva are commonplace crooks who have gained access to a large feeding trough. With Kudrin, the question is completely different - this is a terry liberalist. But Kudrino hoarding served Russia's very good service during the period of falling oil prices and “sanctions”. Due to these stash, we did not get inflation, we were able to pay huge government orders for the defense industry and not cut social programs in the most important areas. It is also pointless to deny it. Maybe for these merits and put him on the post of auditor (not manager).

You see, whom to put on key posts in the Russian Federation is not so important. The power in the Russian Federation, in fact, is a monarchy (I already wrote about this), Kudrin can say, you can put Serdyukov as the Minister of Health, you can Mutko give the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but HE determines the key decisions and strategy! I’m not talking about crooks and embezzlement, I’m talking about making decisions that determine the vector. So in this matter the decision will be made by Putin.

[NordOst16]

This is the biggest trouble of the Russian Federation.

[gaura]

And you, of course, do not allow direct sabotage of HIS decisions in your thoughts? We had only 10 people in the branch of the large IT company, and they were biting among themselves. You do not even allow the thought of what kind of squabble can be on high-paying places in the government?
You have from one extreme to another. Either the king is good, the boyars are bad. Or vice versa, the king is bad, the boyars are extras. I fundamentally disagree, cadres have always decided everything. Even the example of Britain, where a very clear structure is built, this can be seen.

[raw174]

Quote: gaura

You have from one extreme to another. Either the king is good, the boyars are bad. Or vice versa, the king is bad, the boyars are extras.

Rather, it’s not so, in my opinion, the Tsar is responsible for strategy, for the vector of movement, the boyars act locally in their directions ... In terms of a specific decision (investment in US bonds), Putin himself will decide.

The power in the Russian Federation is the oligarchy and Putin is just a hired manager of the oligarchy of the Russian Federation.

These adherents of the KhPP or the lackeys of the Russian oligarchy come up with complex constructions according to which: “The Tsar is good, the boyars are bad”, but every time they get out some kind of unexpected person or bummer. But if you simplify the design (according to Marx), everything immediately falls into place and predict future events like 2 fingers on asphalt.

[Kent0001]

So already, it’s ... we’re rattling: the course is wild, despite rising oil prices, it’s just impossible to look at the price-free price tag, like the price tags for good goods in stores ... everything is fine with us. I’m glad for the bridge, but Russia does not live as a single bridge.

So there will be more harm from him, and in the place of the auditor there may even be benefits. Kudrin’s opinion will be taken into account, but the decision, I think, has already been made. Not for nothing that the ruble is untied from the dollar, devalued without taking into account the views of the Fed, reduce the dollar stash and investments in US bonds. I think that the process has moved slowly, but. And the opinion of Kudrin? The elephant also probably took into account the opinion of Moska ...

Yes, I do not argue, under the Union, education was cheaper. This year I will take my daughter to grade 1, and my son to kindergarten (in December), the fee for the garden is 850 rubles, the school is free (for workbooks about 2 thousand you just need everything), we have a technical school that gives workers specialties ( welders, mechanics, etc.), absolutely free of charge, there is even a scholarship for good studies ... Higher, yes, paid, but there are budget places in almost all universities.

Now in medicine there are big problems with staff, I do not argue, especially in our village. I handled the injury (the dog bit off part of the finger), did it for free and well, my wife gave birth almost a year ago, full control, good attitude and everything is free, we liked it, we are going to give birth again in three months))) My grandfather (84 years old) recently performed abdominal surgery, also for free. I haven’t gone bankrupt for medicine yet ...

Now it is quite accessible. Last year I issued a mortgage, then refinanced it, now 9,4% is a full payment, after 5 years it will be generally a penny ... I took an apartment in a two-apartment building, on the ground with a bathhouse and other buildings, 120 sq.m. satisfied. My sister took an apartment in Chelyabinsk, also in a mortgage, also acceptable conditions. Although this is also a private matter, some do not count their strengths and are torn, but this is a household financial illiteracy ...

You can continue, however ..

[Vladivostok1969]

Judge your life. Remember how personally you and your loved ones lived 20 years ago, and 10 years ago? Is it getting worse or better? It seems to me that it’s better ... Of course, you can scream that everything is lost, everything failed, but touch each separately and it turns out that everything is not so bad ... Take crises, they are periodic and less and less affect ordinary people ... I don’t I pay and I do not advise you to shed tears ... The living conditions of SIMPLE people are improving! (do not throw a photo of homeless people)

Have your children been vacationing in the camp for a long time in the summer, while you weren’t afraid that they would drown? Did you go to the holiday home for a long time? And when was the last time you met a pensioner in a good mood, who did not think that he would be there tomorrow. And I don’t I cry, but I want to live with pleasure.

This year the daughter will go. It won’t drown, the camp is in the forest))) The pioneer camp (it is called so now) has been operating since the 50s or 60s, I rested there in childhood ... the 21-day season costs 1700 rubles, the main thing is there is no Internet ! You can go to a more prestigious and developed one, also in our region, there the price is about 3-5 thousand, in my opinion.

Quote: Vladivostok1969

Have you been to a holiday home for a long time?

To be honest, I have the opportunity, but I have no desire ... There are sanatoriums with us: Uvildy, Bannoye, Abzakovo, we’ll probably go there somehow, until I feel like it. The price is about 20 thousand per person for 10 days, with massages and baths. Many relatives and friends travel.

Quote: Vladivostok1969

And when was the last time you met a pensioner in a benevolent mood, not thinking that he would be there tomorrow.

Yesterday ... My mother is a pensioner. She does not work, does not starve ... There is a subsidiary farm, a garden, hens, ducks and turkeys. The pension is not large, but quite enough. I have a grandfather for 80 years, his words: "You can live now! They pay a pension, there is electricity, gas, water, everything is there." He likes to repeat it ... I believe him.
I’m not saying that everything is perfect with us, I’m saying that there is progress, the standard of living is growing. The Union had its advantages, but there were also disadvantages! He burst, it is a fait accompli ...

Tatyana, I thought you had your own thoughts.

There are, of course.

Quote: Kotovsky

And I don’t look glamorous talkers, litter.

It is a pity that you refer A. Fursrva to the talkers! I specifically found for you a harmonious scientifically sound answer. There are few specialists like Andrei Fursov.
I am reading the works of A. Fursov. The work is interesting. They illuminate the problem methodologically from a slightly different, more historical, perspective than me.
In other words, in order to reveal the truth, it is necessary from the standpoint of the dialectical materialist method to observe the principle of unity of inductive and deductive thinking. Inductive - this is when they are going specific historical facts and then prognostic hypotheses are built on them according to the principle of historical ANALOGUES. Those., inductive thinking works at the level of specific thinking. Andrei Fursov, a historian by training, speaks excellently. He knows a lot of facts. But to prove the truth, deduction is also needed - deductive thinking - i.e. logically internally consistent calculation of the same problem at the abstract level.
If the independent conclusions of induction and deduction coincide with each other, then the hypothesis can be considered reliable and tested in practice. For the criterion of truth is practice. And only then the hypothesis can be translated into the category of theory. Which, however, then - in a historical spiral in time - must be periodically checked periodically according to the indicated methodological scheme.
Moreover, it is important with what philosophical method Andrei Fursov makes his deductive calculation. On the one hand, Fursov destroys metaphysicians, but on the other hand, he is more spontaneous, but not conscious, inclined towards the dialectical-materialistic method. As a result, my deductive conclusions coincide with him. Moreover, by virtue of his profession, academician Andrei Fursov generates very interesting ideas.

Quote: Kotovsky

And yet, to understand the situation, to whom did you cast your vote? Who was trusted?

For GDP. And before the vote, I was not familiar with the video and the works of Andrei Fursov. I only discovered 2 weeks ago the video of A. Fursov for myself.
With the top of the communist party organizations - I have not been communicating for 2 years already. It is useless to communicate with them: they themselves do not own the diamate method, in m / l. theories of error do not see. Therefore, the alien internal logical consistent conclusions from the point of view of the diamat are perceived with aggressive distrust and thus continue to historically generally give up the socialist positions of past generations one after another. And those who in their leadership understand this are in their team in a state of "white crow".
In general, the late Soviet Communists from the 80-90-ies caught on to defend their homeland from the liberal nomenklatura in their ranks.

On Monday, May 14 received the first book of A. Fursov on the Internet. I study it carefully - and have already ordered myself the next book for reading.

I advise you, Konstantin, still watch this video. Learn a lot of interesting things.

What's so great about him? The author, (just like you, by the way) stigmatizes everyone and everything, hangs up labels without worrying about their slightest justification. Something like a deputy Fedorov.
“Societies controlled from abroad”, “fifth column”, “sixth column tied to the Rothschilds and Rockefellers”, “Putin is not free in his actions” ...
In addition, a person does not know how to solve the problem of corruption other than the introduction of a state of emergency and an emergency commission and the execution of these same corrupt officials. In my opinion, it is on the same level of adequacy with Delyagin and Glazyev. I already spoke about Fedorov.

Therefore, you are not in a position to offer your own objectively critical, scientifically sound, logically internally consistent solution to the problem.
TOTAL You accuse others of the people you named of allegedly sophism - namely, that the politicians you listed allegedly simply use “labels” to representatives of the liberal government. However, at the same time, you yourself also use sophism in the art of polemic, which is called the "argument to the personality" of those whom you named.

TASS, May 15. Russia in March 2018 increased its investment in US government securities to $ 96,1 billion. In February, this amount was 93,8 billion, according to data released on Tuesday by the US Treasury.

According to the agency, over the past year, the largest amount of investments by Russia was made in May - 108,7 billion.

Kudrin is a rotten egg. The chick will not hatch from it. And all the hopes for the success of this group are described in the lines:

You with the bass, Misha, sit down against the viola,
I, prima, will sit against the second;
Then the music will not be the same:
We will dance the forest and mountains! "

The only one who will dance is a simple people who have become stupid to disgrace, believing that the president’s highest activity is not the opportunity to stand at the helm of a ship with the name Russia, but to sit behind the wheel of a KAMAZ truck, showing their involvement with the people:

I want to easily, with the people - like you! Simple guys, which we have at every turn! ...

What, what, but he succeeds. Only this does not wash away the shit from the jacket of the representative of Russia, nor the green stuff from his face ...
The president’s involvement with the traitors and enemies of the Russian state, who, in the performance of their duties, were not able to achieve significant success (that is, success — positive progress) raises deep doubts about the correctness of the chosen course and its benefits for the Russian people.

The growth in stocks of dollars should have been greater, because the price of oil has risen sharply, but the state is deliberately holding it back. Look over the past ten years, the dynamics of gold reserves with a breakdown by composition and especially by changes in monetary gold reserves and $, everything is clear there.

What is the state deliberately holding back? After all, the article did not write about the absolute values ​​of gold and foreign exchange reserves in dollars, but about the fact that the share of these reserves in dollars is increasing!

Quote: Uncle Lee

It would be better if they burned this money, if only they had warmed themselves! And Kudrin is the head!

Vladimir, you are a reasonable person. I read your comments with interest.

Let's take a look at the situation objectively. There is such a document of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation http://www.cbr.ru/statistics/credit_statistics/ii
p / debt_claims_liabilities.xlsx "Currency structure of external debt claims and external debt obligations of the Russian Federation". (taken from here http://www.cbr.ru/statistics/?ch=PAR_30241&pr
tid = svs # CheckedItem)
This is the structure of Russia's external debts by debt currency.

Interesting conclusions can be drawn from the section TOTAL
First, in two years, the amount of dollar debts in Russia decreased by $ 47 billion from $ 350,257 to $ 303,821 billion.
Secondly, there is a gradual replacement of external debt by internal: debts in the national currency increased from $ 82,123 to 138,143 billion.
Thirdly, debt in euros is growing: from $ 65,296 to $ 80,446 billion.

Those. there is a gradual exit of Russia from dollar debt. And I like it.
From the point of view of the economy, reserves must be kept in proportion to the structure of own debts in order to minimize exchange rate risks. Therefore, having 74% of the total debt, it is dollar debt ($ 303,821 out of 539,336 billion as of October 01.10.2017, 74), unfortunately Kudrin is right (I am not his fan either), there is currently no alternative to keeping XNUMX% of Russia's reserves in dollars .

[Uncle lee]

In dollars or in securities?
And best of all in gold!

[Cube123]

In gold, it's always good But the price of gold is set in London and cannot be controlled from Russia. Therefore, the size of Russia's reserves in this case is unpredictable and can be controlled from the outside.

If the main debt is in dollars, and, apparently, Trump’s policy was taken to depreciate the dollar, then a dollar fall will depreciate the amount of debt.

[Vadim237]

Or it can be stored in diamonds - in a special storage.

[Cube123]

Quote: Vadim237

Or it can be stored in diamonds - in a special storage.

Will you also give loans with diamonds? If you store assets in something that is not what you owe, then at the time of debt repayment or interest repayment, you must first sell your asset for the currency in which you owe, and only then repay the debt. Moreover, it will have to be sold at the price that the buyer of the asset agrees to pay, and this value is always unpredictable. Those. unpredictable exchange rate risk arises. And when you keep reserves in what you owe, you have the opportunity to predict risks and manage your debts.

than from the guys in the economy who have no idea whatsoever - paradoxically, Kudrin is right.

Please tell us how positively affects the Russian economy the withdrawal of money from it?

[Nix1986]

This dumpkopf even went to the same kickstarter ?! There is no alternative if you want to invest money and not work in any way, alas, squeeze the land, build a shopping center or a business center and rent and sit exactly on the pope, the dream of the huckster of the 90s of the early 2000s. On the one hand, we are crying about difficulties with lending to a business; on the other, they say that there is no alternative to US bonds. Circus.

[pepel]

Investing in the US public debt is already for Kudrin DIAGNOSIS !!!

[samarin1969]

Only "ideological" nonsense like "forums" can be shown live. But the conversation of people's representatives on the most important issue is the secret for the "initiates". But even with these words it is obvious who is the power, and who are meek "servants ..." it is not clear what. It was the deputies who had to set tasks for Kudrin, and if he didn’t agree, they would simply drive him away ...

[bsk_mna54]

Why the hell did this devil take the fate of Russia? Such "figures" are always capable of ditching, a lot of intelligence is not necessary, but to restore the economy in a quarter century is by the foot. When will these liberals and shit be completely destroyed, or will they live, but the people will not? Putin is all leading to this. His verbiage is shocking!

[rotmistr60]

at the moment he sees no alternatives

What kind of alternative can be discussed if he (Kudrin) soul and body in his beloved "liberal" world and of course on the top of a hill in the United States. He did not even consider possible alternatives.

[Vladivostok1969]

body and soul in his beloved "liberal" world

Quotation marks seem to me out of place. Kudrin is a real liberal. And he never denied it.

In place of the chief auditor, this will be very useful. Because every speck in the eye will see.
And about Amer’s papers, he answers as an economist, not as a politician. They are (at the moment) the most profitable and reliable of government securities.

[rocket757]

Suppose amersky paper is not the most profitable, this is a choo-choo-choo-error. It is believed that they are highly profitable, with a high degree of reliability!
Is it true to understand who is considered and who has proven reliability ???
And Kudrin shaw, he is stable from the point of view of upholding specific economic rules / laws, is this a plus ???

In the early fifties of the last century, children were shown the benefits of appointing such "auditors" and "economic strategists":

[Mwg]

"Thus, the Russian financial system continues to not only make investments in American debt, but also to increase these investments." - pure substitution of the concept. The previous phrases stated: "... by the end of 2017, the share of Russian gold and foreign exchange reserves in US dollars increased from 40,4% to 45,8%. At the same time, the share of gold reserves in euros decreased significantly."
It turns out “in this way” that the Russian Federation reduced the volume of gold and the euro and replaced them with dollars, all in all. And does not increase investment. And rightly so: let the United States keep its candy wrappers.
In general, the share of gold and foreign exchange reserves of Russia in US dollars should be brought up to 100%, if there is no way to pick them up in the Russian Federation

[Vasyan1971]

"Kudrin: There is no alternative to investing in American debt today."
"... at the moment he (Kudrin) sees no alternatives."
So there is no alternative or does Kudrin not see her? And in the summer of 1941 would Kudrin also see no alternative but to surrender? In the "soft form".

[jovanni]

Kudrin has long counted everything. And why would the bourgeoisie not call him the best again! A pump that pumps grandmothers from Russia ...

[Per se.]

In a mild form, he (Kudrin) made it clear that he considers the placement of gold reserves and state savings in American securities to be quite acceptable.

[free]

We are waiting for comments from the stubborn!

[Vladimir K.]

This does not concern him now. And by the way, is he ready to bear personal responsibility in case of freezing, and possibly confiscation, on a far-fetched pretext, of this money? There, Iran was fined 7 yards for not having been proved by his authorities !!! that they are not related to the terrorist attack of September 11.09.2001, XNUMX. For Russia, a similar reason can be found even faster.

[Abram]

Kudrin’s cunning plan is to strangle the United States and give so much that they cannot service the debt

[Vadim237]

Such a plan at the moment is only similar in China - more than a trillion investments in the United States.

in general, some kind of rebus turns out .. Kudrin officially works for Putin, but for America, Putin is officially against America but for Kudrin

[Graz]

Yes, this counter must be put against the wall, our banks are looking for long loans because of sanctions, and because of this enemy of the people they keep money in the USA, some kind of wrecking

[serg123]

If you do not develop your economy, but the American, then yes. Then what is the point of having a high-tech economy in general, it is enough to service the pipe. Does this not remind of something near from our history?

Amazing position. There is a Russian Academy of Sciences, an economic department, and the Institute of Economic Forecasting of the Russian Academy of Sciences (academician Ivanter V.V.). Where is their opinion on this subject and the blizzard? After all, we have a civilized state, the people want the development of the economy, and not its inhibition.

So engage in economic development - start with yourself, open your own business.

[23rus]

Accumulation is a good thing, but I would like to know WHY?

[Old Horseradish]

Total nonsense and lies. There is no truth from the word at all. Now they will kill pensioners who will not receive their pensions, and grandmothers will throw, as they hang noodles to us, "sworn enemies of Russia." Those. USA.

"Putin was again caught in a lie: Back in 2005, the president promised never to raise his retirement age

The question of raising the retirement age in Russia is being discussed more and more often, and not without reason it seriously worries citizens, because many still remember the promise of Vladimir Putin, which he made as president in 2005.
Let's remember what the president said then. So, in 2005, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that this issue is primarily associated with the demographic situation, as well as with the fact that there are more working pensioners in Russia. The current demographic situation, the president said then, can create certain difficulties for the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. Another factor he called lower than in Europe, the total life expectancy, which is mainly associated with death at working age. Often this is due to alcoholism, drug addiction, and industrial injuries. All this together creates problems, however, then Putin assured that while he is the president of the Russian Federation, he will not allow raising the retirement age, and all conversations around this are conducted solely to stimulate citizens.

What we have today, because in 2018 it can become not just empty talk, but a reality. Increasingly, officials are raising the issue of raising the retirement age. In particular, Dmitry Medvedev said that one way or another, the government should take this step. "

[dik-nsk]

In fairness - there is no need to take a phrase out of context, there are two statements in his words - life expectancy is low, while I am president - there will be no increase .. at the moment, life expectancy has increased significantly (approximately, too lazy to look - from 63-65 to 70-73 ), therefore one of the conditions has changed .. so don’t need to be "caught lying"

[Old Horseradish]

Go sweet man to the cemetery. See how many young people are. So you don’t need nonsense about increasing life expectancy.

[kaschey]

It is interesting to see how much finance Kudrin invested in US debt.
And the idea is simply wonderful - to invest your salary in the debts of your competitor, good luck in this field to him.
Although the salary in this case, to put it mildly, is not his.

[Gardamir]

Offending Kudrin and Medvedev, are you ready to repeat your words to the one who appointed these two? Or are they self-appointed?

[rocket757]

Our power is anti-people in its very essence. Nothing new.
The top of the country serves the interests of the fat .... is an integral part of the exploiters, also not news.
They talk about it a lot where. It’s just that it doesn’t change anything; Empty chatter.

[CAT BAIYUN]

Gentlemen .. Why is Kudrin not yet in jail? Anyone in the know?

[Vadim237]

Because unlike any other "know-it-all" in macroeconomics on the forums - he is a real, cold, professional in his field, with extensive experience in Russian macroeconomics.

[Gardamir]

cold, professional

you called the chief financier scumbag?

[Vadim237]

He simply is not subject to impulsive decisions and opinions that someone who does not like something does as the market system requires.

[Amateur]

Elbasy Kazakh already bent, freezing grandmother. But Kudrin probably does not know about it. And GDP with DAM is the same.

[Romanenko]

If Kudrin does not see an alternative with the investment of Russian funds, can give him a kick in the ass, before it is too late, but look for a more worthy candidate for this place ???

[Altona]

Quote: midshipman

After all, we have a civilized state, the people want the development of the economy, and not its inhibition.

---------------------------
The opinion of the liberal clan is a priori considered "scientifically sound." Kudrin, for us, is also the "best minister of economics" and the developer of strategic concepts, scientific titles and regalia, probably not one bag.

[Altona]

Quote: Romanenko

The government works in the interests of 5% of the population maximum, and for these 5% the whole concept is archaic. It’s important for Cypriots to keep their candy wrappers, patriots' incomes do not worry them much. There they are not going to share excess profit from oil.

[Shurale]

In any company, a person in his position who believes that development is worse than investing in competitors ’securities would have been dismissed long ago, but the logic does not apply to our leadership. When a person meets a person whose actions are not logical and not adequate, he tries not to communicate with him and generally keeps away from him. And we have those in the leadership of the country. What shall we do?

[Turkestan]

And yet, someone popularly in a simple working RUSSIAN language can explain why Russia is investing its capital in the US economy? Who will answer if tomorrow this capital is FROZEN? Why is this capital not used in the interests of the ECONOMY of the Russian Federation? Maybe the answer is one. The world bourgeoisie is not interconnected by PUBLIC financial, economic obligations, where personal enrichment is the primary task and they wanted to spit on the interests of their country and people.

[Monarchist]

MY opinion: do not invest all funds in the ACB. Popular wisdom says: "Do not put all the eggs in one basket." But to a certain extent, Kudrin: is it good or bad (now it’s not about that), but EVERYTHING and EVERYTHING closes on the dolor and if you sharply come out of the dolor, you can DIE EVERYTHING. Take China, and there the guys are smart, they could pack amers in baskets and in the sea, as Mao was going to, but hesitated. Then, when the Yugoslavia was bombed, the Americans snooped into the Chinese embassy and the Chinese ZERO ATTENTION Pound recognition. And all because EVERYTHING is closed on a dolor.
I remembered a funny picture (I can’t spread it and I don’t have it at hand): a heron swallows a frog, and a frog grabs a chain by the throat. So I thought, maybe it’s a specialist: after all, Amers are also not interested if the investments decrease sharply? Of course, you need WILL.

[Brother]

Well, well... Kudrin's appointment... this is a movement... hmm "in front"
...just as a detail - at the end of 2017, the share of Russia's gold and foreign exchange reserves in US dollars increased from 40,4% to 45,8%.... The first thing that Americans do is simply to get rich, rob other countries and live comfortably themselves - they arrest state assets which they believe are “behaving WRONGLY”...... This happened with the richest country Libya... it was simply robbed. NOTHING! does not prevent the Americans from doing the same to us.
...and also...the former Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation And Kudrin - namely - the United States at one time was called almost the best Minister of Finance in the world. This is a very important indicator.
Hmm... all that remains is to return the chief defense specialist Serdyukov with his faithful and effective companion Vasilyeva... and we will defeat EVERYONE! Hurray!
Hmm...does Russia need to “build itself”
...hmm, this is very reminiscent of a card game with a sharper, and moreover, the sharper dictates the “laws” of this very game, changing them at any time simply because HE NEEDS IT SO! It’s simply not possible to win or lose – “to death”.

Oh, these tales about “built into the global economy” ... you tell them on the instructions of those who shape you - what and how to write. Do they pay well?

[Gennady Berezhnov]

It will continue to muddy the waters. Medvedev couldn’t have come up with anything better. That's why the US praised him.
