Surprises from the Russian economy

30
American agency Bloomberg published a ranking of developing countries and put Russia in second place after Malaysia. The top three was also China, which follows our country. The gap, according to Bloomberg, is big.





According to this study, Russia managed to climb five points up, which for many was a complete surprise.

In compiling the rating, factors such as gross domestic product growth, economic growth forecasts, credit ratings, and stock and bond markets were taken into account.

After analyzing the pace of Russian economic growth, the compilers of the rating actually recognized that the introduction and extension of sanctions by the United States and the European Union does not interfere with the development of our country. Their main goal - to bring down the economy of Russia - was never achieved.

Russia continues to be a country with a low external debt and growing gold reserves. This makes it possible to pay off any debts without resorting to external borrowing.

However, this does not mean that everything is rosy in our economy. This suggests that Russia is able to continue to successfully develop in the absence of any external shocks.

Obviously, the lifting of sanctions against our country will only accelerate its economic growth. That is why in the near future, no one will cancel the sanctions.

      It is necessary to compare the standard of living of the poorest citizen of the country ... janitors, a nanny, a dishwasher and then.
      The average salary in Russia, I figured it was 500 dollars at relatively similar prices for goods in stores in Europe and at 1500-2000 dollars of salary in the USA ... so we still stomp and stomp to their standard of living.
      And there should be no wild income inequality between the citizens of Russia ... the golden parachutes for managers should be canceled altogether ... this disgrace for a normal person.
      And the higher the stratification of our society, the greater the risks for the repetition of revolutions and riots ... in Russia, everything goes to this.

        Obviously, the lifting of sanctions against our country will only accelerate its economic growth.

        But I see something else. The tougher sanctions will sweep away from the Russian market all the "cheap things" that have joined in order to quickly make a profit and free up space for domestic producers, give strength and funding to our scientists and developers. And further. It is necessary to carry out economic reforms by looking back at the best practices, and not at the opinion of the bats and naphthalene accountants who destroyed the Soviet economy (because it was necessary to urgently get rid of the communist legacy). At the same Putin gatherings, young people talk about such prospects that it becomes surprising how much this "old, blank cartridge" will be inserted into military economic weapons.

        They wrote a very small salary in the USA, you won’t live on such a salary. First, they don’t deduct the tax immediately, as we do, but we must declare and give it ourselves, almost half of it remains, and you won’t survive without medical insurance, with their prices in medicine. Live only in the woods in trailers, a communal apartment well at least 500.

But I was told at work on Monday that the company (where I work) will cut one division next year and close a branch in Krasnodar .... and for the workers they have prepared "New Year's gifts": 1-from the "new year" we go to shortened working day for an indefinite period with "fixed" (reduced) wages, 2- "thirteenth wages" will not be, 3- "New Year's corporate parties" will not be ..... In general, everything is "Bloomberg-style." .. ... wink

          Partially. These sanctions, as I said, have not yet been introduced. Your helicopters and tanks are still being produced on bourgeois equipment and if the bourgeois stop supplying cutting materials for this equipment, for example, you will have to file the Mi-8 with a file. And literally.

              1. When the bourgeois and only they introduce them. China is still weak technologically and financially.
              2. China was shown where the fish urinated by planting the findector of a small company. Let's see which of the Chinese companies violates the bourgeois sanctions if they were introduced against Russia. The answer is known to both of us.

                  You are mistaken again. Opportunities more and more. For example, the acclaimed Glonas where, due to threats of sanctions, you are forced to return back to the old satellites where you are completely dependent on China. There will be sanctions and there will be no satellite at all. And there are more and more such spheres. Globalization is like any other 2 side coin.

                    Professor, well, as always, you’ll omit the little things ... the court is Canadian and it will be decided whether the Chinese woman will be extradited to the United States and whether Canadians will take this into account, given the pressure from the Chinese, is a big question.
                    As for Glonass smile a holy place is never empty ... the niche with which the Europeans have left and the Americans will be occupied by the Chinese ... there is not much difference .. we are dependent on the Chinese to the same extent as they are on us in other areas of the economy ... well, grain. .. there is a line of domestic combines produced in Russia ... so this is not a critical problem.

                      Alexei, you missed the point. US do not give a damn about a Chinese woman. It is important for them that the sanctions imposed by them be respected by China and the USA have achieved their goal. Plant or let go of this Madame does not matter. The USA taught a lesson, and China learned this lesson.

                      Do not replace. The Chinese woman in Canada is an example of this. Your market is not worth the risk. You have only 2% of global GDP. What are we talking about?

        No, at the end of the year we usually had the bonus in the amount of the "rate" (without the "gray" part) and we called it the "thirteenth salary". The corporate party was at the expense of the company, each branch had its own. Now all this is gone. And they said it would be even worse. The fact is that our Russian clients simply do not have money to pay for contractual deliveries - the "nuts are squeezed" so that currency cannot be purchased according to the gray scheme - "cashing", but on a loan with "barrage rates" - "extortionate interest" - and so everything is in credits for the most I can not, but pay off. The circle has closed, some of our clients in general decided to go bankrupt and refinance: the owners themselves with the rest of the money - "to the Canary Islands", and the people - to the street.

    This was probably the biggest surprise for our liberal government: they were strangling-strangling, strangling-strangling, and suddenly in second place!
    And if without sarcasm, then such a statement about a high rating seems to be a major disinformation for the internal stabilization of the country, a kind of "helping hand of a Western partner", and a sign from observers to our ministers - "you are going the right way, comrades."
