Vladimir Putin is holding a 14 press conference. Live broadcasts are conducted by the largest federal channels and radio stations. More than 1,7 thousand journalists, not only from Russia, but also from other countries of the world, including the so-called non-CIS countries, received the opportunity to ask their question.
Putin began by highlighting economic indicators: For 10 months, GDP grew by 1,7%, industrial production was about 3% (forecast), investment in fixed assets was 4,1%, 2,6% was turnover and retail trade. Growth in consumer demand - 0,5%. Unemployment was less than 5%. The trade surplus - 190 billion dollars. Gold reserves rose 7% - 464 billion dollars. The budget surplus is 2,1% of GDP. Life expectancy in the Russian Federation from 72,7 to 72,9.
The first question was devoted to the feasibility of national projects. The journalist asked how likely the implementation of these projects.
The president has once again declared that a breakthrough is needed, for which the corresponding organization of work is also needed. According to Putin, those who planned to 2024 year, and they are responsible for the implementation.
This is a clear goal. Without goal setting it is impossible to achieve results. Total 12 national projects, including education, health, science, digital economy. There are issues related to control over execution. There are problems there, but we are working on these problems. And what's the trick? The point is that the programs are federal, and the regions are to be resolved as well. Some say it is impossible. Let them work. If they think that they can not, then let them make room for others to work. I look forward to the consolidated work of the federal government and the regions.
Question from Pavel Zarubin (VGTRK):
Kudrin said that in reality, the economy is growing 10 years just 1%. This is stagnation. You set the task jerk. To do this, you need an increase of 4-5 times higher. But the government claims that more than 2% growth in the near future is impossible. Are you satisfied with the Medvedev team?
Putin:
No need to blame the mirror, if the face is crooked. So we say. After all, Alexey Leonidovich (Kudrin) himself worked as vice-premier. But I trust him, he is a respected person. But there were recessions in the global economy. The downs were in 2008-2009, in 2014-2015. Just so mechanically can not be considered. We must make the economy innovative. In general, yes (pleased with the Medvedev team).
This was followed by the question of the disbandment of the Red Banner Kaczyn School.
Putin:
I do not really understand what was left of this legendary school. The Ministry of Defense builds training, depending on the need for such training. I will consult with representatives of the Ministry of Defense.
