Vladimir Putin devoted his speech to the country's internal problems
Vladimir Putin began his speech with the phrase that the message this year is primarily devoted to internal issues of the country. The tasks set before the country are long-term, he said, but it is necessary to work on strategic goals today. Putin called on the government to set the tone for energy and coherence for the implementation of national objectives.
More specifically, Putin turned to the question of the demography of Russia. According to him, today Russia has entered a difficult demographic period. In order to restore the natural growth of the population, Putin called on the authorities to assist with the birth of children, pay maternity capital, increase child care benefits, etc.
The President urged to reduce the tax burden on the family. The principle is simple: more children - less taxes. He proposed to increase the federal benefit on real estate tax for large families. The government and the Central Bank need to hold the line to reduce mortgage rates, first to 9 percent, and then to 8 percent and below, the head of state said. Families who have given birth to a third child are invited to write off 450 thousand "mortgage" rubles.
Vladimir Putin called for efforts to overcome the poverty of the population. To protect people, Putin proposed introducing additional legislative guarantees, for example, mortgage vacations for citizens.
The president urged everyone who works in the social sphere, state or municipal service, to show respect to citizens in words or actions.
According to the head of state, for the first time in stories Russian reserves cover foreign debt, both government and commercial.
The main directions for economic growth:
an increase in non-extractive exports in 1,5 times in 6 years;
improving the business climate so that no one escapes to other jurisdictions;
removing infrastructure barriers;
development of personnel base.
