In the American Fitch praised the Russian Federation for a "reasonable budget strategy" and raised the sovereign rating

68
The collective opinion of Western investors that Russia has overcome the economic crisis that it has faced over the past 4-5 years has led to changes in the assessment of the so-called independent rating agencies.


The building of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation




Today it became known that one of such agencies (American), Fitch, decided to raise Russia's sovereign rating. From today, the rating instead of BBB- (“BBC minus”) becomes BBB (“BBC”). The forecast for the Russian economy has been changed to “stable”.

The report said that Russia has secured a political base that will support increased resilience to external shocks and allow the economy to respond less to changes in oil prices. It is added that this base will increase macroeconomic stability.

Thus, the Western rating agency actually declared that the West is completely satisfied with the very “political base” that has now formed in Russia. A very interesting detail, especially against the background of constant talk about the US readiness to expand the sanctions base against Russia. If the "political base of Russia" the West is quite satisfied, then against whom are the sanctions? ..

The Fitch agency itself emphasizes that the likelihood of introducing further anti-Russian sanctions is very high, however, the Russian economy has lined up in such a way that these sanctions will not affect it significantly.

The American Fitch also deigned to praise Russia for its "reasonable budget strategy."

      The Americans constantly praise our government, Nabiullina has recently been patted on the head .. So the question is, who does our government work for, for America or for Russian citizens?

        For example, I liked this more:

          Do you seriously think so? Why is demography a disaster? Beggars 20 mil. etc .. sanctions are hallucinations and the mantra of liberals who constantly want to write off their mediocrity. What sanctions can be - we are the richest country in the world, completely self-sufficient!

              In general, I have the opinion that all this "war" with the Americans is nothing more than dust in the eyes of Russian citizens, so that the liberals can calmly rob Russia with patriotic songs. Just compare the facts, does the enemy keep money during the war? And what about real estate, kids at the elite, what are they doing? It seems like a war, but who owns our largest companies? Do you have an answer to these questions?

                If anyone has children and real estate there, he is also ... an optimist. By the way, can you provide a list of these optimists? I’m just curious who you think is "your elite" laughing

                  Deri-Rybka was simply squeezed out of his business. That's just the trouble .... this business is strategic for the whole country called Russia. So maybe this whole situation and sanctions in order to stupidly squeeze out what is available in Russia? Where is the notorious nationalization? Where "we will soak in the toilet". And I am fed up with Ukraine, Syria, tank biathlon and other nonsense. It would be time to move the screen.

                    Derirybka was deprived of part of the dough that was dripping from this business. And significantly reduced the ability to manage the company. So it will be more correct.

      Over 500 billion gold and foreign exchange reserves speak for themselves. They are almost equal to the total external debt of the state, Central Bank, companies and banks combined. Rating agencies can no longer ignore this. In theory, if they were not tied to politics, then the rating should have been AAA. But if the country sanctioned will have such a rating, then this will be a political slap in the face of Washington. They twist and praise through their teeth a little bit to increase the rating so as not to look stupid. request

            So quickly read and heeded ?! winked 8 minutes on; - counter comment, follow the link, read the article, comprehend and reply comment! This is where Fitch goes into the consciousness that "the right guys are conducting the right policy" -
            the western rating agency actually stated that West is completely satisfied the very “political base” that has now been formed in Russia.
            And here it praises the right strategy -
            The American Fitch also deigned to praise Russia for “a reasonable budget strategy».
            But for what they praise and recommend, according to the proposed article, the IMF recommends -
            “We welcome the plans of the authorities to increase spending on health, education and infrastructure. However this should be done so as not to undermine the credibility of the new budget rule... "" "To build confidence in the rule, it is recommended that you avoid further changes to it., especially after a slight softening last year. To authorities it is also recommended to refrain from quasi-budgetary operations with funds of the National Wealth Fund, and should continue to invest them in high-quality foreign assets"" ""
            Because our economic policy and strategy completely suits them. Through the efforts of the government’s economic bloc, GDP growth for 20 years has been growing by 1% with tears, and it (the government) does not violate the established budget rule (you can’t invest in the economy, but you can invest in their assets), they indulged us with a rating bun that makes it cold hot. So convinced to continue in the same vein.

              Since 2018, a new budget rule has come into force in the Russian Federation. According to it, all oil and gas revenues from oil prices are higher than the base budgeted value, used to purchase currency by the Ministry of Finance and placement in the National Welfare Fund

Conventionally, one office sells another bucks for 50 full-bodied ones, then the rate rises to 60 full-bodied ones for the same bucks and the reverse process is underway. The amount of bucks is the same. But the extra rubles flew out of circulation. They went back and forth with losses. What is the interest for the country?

                      But the extra rubles flew out of circulation. They went back and forth with losses

                      Do not fly out. They stayed at the office that last sold the bucks.

                      Which, in turn, can again buy on them .. yes at least bucks laughing

                      So the "conservation law" hasn't gone anywhere. No.

      About the "hare with a stop signal like '!!! Although a hare hunter, such a stray in the subject! More turn signals add and generally a song, not a hunt! The trouble is, only for a hunter to distinguish a hare from a car !!! laughing

Call the orderlies and they will come to the Russian Orthodox Church, help, together with Napoleon and the Patriarch, defeat the "State Department" and expel the "bulk" Yes

    Yes, these rating pussies about nothing. another is more interesting, since we are talking about the economy. Siemens is seeking Manturov to produce turbines in the Russian Federation with full localization. in the meantime, our GTD100 gas turbine was put into pilot commercial operation at Ivanovo CCP, after a 700-hour uninterrupted bench test. if there are no problems before October, the turbine will go into series.
    Incidentally, among the others, companies from RUSNANO (!) actively participated in the development and operation.

    Well, BBB is far from the limit. Give ten years. To fill up holes on the roads with rubble or not to repair at all this season is an excellent saving. We will make VAT 40%, raise gasoline - it is very cheap, the ruble exchange rate has not been finalized, we need 150 for $ 1, some more "effective" measures and the rating will already strive for AAA.

    A lot is pouring to us
    "Praises" outside,
    At the hour when
    So many troubles we have inside.
    Endlessly trying
    We are naughty
    Glistening faces.
    Or flatter and lie
    And you listen to them and see ....
    How did that happen?
    What year round
    All day
    The media without stopping say
    And basically
    About rubbish ...

    The American Fitch also deigned to praise Russia for a "reasonable budget strategy"

    If this strategy is to accumulate and prevent money from entering into production at a reasonable percentage, then the praise is understandable.
