“The exchange rate policy of the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance is killing Russian production”

65
From the point of view of Russia and the traditional Russian economy, there is no worsening of the world conjuncture.

The media transmit the statement of the head of the Ministry of Economic Development Alexei Ulyukayev about the deterioration of the dynamics of economic development in Russia. In his opinion, this is explained by the unfavorable conjuncture of foreign markets, which affected domestic exports. As a result, in 2013, the level of development of the Russian economy was below the world average.

The information published by Ulyukaev is commented for KM.RU by Mikhail Leontyev.

We have not very good prospects for global market conditions.

This is beyond my comprehension! All that Ulyukaev is talking about is the product of the activity, first of all, of Ulyukayev himself. As an ideologist of the Central Bank, responsible for course policy, he certainly should understand this and could not fail to understand this. In terms of Ulyukaev, I exclude the possibility of thoughtlessness, misunderstandings and errors in calculations. Of course, there is not one Ulyukaev here, this is Kudrinism in general, but Ulyukaev is a key figure.

The first. From the point of view of Russia and the traditional Russian economy, there is no worsening of the world conjuncture. Commodity prices are high. If we were Chinese and threw industrial goods at the European market, if we were Americans or Germans and threw goods at the market with very high added value, we could talk about a worsening of the conjuncture.

Yes, we do not have very good prospects for the world conjuncture, I would say, just bad. But current balance and current conjuncture are not created by prospects. Energy prices and, in general, the traditional goods of our exports are very high. They did not fall.

It was the first, and now the second. The competitiveness of the Russian economy is primarily reduced due to the exchange rate policy pursued by the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance. This exchange rate policy has led to a four-fold appreciation of the ruble over the past ten years. This is if you look at the effective exchange rate of the ruble, and we live in an open economy and compete with foreign industrial goods. This kills Russian production, stimulates the consumption of exclusively imported goods.

Prospects I see in a return to common sense in macroeconomic policy

The financial and economic bloc of our government has destroyed all opportunities for its own economic growth in Russia. Credit is unavailable, it is super high, money is expensive. They cannot win inflation, because they persistently struggle by monetary methods against non-monetary inflation, that is, inflation of the costs created by the growth of tariffs of natural monopolies. The exchange rate policy systematically destroys the competitiveness of Russian manufacturers. That's the whole story.

Hence the fall in investment. And who will invest in an economy that is not just uncompetitive, but which systematically reduces its competitiveness through the macroeconomic policies of its own government? We have now begun the process of refusal of foreign automakers to localize. Unprofitable! This is a very typical, very indicative industry. It is more profitable to produce the same in France and Germany. This is prohibitive. And I see prospects in returning to common sense in macroeconomic policy.

      Well, right now! Let's open our arms to Goldman Sachs and Morgan of Bank of America. Where will we put their offices? What are you ?! They have already finished off the states with their policies, and now these foxes are in our chicken coop? Maybe it’s better for us to have a control one in our heads? The Central Bank needs to be dealt with, AHA, I agree. But let them sit in Manhattan. They are too skilled in the undercover "games".

          Even before the appointment of Elvira Nabiulina to the post of Central Bank, everyone assured that with the advent of Nabiulina, interest rates in the Central Bank would reduce, that Nabiulina reflects the interests of Putin. But it turned out on the contrary promised that they would only elect her, and having chosen, she continues to keep high rates, without reducing. It turns out that I threw everyone, now you can’t re-elect it in the next 5 years. Worldwide, refinancing rates are low from about 0.1 to 2-3 percent, hence low interest rates on household loans, and economic development. And it’s cheaper for us to take a loan abroad than at home. The Central Bank makes excuses that it is impossible to lower the refinancing rate, supposedly high inflation, and what prevents it from freezing the tariffs of monopolies, for gasoline, electricity, etc. thereby not giving rise to inflation, lowering interest rates on loans for the population, hence the revival of the economy. It seems that in the Central Bank, the Ministry of Finance, and liberal politicians in the government, Western proteges are doing everything possible to prevent the Russian economy from rising. It smells of treason.

            Well, hopefully not. I would like to focus on the fact that the decision on the rate is not made by the chairman of the Central Bank, but by the board of directors.

              I see in fact, before the election, I said that the rate should be reduced, after I see that the rate has not been reduced for 2 months already. Maybe I don’t understand everything (I’m not strong in economics), but I think that S. Yu. Glazyev should be elected to the Central Bank he is at least not a liberal, but that says a lot.

              I heard, watched his videos, at first believed, then hesitated, now I don’t believe it, because the point of his remarks is that most of the GDPs of the West surround him and they don’t give him much to do. This cannot be, he forms the government and depends on him who will work and who will not, so you can’t relieve yourself of responsibility and shift your failures to the machinations of Westerners and whitewash yourself. I believe that in 3 terms with a skillful approach, the country could be raised even higher. Many GDPs have done both good and bad. I think that people are prima format ova or be Lukashenko raised the country faster.

                He’s been raising for 20 years, he won’t raise it in any way. As Belarus was part of Russia, it remained (economically). He is well done, of course, that he holds such a course, but I do not see much prosperity there. Under the weight of Russia, Lukashenko would have extended his legs.

            Inflation according to Petrov arises from the increase in interest rates in banks, but we are told on the contrary that bankers are poor and should raise rates due to inflation. But let's see the chain. The collective farm takes a loan at 1% per annum and lays down the price of agricultural products at 1% + profit and money for development, takes at 20%, accordingly, the price is. Therefore, the head is to blame, not the legs. Bankers are bloodsuckers, and "our" bank is not ours, this is their bank. It was ours in the USSR, when it was printed on the banknotes that it was a state treasury note. And what is written in modern rubles ?!

                - forget. Why? Remind me? Ok, some recent history. So in 2007, there was a sudden crisis in the US in the subprime mortgage market. In 2008, the crisis escalated, a bunch of banks staggered, Vashovia collapsed, the US government began to fall down Goldman Sachs and ...
                In Kazakhstan, Alliance Bank and BTA Bank have stumbled. The head of BTA M. Ablyazov, without wasting time, cashed out a bunch of cabbage, having inherited in Russia along the way, hit the road to London.
                And at that time, not a single Islamic bank even stumbled, and these Islamic banks began to blow the whole world about it. Idiots! No, that would be silent, to grow up a protective buffer from the special services, to put their faithful people in the governments of their countries, to buy weapons from Russia - they say that the greed of the fryer was ruined. Money became a pity for Russian weapons, good money for good intelligence and security services in their Islamic countries, but it’s a pity to blow the whole world, being essentially naked and defenseless, look, this is a crisis due to the wrong principle of lending, here he is the result - the crisis, but not a single Islamic bank ... Well, hereinafter. Kazakhstan, for example, immediately noticed, Nazarbayev rushed on a tour of the Middle East with gingerbread cookies for Islamic banks.
                And then, suddenly, unexpectedly (and unexpectedly?) "Arab spring", which is still burning and WILL BE ONE in the future, until the source of fire is extinguished. And the source of fire sits in the most powerful military state, and even overseas, you will not really get it, this source.
                There are many versions of the "Arab Spring" - from the fact that amers need chaos, simply because amers love chaos, to getting close to Russia from the south, etc. My version is that the Middle East, as a potentially dangerous competitor in the field of finance, should be destroyed precisely as a financial cluster; a mode of functioning should be created in it, in which no banks can appear. Money loves silence, but if it is very noisy in Tahrir Square, the money will simply go to another place. Where is the peaceful place? Of course, in the States. If the money is counted, it is also calm in China, then Tiananmen, Tibet and Xinjiang Uyghur. You already know about Russia. There are also plenty of smoldering coals in Europe. Thus, only the States.

            Fat cat cats rule the world. Take a look around, do you see production around, engineering, IT production? No - around, loans without red tape at 24-44% per annum, just take it. Why the heck are our production workers with 10%? It’s easier to print money, to drive it into bondage. Legislatively it is necessary to prohibit the issuance of mortgages more than 7%, consumers more than 10%. In the West and China, loans are 3%, so bankers rule our government. Everything obvious lies on the surface, and Mr. Putin has an interest with bankers, otherwise he would have put things in order long ago.

        When it came to choosing the head of the Central Bank, the probability of appointing Glazyev to this post was discussed. And then it was clear that he would not be appointed to this post. Because Glazyev’s vision of a development strategy for the economy in Russia is practically the exact opposite of the liberal approach.

Russia net exporter tј. she is in + with a good balance! Is there really no real reason for inflation and a drop in the exchange rate of the ruble !? The weight of financial systems in Russia is sazdan for manipulation by the economist of Russia to the country of world speculators (Rothschild, Rockferel, Morgan, Schiff, etc.). The WTO and the agreement on $ or € are the same as opening the doors of an apartment for robbing! They steal through $ and € !, which is their most terrible robbery weapon. Secular Bank, MMF and Commercial Bank is just a place where this happens! If you take away your imprint, you can buy your own America several times over from Yudima.

      And this is not included in the conditions of entry into the WTO for any country. The US, too, is not tolerant of extraneous financial institutions in its own country, it is much tougher there than ours.
      And you can’t worry about loans. Now banks are starting to feel that consumers have become more picky and no longer take loans out of their heads, have tasted the bitterness of interest. I have all relatives who have at least one kata (even salary) call and offer loans to these banks, interest rates are reduced, but thank God we do not need. Now they’ll try to credit cards and have to go to finance entrepreneurship, because the gold rush in our country with consumer loans has dried up.

    In the US, inflation is 4%, in the Russian Federation, 12%, which means that the ruble against the dollar should fall in price by 8% every year. And it is not getting cheaper, for the last 10 years it has been walking in the corridor of 28-32 rubles per dollar. This is the artificial appreciation of the ruble. It is very beneficial for exporters, and for local producers it is a sentence. The fact that somewhere else some kind of production is glowing is not our merit, but an oversight of the Chinese "comrades".

          Well, someone definitely didn’t wake up hi . Let's understand:
          Currency wars or competitive devaluation are successive deliberate actions by governments and central banks of several countries to achieve a relatively low exchange rate for their national currency, in order to increase their own export volumes. Increase in export volumes occurs due to decrease in local currency the cost of production of domestic enterprises-exporters and the ability to reduce prices for products of exporters.

            relatively low exchange rate for its national currency
            And I'm about the same. And the ruble is artificially rise in price. Will we figure it out further? fellow

            PS In the original post, “exporters” (as I understand it) meant foreign manufacturers as opposed to domestic ones, and you decided that you mean domestic manufacturers exporting products to other countries. So?

              It seems so
              but it is very beneficial for exporters, and for local producers this is a sentence.
              It was not very clear, it was about rubles, and in this light it would be more correct to call exporters "Importers". And there is one more nuance, which cannot be ignored:
              US inflation 4%
              - This is an understated figure. I read this (don’t ask, some economist, I don’t remember.) Since 1990, the dollar has fallen by 300%. Again, it’s worth clarifying: the colonial dollar! the inside is different there.

      For a normal enterprise with normal leadership, the course does not play a role.
      And if you sharpen the same matryoshka for 50 years, then yes the Chinese are crying for you.
      And if you (the management) turn on the brains and start releasing nesting dolls (offhand: with a smell, with music, with a fridge for vodka, with a clock and so on), then you are the market leader yourself and dictate the price of sales and your profit, respectively, since competitors are far in the pope.

        nesting dolls are primitive. we produce telecommunications equipment, in 1998 when the dollar jumped, the equipment imported from abroad "suddenly" became 4 times more expensive, naturally local telecom operators switched to us. these were the fattest years.
        And it is profitable for our exporters to trade in raw materials to keep a solid ruble, they win by paying taxes.

      MOSCOW, September 20. / ITAR-TASS /. Vladimir Putin signed a decree appointing Vladislav Surkov an assistant to the president of the Russian Federation, the Kremlin’s press service said today.

      The decree comes into force on the day of its signing. According to the document, Surkov will perform the duties of Tatyana Golikova, whom Putin dismissed today and who was appointed by the State Duma as the head of the Accounts Chamber. "Surkov will be in charge of absolutely the same issues that Tatyana Golikova supervised, holding the post of assistant to the President of the Russian Federation," the correspondent said. ITAR-TASS press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov.

      The authorities have a strong influence of "puppeteers" who benefit from these "faces" who fulfill the order for destruction. These "faces" were introduced even during the EBN and Putin will have to "clean up these Augean stables" for a long time. A completely new economic course is needed, one that does not depend on the dollar and the international mafia. It seems that the entire industry and agriculture is being destroyed in favor of foreign capital (due to competition in someone else's gates) and only the raw material component is "strengthening".
      << if you look at the effective exchange rate of the ruble, and we live in an open economy and compete with foreign manufactured goods. This kills Russian production, stimulates the consumption of exclusively imported goods >> And for sure, who will invest in a non-competitive economy! On the example of China, the economy is booming and investing there is profitable, you can get big profits from investors from this.

    Blah blah blah. The enemies are killing the economy, the industry too. If they wanted to kill, they would have killed it in 500 days. Some older people remember how it is done. And every gopher in the field is an agronomist. It’s just that moaners screaming at me about the superpolymers have already killed me. I do not think that at the present stage of history, the Russian authorities are defending the interests of the West, and until they are informed of all gophers as freshwater arthropods to China. Another thing is that the interests of the elites may not coincide with the interests of the people, but this is a completely different movie. The eternal question of the exploiters and the exploited was at one time laid out on the shelves by K. Marx. Surprise is unnecessary here. IMHO of course. Respectfully.

    I read the article and comments - smiled.
    Of course, I will not say for everyone, but in my opinion, the problem of interest rates is not in the first place in business. Business is more concerned (this is of course my point of view and I do not pretend to play any huge role here):
    - high taxes;
    - administrative and other obstacles;
    - lack of state support;
    - defenselessness against all kinds of raiders who want to profit if they see a tidbit business.
    And the problem with interest rates is just a derivative of the risks that we have today.

    The financial and economic block of our government has destroyed all the possibilities of our own economic growth in Russia. The loan is unavailable, it is superhigh, money is expensive

    The Central Bank performs the function of withdrawing real money from the Russian economy and pumping it to the states. Therefore, he does not give cheap loans for the development of the Russian economy. In essence, he performs fiscal functions.

    Good day to all!
    I allow myself to cite an excerpt from an interview held in 1986-87 in Prague with the late Miroslav Doleici, where he leads a different "POWER" assessment of the modern financial system (applied the last two centuries).
    ...
    - Depending on what you say, I think your view of modern society is very pessimistic. The rich become richer, to the extent that a narrow group of people will receive unlimited power over the whole society. These most in danger are human freedom itself anywhere in our world.
    In your opinion, is there a way out of this situation?
    What hope does an honest person have in this world?
    Doleishi:
    - I will answer in a slightly wider aspect. All economic theories that support Marx's thesis that capital has a real price are nonsense.
    Today’s policy is based on three principles:
    - credit
    -% of loan
    - and retention of capital.


    I will explain you the model: with the help of money, I will cause a revolution or international war.
    The inhabitants who will be involved in them are impoverished. They will be in trouble.
    I will offer the state, which befell a war or revolution, a loan with% according to these conditions.
    The government of such a state is forced to accept such a loan if it really wants to renew life in their country. And I know that they can never repay this loan to me. Then there will be penalties.
    As a banker, I will begin to demand payment of a loan in the agreed term. Since my commercial partner is not able to pay me, I will give him a new loan to pay interest.
    And so everything repeats ad infinitum.
    This mechanism is consistent with the financial policies of the MMF, the World Bank, etc.

    These are operations typical for owners of financial capital that today (1996 / note translator) have over 86% of world capital.
    That's because of these reasons these financiers are interested in the emergence of plutocracy under the pretext of democracy, which today exist in the USA, Great Britain and other Western European countries. (as well as in the post-ATS and post-USSR, with the exception of the Republic of Belarus / translator's note)

    Those who have money rule in societies where they were able to convince that money has a real price.
    At present, however, we can buy less and less for them.
    In this phenomenon lies our hope.

    We presume that, for example, in 1915 I could “buy for myself” Trotsky and Lenin, they reproduced the socialist revolution.
    I could buy Hitler and others for myself. They reproduced the World War.
    Just like then, today I was able to buy myself Havel, Dienstbier, Klaus or Kotsaba (Havla, Dienstbiera, Klausa či Kocába) and others, but they did not reproduce anything.
    The fact of devaluation of the only means becomes visible. who rules the world for 200 years.

    There can be only one explanation for this - that the calculation with the influence of money is clearly erroneous.

    To take into account this fact means to get rid of this means, that is, to get rid of the world financial system,
    which is currently smothering modern civilization.
