In the framework of the model that our macroeconomic bloc implements, we must forget about Russia!

72
The media transmitted a statement from the Chairman of the Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina about a slowdown in economic growth. According to her, the old model of development has exhausted itself and the growth rate at the level of 1,5-2% is becoming the norm. Commentary by Mikhail Leontiev.

“What are the 2% growth with the current economic model ?! We must not forget about 2% and not about 5%, but about Russia! In the framework of the model that our macroeconomic block is implementing, we must forget about Russia. Well, it does not work for you in Russia!

Nabiullina hints at “Kudrinism,” that is, at liberalizing relations with business, at the investment climate, and the like. All this, perhaps, would give rise to investment in a situation of good external conditions. But the current problems that have arisen within the framework of the old model are connected with macroeconomic policies, and I am ashamed of Nabiullina, who understands this, but due to changes in her official status, she has to voice completely different things. The problem of a sharp slowdown of the Russian economy in a very harmonious (in its degeneratism) macroeconomic policy. It is built on the appreciation of money, on the pseudo-fight against inflation and on an absolutely absurd exchange rate policy.

I’m not saying that our financial structures are deliberately annoying the ruble, although there are such suspicions, because it is beneficial in this model. It is beneficial because the conversion of ruble earnings inside the country into foreign currency assets takes place. The better the ruble exchange rate, the better the conversion rate. If you spend an effective devaluation on 50%, you will receive half as much money. Why do you need efficiency when you have to pay for it with your own money? These factors bury the economy, and there are no other factors.

Yes, we have many problems in the economy and we can talk a lot about labor productivity, but the external situation is favorable for us, and the economy is buried in the ground due to macroeconomic policies that make any activity that imports compete with uncompetitive. In Russia, only that activity that is protected from import is possible. This is a defense order, some types of services that are difficult to import by technological parameters, perishable products and the like. Everything else is impossible to do. It is economically absurd to localize automotive assembly production in Russia, even if investors have a keen desire for it. In the framework of macroeconomic policy it is impossible

So all this talk about 2% and so on is just a sermon in an insane asylum. Moreover, within the framework of the model, you drive power to a dead end, since any necessary devaluation brings down consumer ambitions of the population. At the same time, you are killing national competitive production, and the state is doing an accomplice to this social policy. By the way, we also have a banking system that borrows money abroad, then spreads the money here, and then converts it again. This system of the day does not exist with a serious devaluation: after all, the obligations are in currency, and the system goes into bankruptcy. The ruble is an intermediate link that allows you to earn income. We find ourselves in a situation worse than Greece, which needs to be devalued, but cannot devaluate the euro, and we find ourselves captive to the model, although it has its own currency and its sovereignty. ”

      Economic growth is utopia

      This has been clear since the 90 of the last century.

      if such things began to be said by the "mouthpieces" of the current government - this is good - it is worth waiting for changes.

      Namely - a shift of the economic model - protection of the domestic producer - the creation of conditions under which production will become more profitable than import.

      Russia has huge potential for economic growth - import substitution - by the way, when (if) it really begins to happen, then investments in the real sector of the economy will go.

      and so in the concept of "our-theirs" economists - investments are a project designed for instant profit - borrow money - immediately lend them back - borrow again - convert the difference - money makes money (profitability is the same as for Gazprom)

        Well, the economy can not grow without the utmost, it is a fiction.
        Each country reaches a certain limit - further growth is 0.0001%.
        This happened approximately in developed countries, then they begin to invest surplus finances in other countries in order to receive new income.
        After all, in fact, everything is elementary, and you do not need to be seven spans in the forehead to understand this.
        There used to be such a subject "political economy (ka)" - everything is explained very simply.

          But who said that our economy was growing ?! We have a growing resource rent! Manufacturing industries have grown a little ... but very little, because rent is taken out as if nuclear waste! They are afraid to see that money will pollute everything here. It is impossible to get money for the production of something, the percentage does not allow. You have to make a fool of it, then there will be enough profitability, and even then there’s no way.
          And if by some miracle he dodged, made money to start production, you won’t expand if you were anyone. There we have security equipment produced NPF Bolid. Excellent equipment, which outweighed the bourgeois due to price and quality, almost occupies 70% of the Russian market. And you know what? Every fall - an ambush! For months we have to wait for a large batch, the guys can’t cope. Successful manufacturer! Choking in the loop of poverty, no money for expansion and modernization! Though you’ll be completely clean! What is the growth of the economy, it is unclear how we are even producing something ...

            Both in Ukraine and in Russia there is such a value-added tax, so if you ask any economist to clearly explain the essence of this tax, he will not do it, because in this case it must be recognized: VAT is a tax on taxes and its main task is to transfer money from industry to trade. Because there’s a supermarket at a supermarket, and look for production. By the way, this applies to Europe too, production there doesn’t grow and 1-2% growth is considered an achievement. It’s clear that there are still a lot of negative nuances, but VAT is a coffin for industry. Why doesn’t anyone pay attention to this? Already a lot of dough settles in the pockets of specific individuals both from cashing in and from reimbursement.

          Unclear. If there is a limit, where does the growth of 0.0001% come from, and why such a percentage? Where did you get this? It invests mainly in private capital - it is pursuing profit, not economic growth. The state invests abroad, for the most part, to support domestic exporters as well as for political reasons.

        In order for the economic model to change, we still need to put this on our side! And then the government does not see the deficiency of decisions.
        In order to become profitable it is necessary to completely change the Tax Code. Changing the financial policy, urging us to invest Western capital in the manufacturing part of the economy, we will withdraw it to our accounts in the USA. If the country itself does not invest in its infrastructure, why will investors do it? We we drive our own money to the west and take loans there - it turns out an oxymoron!

And on a sudden rise in price of eggs, checks ran. It is clear that the poultry farms agreed, but there is a reason, feed almost doubled in price. And what is becoming more expensive for the oil industry, well, apart from the appetite of course?

    Our economic policy is aimed at pumping out raw materials. Nobody even hides this. This model was built with us by Americans in the 90s. The Americans have a different model, stimulating production - a zero refinancing rate, i.e. it is a lot of money and, by the way, at the expense of us: we transfer our reserves to American treasury securities at 2% per annum, which, given inflation, is even unprofitable for us. The situation is this: there are incomes from the sale of resources, economic policy is aimed at ensuring that these resources are competitive in foreign markets, incomes from the sale of resources are sterilized so as not to accelerate inflation, while it is proposed to live on taxes from which the revenues from the sale of energy resources are removed but why take taxes if this economic policy does not allow production to develop. The situation is paradoxical.

For the maintenance of officials and deputies, for the development of the foreign economy, for the entertainment of oligarchs. In general, they are RUSSIA.

    No model within the framework of capitalism will give 6% growth in the global stagnation. To make import substitution, workers are needed (they are not there, all men work as security guards), import prohibition barriers (what about the WTO and the CU), the fight against corruption, etc. According to all the laws of capitalism, Russia is doomed to a raw materials appendage - it does it best.

      Growth percentages are not talking about anything. Under the USSR, with interest, everything was normal, only 90% of civilian products were needed by no one. The machines stood in warehouses and rusted, waiting for the end of the write-off period. Clothes and shoes rotted in warehouses, because everyone dressed and drew on imports, except for completely poor people. AND even weapons was often wasted. It was released so much that we still cannot sell it for some names. Or they gave away the so-called. "allies", such as Afgan and Ethiopia, and it is now wandering around the world.
      Conclusion: growth percent is not an end in itself. It is neither cold nor hot from them if they are not linked to the economic situation.
      Can interest be drawn, as Lukashenko is doing now, just what's the point? Warehouses of Belarusian enterprises are overstocked, but life does not get better, because inflation eats up the whole increase in wages.

      Quite a silly term. It is still necessary to figure out what are the appendages - raw materials or technological. High-tech Japan has a debt of 226% of GDP, while raw materials Saudi Arabia has 8% of GDP, and it (along with Qatar and Kuwait) is one of the main creditors of Japan. Russia has an external debt of 11% of GDP, while Germany has more than 80%. So think about who is the appendage to whom. The term "raw material appendage" appeared in the 80s, when a quartz watch cost as much as 15 buckets of gasoline. And now they cost like half a bucket of gasoline, and in some places even less. Now the term "raw material appendage" has lost all meaning, except for propaganda.

        Dear (albeit) Sour, but you are largely right.
        Leont'ev, like Kudrin, offer to stretch the country, but unlike Munchausen, not by the hair, but by a meter lower. Moreover, taking up the weakest and most unprotected place. Much more complicated:
        - to push the law on offshore, on investments in foreign countries and corruption (tough, and not of the type: - Not good. Ay-yay. - Okay, I won’t .;
        - taxation of surplus profits of natural monopolists (such "production costs" are buried there that mum do not cry);
        - develop a law on import substitution, when it becomes possible to monitor the effectiveness of the use of cheap loans;
        - to strangle the "networkers" in trade and all kinds of "black" bankers.

        All these guys, if you "run over" on them, they will immediately give you a drink, and not only Leontyev. So it's easier to "impose" on the Central Bank-shnuyu lady with a non-Russian surname and cry about Russia.

          I partially agree. Deoffshorization is ripe and really possible.
          As for anti-corruption laws, I am a pessimist here. The adoption of new laws will give nothing. If anything, the current laws are enough to the eyeballs. The fight against corruption in our country is complicated by many deep reasons, the main one of which is that there is simply no one to fight corruption in our country. There is no social support for this struggle, because not only the authorities are corrupted, but the whole country from top to bottom. And the fish here does not rot "from the head", but from the inside.
          Strangle networkers? What is it like? Ban them, or what? For me, I would better ban the markets, it would at least reduce immigration to the country.
          With regard to import substitution, again, not just another law is needed, but a firm-led policy. We have so many laws.
          --------
          In general, it is surprising that not everyone gave up the insanity of the early 90s, when there was a strong belief that any problem could be solved by adopting the right law. And let’s adopt the law obliging everyone to live well! And forbidding to live badly. And all the problems will disappear immediately.

    In developed countries there is excess production capacity and if you need to increase the production of something (well, you never know - demand has grown) they are ready to do it instantly. We do not have such capacities, even what was destroyed, and to create them from scratch is already an almost insoluble task for the vast majority of market participants - the legislation will not allow doing something economically feasible. Add here a completely eliminated applied science - and there will be a completely understandable picture. If something can be done, it is illegal in the garage, secretly, by the efforts of migrants. In such conditions, competitive products cannot be made. In the last 20 years, the Gaidar model of strangulation of domestic business as uncompetitive has been implemented. First, competitiveness kills due to anti-inflation macroeconomics, and then the business is stifled by law.

In addition, construction was started at the expense of the lands of one of the most successful dairy and livestock farms in the region. The impression is that the construction site has just been frozen. Well, they didn’t lose, you see, but they just crushed someone’s tail ... So they shut up. Till...
    Second. My friend is a ship chandler who supplies steamers with food. In the past few years, the attractiveness of ship calls to our ports has dropped below the plinth. Rosgranitsa requires a pass to the ports, and for persons on whom the seals and signatures depend, either there is a lot of other things, or the turnover from the office takes away. "Well, he is not. Come on Monday" And the Steamer will NOT wait from Friday !!! Port dues are not small. And sailors leave the coast hungry. AND THIS IS A VIOLATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ALREADY 1964 ...

    And for what purpose to devalue the ruble? Most of our exports are raw materials and are not traded in rubles.
    And why should an unsecured ruble constantly devalue against an even more unsecured dollar? It would be more reasonable to prohibit the free circulation of foreign currencies in the country.

    Nothing new has been invented in economics since the 19th century. Read the book "The Paper Ruble" in 1895 by Talitsky (Sharapova) to answer yourself why the current economic situation is as it is.

    Inflation depends on two things. !!!! From the ruble mass of money in the country and from the foreign trade balance !!! From two things! And they are trying to make us believe that inflation depends only on the ruble money supply!

    What does the expression "the end of the oil economy" mean for modern Russia? This means that the foreign trade balance has been rapidly deteriorating since 2010. This accelerates inflation. Our Central Bank begins to slow down these processes by reducing the ruble supply of money in the country. For this reason, the price of money rises. Interest on loans begins to grow, people's labor begins to depreciate. Only usurers, speculators and owners of real estate and warehouses that can be rented out live on. The working man is in a complete enclosure. We see all this in modern Russia.

    But we also see something else, that a decrease in the ruble mass in the country no longer leads to a halt in inflation! What to do? Nationalize the Central Bank, and abandon its work in currency board mode. The state itself should issue rubles and invest them in its economy, and not receive them in exchange for a dollar received from the oil industry, as is happening now.

    When oil for Russia in the zero years gave an excellent trade balance, all the money received was spent on real estate and went offshore. Own production was not built. Now we are suffering from a hangover after a holiday of fatty zeros. Whose merit is this? Who is to blame for the incompetent squandering of money in zero?

    Nothing new has been invented since the 19th century. We again go forward in the 19th, into the trap of TNCs, as in the 19th the royal people did. But perhaps then it didn’t reach them. And now it is clearly visible

    Those who, like Nbiullina, dream of investing, apparently did not hear Medvedev's report in Davos - this was when he was president.
    And he frankly admitted that he needed a 1% increase in investment for a 2% increase in GDP.
    Think about this sincere confession, which only exacerbates the guilt: where did the rest half of the investment gains go?
    After all, everyone has long known: if economic growth is Y = TI, I is investment, T is their multiplier, then growth is dY = TdI.
    Accordingly, its pace is the economic growth dY / Y = dI / I, that is, the efficiency of converting investments into economic growth = 100% !!! But this is only under the condition that T = const, and this is not so.
    New science - physical economy gives T ~ 1 / d, where d is the coefficient of variation of income directly related to inequality
    That is
    (1) dY / Y = dI / I- dd / d
    if dd / d> 0 is growth.
    Substituting into (1) Medvedev's "recognition" dY / Y = 1/2 dI / I> 0, we obtain
    (2) dd / d = 1/2 dI / I> 0
    Will you invest in a country where half of your money goes into income inequality?
    That is, - in the income of the richest 10th decile group.
