the federal register of bone marrow donors, the first results of the work are summed up at wadenham, at one of the sites of the russian exhibition, in pavilion 75, where the regions talk about their achievements, the day of dagestan and north ossetia. russia, the largest economy in europe, is now ahead of all the leading countries of the european union in terms of growth rates. about this was stated by vladimir putin at the vtb-russia calling investment forum. the event was large-scale, representatives gathered. largest international corporations and leading domestic companies, attracting investment into our economy, developing dialogue with foreign partners are the main topics, and as the president especially noted, our country has proven that it is capable of responding to the most difficult challenges, reporting by konstantin panishkin. there are approximately equal numbers of russian and foreign investors on the sidelines, we have money, yes, we have money, yes, they didn’t come here with empty pockets, they are ready and will invest... all this hype

is not able to cancel the immutable fact, working with russia in russia is profitable, it was profitable, now it is profitable and will be profitable, business agrees, first the specialization, the number of foreign enterprises in russia did not decrease, on the contrary, they increased, i myself was surprised to discover when i looked at the materials, it increased, like this, as of march 1... of the year, 24,100 foreign organizations were registered in russia, as of november 1 of the current year there were almost 1,500 more of them, exactly 25.6, well, this is an indicator of readiness and desire to work in russia. the potential profit covers any risks, how many times has your business grown since february 24 , 2022, but two or three. everyone who did not

turn away from russia at a difficult moment can now claim the best price. yes, we all understand that to a large extent, india receives, receives preferences due to discounts on russian energy resources, well , that’s right, in fact, i would do the same if i were them i did this if the situation develops this way, but here the benefit from cooperation is not only in price, but in the breadth of opportunities for business development that is inaccessible to unfriendly states. and which ones are not? this means, first of all, as regards china directly, we are ready to cooperate in all areas, we have no restrictions, this also applies, by the way, to military technologies, payments have already been made for the second year, increasingly in national currencies, for example, with the chinese already in nine cases out of ten, however, only now. how

what about rubles? well, rubles are not very good yet, yes. the share of the ruble in trade with china is growing, but is still far from 50%. our currency accounts for a fifth of exports to canada. but in exports to india, the ruble accounts for 60%. the ruble is now one of the key currencies in the structure of our trade; it takes up a lot of exports and imports, so the reality is such that the ruble plays no less a role than other currencies. it is not toxic for a foreigner, no, absolutely, because you can buy a lot of good things with it, what our economy, our country produces. in 2023, the growth of the russian economy is expected to be 3.5%, this is higher than before the start of the special operation, introduction. yes, russia, the largest economy in europe , is now ahead of all the leading countries of the european union in terms of growth rates. moreover , it is not the raw material sectors of the economy that are developing most actively. in the second quarter of this year they accounted for 54% of gdp growth. and only 2%, i want to emphasize,

only 2% was accounted for by mining. now let someone say that russia is a gas station, as if they tried again recently. talk about it. russian business has occupied almost all the niches previously owned by western brands. did they think that everything would collapse, or what? nothing of the sort happened. they took over everything and went forward. and our entrepreneurs act very confidently. for example, on behalf of the president, russian officials must switch to domestic cars. the state order is still being formed. we still hope that the president’s instructions will be fully implemented in the near future. and not only direct purchases will be prohibited for officials and government agencies, but also renting cars, leasing them, and other forms of providing transport services. avtoas is ready to fulfill this government order on any scale, our production program for next year

includes up to 500,000 cars of various classes, but all this goes without saying does not mean, no matter what kind of protectionism you may have, russia does not kick anyone out and does not close anyone off. from anyone, many foreign enterprises, organizations, despite pressure from their governments, their officials, stated that they want to continue working in our country, we only welcome this, in a certain sense, we have even fewer risks for investors than in neighboring states, including nato members. political risks are when in turkey inflation is at 100%, but the regulator has no political will to engage in monetary policy that would reduce these risks, this is a political risk, but our state acts decisively in these conditions and adequately, which reduces these risks, inflation has been brought under control in russia decisive actions of our central bank,

but the fee for this is a key rate of 15%. i constantly communicate with representatives of large companies, medium-sized ones, and representatives of finance. sectors, everyone is always dissatisfied with each other, this is always, i think, everywhere, but , but the numbers indicate that decisions are being made, life goes on, the economy is developing, in general the result is good, forum guests and journalists, of course, were waiting today from elvira's forecast of monetary policy for the coming months in the new year? not promote me. but this is how the immediate future head of vtb, andrey kostin, sees it. you're waiting for a softening, right? easing monetary policy? i don’t think so yet, while the situation shows that probably in the coming years, at least until the end of the year, the beginning of the next,

we are not expecting any easing, maybe even the opposite. the authorities urge russians not to accumulate debts; more than 27 million citizens already use the services of market brokers on the domestic securities market. i believe, that. the same insurance mechanism should be extended to long-term individual investment accounts. here the maximum amount of insurance coverage can be 1,400 rubles per person. for comparison, those russians who invested in western securities on foreign markets before 2022 lost everything after the imposition of sanctions. konstantin panyushkin, vladimir bukarev, mikhail bobrev, pavel rudakov, boris kaminov, channel one. later, on the floors of the forum. putin met with the crown prince of aman, ben-haitham al-said. the russian leader noted good prospects for the development of cooperation between the two countries in various fields, economics, energy, tourism and more. and at the beginning of our meeting i would like to ask you to convey my best wishes to your father

sultan, he stood at the origins of our relationship. we will be glad to see him in russia at a time convenient for him, well, next year. this year is coming to an end, our trade turnover volume is still modest, but it has been developing so actively in the first 9 months of this year by several times. direct flights and tourism are now open - this is also one of the areas of activity that is very interesting and promising. well, in general, we have something to do, and we are very glad that you are here. i am grateful to my father for the invitation, and i am sure that his visit will take place, hopefully soon. i listened very carefully to your speech and would like to confirm that i share all your assessments of the current international situation, primarily with regard to the need to stop the current situation. and the footage that

came shortly before our release: in the kremlin , vladimir putin receives iranian president ibrahim risi, the center of attention of the two leaders - implementation of joint promising projects in the trade and economic sphere, energy, transport, as well as current international and regional issues. dear friends, i am very glad to see you in moscow. yesterday, you know, i was in the neighboring region and flew directly into the territory of your country, and i wanted to land and meet directly in tehran, but they tell me that the president has already got ready and is flying to moscow. we have large infrastructure projects, we have been discussing them for a long time, now we have come to practical implementation, in the construction of a railway north-south, we naturally work traditionally in the field of energy, in the field of education, we

have a significant number of iranian students studying, and of course, it is very important for us to exchange views on the situation in the region, especially with regard to the situation in palestine, the situation in palestine - this is a problem all over the world, what is happening in gaza and palestine is genocide and a crime against humanity. and today a joint statement was published following vladimir putin’s visit to saudi arabia. moscow and eriyadh agreed on expansion cooperation in various areas. one of the key themes is increasing trade volume. 2022, this figure increased by 46% compared to the previous year. negotiations between vladimir putin and crown prince mohamed bin salman al saud ended late last night. the parties will strengthen cooperation in defense. between states

a vote is underway, colleagues, and the decision was made unanimously. our electoral system, fortunately, lacks the characteristics characteristic of a number of countries that have self-proclaimed themselves as models of democracy, is devoid of surrogate electoral mechanisms and is based on the immediate direct will of millions of russian voters. these now include residents of the reunified regions, for whom this will be the first federal election after returning home. and of course, in the united regions, as in all other subjects of the federation, it is necessary to ensure.

the draft voting was reviewed for 3 days, march 15, 16 and 17, this is a request from our voters who appreciated this form. in the near future we will also resolve the issue of in which regions remote electronic voting will be used, the main criterion being experience. the program sums up... the year with vladimir putin is exactly one week away. it's already december 14th, direct line together with a big press conference. the call center is open 24 hours a day. the range of topics is very wide: specialization, housing and communal services, medicine, social benefits. you can ask about your concerns free of charge by calling 8, 800-200,40-40, or sending an sms to 0.4040.
