not an easy time when we understand everything with you that such a combined war is really going on against russia , a special military operation, we are well aware that it is not the ukrainian army that opposes the armed forces of russia, but the combined forces nato is such a systemic, if you want a civilizational conflict, an economic war is going on , an unprecedented set of sanctions that has been adopted today against our country. the challenge that the west poses to russia for our country is the time of opportunity to develop before the participants of the competition. today, moscow mayor sergei sobyanin also spoke, he said that he would soon open again from a fast food point. mcdonald 's what this network will be called has not yet been specified, but the mayor also noted that at least the idea american, and the raw materials are russian, so the taste

speaking at the plenary session today. you said that russia cannot be excluded from the world economy, but in fact, now we are being cut off from modern technologies. how critical is this for the russian industry. we are really very deeply embedded. the world economy and what happened after february 24 is a serious challenge for us. well, i think he's not exactly critical. we will definitely find ways and exits, because the world is diverse, what the civilized west supplied us with. and as they say now, not a friendly country. we will find a way to change the logistics of the equipment we need. we will rely on our colleagues in the east in the southeast and of course. of course , we will speed up all the processes associated with the replacement. uh,

critical components. well, of course, for this you have to go to additional expenses in science. e in technology. well, these things are obvious. well i guess that we will be out of this situation in the future from the profits, because sanctions on the one hand mean. they slow down our current development, but in the future, if we manage to build the industrial strategy correctly and correctly replace all critical things. we will come out of here, which means also with a certain kind of benefits, because the crisis situation. she has the other way. it opens a new window of opportunity. this means that we have the opportunity to replace ourselves and win new positions, both on the inside and, preferably also in the foreign market, and examples from recent years show that this

works in practice. you know perfectly well that after the fourteenth year. e, when they began to withdraw e, serious sanctions against us. we managed to ensure the energy food security of the country, and i can continue this list . how impressive these figures correlate with the results of the work. you know, this is a very complex and multifaceted problem. import substitution, because in different sectors of import dependence, it is different in some sectors. well, we can already do about 60% of everything ourselves, and in some industries, such as science, it means capacious and the tank industry, construction for the sake

of electronics, we really have serious gaps. and today we need to sharply increase our competencies in these areas, but i will tell you that the government is now making the maximum possible effort in this area. literally a few days ago, work was completed on a comprehensive development program for the sake of electronics. where over the past 30 years, i don’t remember that we planned to invest such funds in this industry, we are opening a new program of electronic engineering in order to exclude dependence on the supply of means of production, to which we have not done for almost 30 years. all this gives hope that we will get out of this situation and we will get out again and repeat with a profit. and parallel imports are one of the ways to get around sanctions, probably. that's just to make a breakthrough in import substitution, as in the government see how it will work. well, firstly,

certain steps have already been taken. the forty-sixth law has been issued. the government decree, orders of the ministry of industry and trade, have identified 50 groups. uh, means products, which means will be accompanied. uh, the so-called parallel import of 200 companies that have left our market. this means that these lists all have the right to bidding prepared, which means that in any country in the world you can purchase goods, which means that the goods are sanctioned by, uh, the owners of this case and by any means deliver it to russia for the right consumers. there is a risk of counterfeiting. this means that it is always present, and of course, in order to exclude and ensure the specified consumer characteristics of the product, it is necessary to tighten the certification of this product. so, here, of course, the role will grow. uh, including our certification centers, some kind of exclusion restrictions are planned in any

country by any means, how this will affect the final cost of products, after all, we understand that this is a certain transportation cost. yes it certain logistics costs and so on. all this is probably hard to calculate now, because, let's say, we have been using well-established supply chains for decades, and in fact, changes in these suppliers are a change in logistics. eh, channels connected after all not with any economic ones. as men, russian buyers of this or that product have always in good faith paid claims against us never. there was never any on this account. this is a purely political situation. of course we have to today. uh, look for new suppliers and change post logistics. it's probably an additional cost. well, let's just say that today we have problems

with the life of our hydrocarbons, they refuse to buy our gas and oil, and we focus on , uh, southeast and east, china, india. well, for this we need to create a certain infrastructure, this will take some time. this means that somehow these hydrocarbons must be delivered there, or gas turbine pipelines must be provided. uh and either uh, the navy is able to transport these things. so, of course, you have to work. well i think that stabilization will come. she's already starting to come on about it. says all the statistics that i cited today on our forum data. so, which we received for the first quarter. we ensured overall gdp growth of 3.5%, although you know that many of our macroeconomists forecast a decline of up to 10-12% for this year. i think

this one is unprecedented. uh, consolidation in society set up our main ee, industries and directors of the largest enterprises system, forming enterprises and industries we today, representatives of the automotive industry and shipbuilding, heavy transport engineering and oil and gas chemistry have also listened. he says that the challenge has been accepted, which means that there is no panic, people understand what needs to be done and, naturally, the task of the government. provide the necessary support measures in time to ensure that this process is painless enough and these support measures. we are already putting it into practice. so, there was a problem, it means with working capital that arose with a high rate in march and with high rate. this means that the government of 120 billion stood out as a forming enterprise and the

list is good. this is about 1300 enterprises to offset the interest rate. this means that we need to give the enterprise for working capital. this means that we have reduced the time, which means the refusal of certain types of payments of insurance payments, utilization fees for enterprises, which have been postponed to a later date. it is nothing else. how to give the opportunity to save money , which is so necessary today for our enterprises for fund capitalization. the opening of an industry worth 20 billion rubles is a very effective mechanism; there is long, cheap money. it has proved that this fund has been effective lately, and today, by the way, at the forum there was a proposal to multiply the volumes that need to be sent to this fund. and i think that we will convey all this to the

head of our government, we will try to convince that this mechanism is effective, it is working , it is effective. eh, because in practice he proved its performance. well, what worlds of support can we still say, this is a smooth installment increase in the rate that occurred in march . we gave a large enterprise about 4 months to gradually raise this rate, so that there would not be such a shock situation , and now, thank god, the rate is starting to fall, this may be the main task today is the troika of the financial credit system so that we can pass it painlessly . difficult time when we have to reconfigure the entire industry throughout the economy, based on the prevailing realities, but we understand that no country can produce everything that it needs. yes, that is the question of international cooperation. it is still worth raising it,

how international cooperation in russia will look like now with whom we will cooperate. or we are set for 100% import substitution - this is impossible to do in the conditions of the modern economy. so, although it already sounds, it means that voices not only in our country and in developed countries are saying less about globalization. means more many countries talk about subsistence farming, including the developed countries of america, europe
