here are the reasons and only in this i will say about our operation. yes, it had some significance, but the root is precisely in this in their erroneous economic policy. for them , the beginning of our operation in the donbass is a lifeline that allows them to blame their own miscalculations on others, in this case russia, but everyone who has at least a primary school education understands the true reasons for the current situation, they printed money in huge quantities. and then where did all these funds go? obvious on including on purchases of goods and services outside western countries, they literally began to vacuum up the global markets. actually , this is exactly the reason for all the events that are taking place, attempts to blame russia for them are nothing more than attempts to shift. as they say in russia from a sick head to a healthy one of course, the president

devoted a significant part of his speech to the global economy. this is understandable, first of all, because attention no less global than the economy is riveted to this speech. it is clear that it will analyze and tomorrow all the world's leading media will come out with quotes from the russian president in the headlines. well, of course it was far away. not the most important of what the president said. the central part of his speech is devoted, after all, to the economic situation, which is just as absolute. it is clear that every russian, perhaps today, is interested in how we will live, what consequences we will face, and most importantly, what needs to be done in order to mitigate these consequences, the presidents spoke in detail about the measures that have already been taken emphasizing that the economic blitzkrieg, and the sanctions were originally conceived precisely as a fast, swift, destructive war against the russian economy. it is this

economic brilliance that has obviously failed . interest rates in the russian economy are gradually being reduced. the central bank is lowering the key rate. in this regard, i think it is possible to once again lower the rate on preferential mortgages now to seven percent. well, what i would like to draw your attention to is the duration of the program remains the same until the end of this year. this means that those of our citizens, who want to improve their living conditions. this benefit should be used before the end of this year, the maximum amount of loans also remains 12 million rubles. for moscow and st. petersburg and 6 million rubles. for other subjects of the federation, lowering rates on subsidized mortgages is just one of the proposals that are aimed at developing the economy of such proposals. the head

of state announced several things at once today. they also concern the encouragement of private entrepreneurial initiative. for this it is proposed. cancel absolute majority planned inspections, at least in those at those enterprises that are not associated with an immediate risk to human life or health, it was about the decriminalization of crimes in economic crimes, of course, it is implied. and the president once again dwelled today on the problems that entrepreneurs face, i mean, the legal consequences of violations and criminal cases, which, unfortunately, do not reach the court for many years, are under investigation and are used to put pressure on business as well. among the measures that the president spoke about is the comprehensive modernization of the housing and communal services system for the development of domestic tourism and, of course, as the main priority, the achievement of technological sovereignty in order for this to become possible, first of all, every russian

must understand that one needs to live and work in this country for this country and for their children, who will also live in this very state, precisely by setting priorities in this way, we can talk about real development, true lasting success, a sense of dignity and self-respect comes only then. when you connect your future, the future of your children with your homeland, it is more reliable at home. those who did not want to hear this obvious message have lost hundreds of millions, if not billions, in the west. this is how it turned out to be, supposedly quiet, a haven for capital . once again, i want to tell my colleagues, including those who are in the hall and those who are not. today, please do not step on the old rake here. our country has a

huge potential and tasks that require the application of forces, there is no end to it, invest here for the heirs. possibly the last as capital it is still unknown what is more important the property that they got from money or the good name and merits of their ancestors before the country. this is definitely no one will squander. sorry about the monitor, no one drinks. of course, within the framework of the session, we could not help but talk about the situation in ukraine, the situation that is often called the cause of those tectonic shifts, which, as the head of the russian state explained today, is of course not true. and if we talk about ukraine, it is important to remember that russia is guided by the norms of international law, and not at all by the rules that individual states so easily and quickly rewrite for themselves, we could have legal

acknowledgers or not, of course, we did it, we concluded an agreement with them, and mutual assistance and in accordance with this agreement, as well as with article 51 of the un charter, military assistance had the right had in full compliance with the joint , whether someone likes it, or does not like it, they themselves created a precedent, therefore our actions. uh, let's say uh, the beginning of the war to action in e, in the same iraq they are not like that, because no one called anyone there and there were no agreements with anyone , including there was no recognition. uh, some newly formed state structures. they just bombed the country, they did the same thing in libya. and why and because they think that uh, as i said, uh, they have appointed themselves representatives of the lord god on earth now we hear uh, it means

behavior or life according to the rules, according to what rules, who invented them, what kind of nonsense is this only some rules to follow. it's uh, it's international public. right, even though these self-appointed and representatives of god on earth, and this is exactly what the president said today about the united states international law has recently been regularly called for its observance, because it is still without an alternative mechanism that still allows us to call black-black and white white today , alas, these colors are often mixed concepts replace each other what kiev does when, for example, mirny donetsk is bombed, in fact, not a single western country recognizes and does not even talk about what is happening, maybe this is there are those red lines. the moderator of today's discussion, editor-in-chief of rt margarita simonyan asked the president, and this is

what the head of state answered about these red lines. uh, let me put this to myself, because uh, this on our part will mean uh, that's enough. uh, tough action on exactly those, uh, decision center, which i have already mentioned , which you mentioned, but uh, this is still an area, uh, that should remain. e on the decision first of all. on the political leadership of the country and on uh those people who deserve appropriate actions of this level on our part, of course, we must, of course, draw a conclusion for ourselves first of all. uh, what could they face if you uh act like this? uh, crossing these lines and lines, and hmm strikes on residential areas. this is definitely a crime. e is

against humanity. these are humanitarian humanitarian problems, but i am sure it will be resolved traditionally, the plenary session also implies the participation of foreign guests. today, the kazakhstani colleagues of vladimir putin were present at the site obliquely jamar is like that. well, the president of egypt, abdel, greeted all those present via video link. asisya will remind her. what exactly egypt this year has a high very honorable status of the party. the guests of the st. petersburg international economic forum, as well as his video greeting, were sent by the head of the prc, xi jinping, in his speech, in addition to talking about the illegitimacy of these very unilateral sanctions, and the chinese leader recalled the well- known eastern wisdom, which says that the danger always adjacent to opportunity. and whoever overcomes the danger will surely discover opportunities

new world new opportunities the central theme of the st. petersburg international economic forum today and just so elegantly, having looped on its penultimate day of work this idea has received a new incarnation anastasia yefimova vesti, petersburg and really sit pin. so, too , here such a conclusion was made, the eastern far eastern arabic of the president of egypt was the practical result of what was said, this is a plenary session, the subsidized mortgage program of stroyka will begin to operate as early as next week about this. e, fayzullin, minister of construction and housing and public utilities of iraq, said. after the end of the plenary session, he managed to talk to journalists. and that's just about the need to reduce rates on preferential programs. vladimir putin said this is the new rate, it will just be 7%

moreover, the reaction to the president’s statement turned out to be phenomenally fast even before the end of their introductory president , vtb from bera announced that they are joining this program and moreover have already begun to accept even applications. well, how to increase these sleepy, uh, rates, which will help build more affordable housing. these questions were raised at the pre-plinary sessions, and our colleague listened to the answers here as she swam back. the quality of life is always associated with infrastructure, it is it that gives impetus to the development of urban economies in the face of sanctions, an uncertain macroeconomic situation, state support measures, as relevant as ever in the twenty-first year, the government developed an infrastructure on the sidelines of the 25th anniversary international economic forum, on the sidelines of the 25th anniversary international economic forum, they spoke about the effectiveness of this tool for the implementation of pilot projects, as well as proposals for improving the infrastructure

bonds mechanism, which allows to reduce the costs of public transport engineering infrastructure. including through public-private partnerships and concessions, 18 projects have already been approved in eleven regions of russia in the amount of more than 60 billion rubles. and just for consideration or in there are more than 100 such projects in the russian federation with a funding volume of over 350 billion. this will make it possible to build almost 100 million square meters by 2030. our mechanism is very simple transparent very so affordable entered the market knowledge. or means money 20 billion. they gave them the status of a social article. the demand for them was very good and everywhere the task and the stock market were supported and, naturally, our bonds were very good. they were in demand with a good coupon income. here are these 20 billion. the first we must send a simple task - it's 15 years old. term 4%, uh, interest rate. it seems to me very good arrangements first. they tried it in the urals federal district, it

already worked well in the chelyabinsk region, where they are actively increasing housing construction, as the head of the region, alexei teksler, said, the pace of construction of social infrastructure, while they lag behind the appearance of bonds, the house of the russian federation has become a great help. in general, those microdistricts, the chelyabinsk agglomeration, where we will build this social infrastructure within the framework of this tool. uh, housing potential, million squares, uh, 400,000 have already been built and that’s about 600,000 - this is the potential that we have, according to the head of the ural federal district vladimir yakushev , the successful experience of using this mechanism not only in the chelyabinsk region, but also in the tyumen region also caused an interesting in other entities. applications have already been received for 21 projects worth 16.5 billion rubles. and this is one and a half million square meters of housing, you need to understand that this is a huge interested developer, because it's one thing when a house is being built and then pulls up. social infrastructure is a different story, when it is built

in parallel, sales are completely different, capital turned out to be completely different. well, considering that we have enough ahead, it will probably not be easy times in order to support just that volume of housing construction and provide cheaper money. well, it's very uh, a good mechanism about all the interest speaks of the number signed for the agreement on the use of bonds of the house of the russian federation. the total amount exceeded 150 billion rubles. among regions nizhny novgorod arkhangelsk lipetsk kaluga novosibirsk region, as well as the khanty-mansi autonomous okrug of bashkortostan and st. petersburg, at the same time , the development institute is ready to integrate the mechanism of infrastructure bonds into projects for the integrated development of territories, according to vitaly mutko, now he is working on eighty projects to airt, where you can build about 18 million m². housing the main task is to make it affordable and comfortable, while the house of the russian federation is ready to help the regions with applications for the use of a new tool leila lazarova margarita bobrovskaya evgeny gusev sergey demyanov artyom kondrashov alina

priority blocks at the international economic forum, of course, energy. see the example of russia alexander novak said that the process of reconfiguring the export of russian oil and gas to other countries is proceeding quickly and will take several more months. but during breakfast business breakfast. sberbank herman gref said that russia already supplies 73% of its oil only to countries that have not imposed sanctions, however, it is expected that the implementation of this scenario turning the pipe to the east invariably, but leads to problems in the fuel and energy sector of europe, that is, yes, the smell of the pipe and alexander novak was a guest at the sixth studio today. and there, in particular, he said that in order for europe to be able to endure a new heating one. it is necessary to pump in about 40-45 billion cubic meters of gas during the season. well, the deadlines are running out of volumes that are quite large, it is

not clear how europe will be able to do this by pumping. yes. here is my own problem, the main one with uploading - it is that it is still summer, but in the summer, they are just thinking about the heating season. this is exactly what the europeans should think about very thoroughly. the contracts were signed, the information was signed, but the main deals that were today, they were today like, of course, the contracts were signed, you mean gas, of course, yes, but here are some, uh, somehow they are not very friendly with contracts. yes, let's talk about some of the deals that were signed within the framework of the st. petersburg international economic forum. well well, uh, the ministry of industry and trade and russian railways have agreed to develop domestic technology in the field of artificial intelligence in medicine and healthcare, as well, uh, a corporation. the house of the russian federation and sberbank signed a memorandum of cooperation in the field of mortgage and housing e-commerce, lending and development of the mortgage securities market.

rostelecom solar and kaspersky lab have agreed to work together in the field of information security of course well, uh, this agreement just involves the creation of an ecosystem for the exchange information between companies, but the tactics of hackers. well, dima, you are information security. i'm talking about tourism. uh, an agreement was also signed in the field of tourism. and so the resort of krasnaya polyana signed an agreement with the krasnodar territory on the implementation of new investment projects worth 37 billion rubles. this is a multifunctional green residence complex, as well as a training center for a sports reserve reduced in its own without information security god to introduce. where will you go to tourists in an unknown direction , too, probably, after all. unwanted such the result is that everything should be in the safety of the informational point of view to the applications. herman gref. well, let's say more. today is still breakfast. sberbank is also

such a landmark event on the sidelines of the international economic forum in st. petersburg well, in particular, german gref said that the russian economy will return to the level of 2,000, and 21 years only in 10 years, but this will be if nothing is done in the current situation , hello, according to german gref, russia faces a serious challenge to make a transformational breakthrough in the economy, which could not be made in recent years. and here's how to make that leap. our colleague maria osvobodianskaya knows what other important economic statements were made today at the forum. structural transformation of the economy and technological sovereignty the main areas of discussion at the anniversary st. petersburg economic forum and what most experts agree on. the new economy of our country is impossible without a new settlement system.

many banks favor ruble settlements . calculations of dollars, since the dollar has long become a weapon, and here, as andrey kostin said, digital technologies, the official digital ruble, should play a key role. i believe. these are new technologies. they should replace the old ones, and now we are discussing a lot, there whistle swift we already have a technology that the central bank has already implemented, yes, and we already have branches in different countries and in china in india in kazakhstan, we we can do calculations without a font. we don't really need him. well, digital of course. technologies. another chance is there for the e-sphere, we are already planning in 123 it is already possible to launch this year even now the test is underway. uh, like a probation, but next year the digital ruble. it may well begin to circulate a lot on the sidelines of the forum talking about measures to support business at the plenary

session. vladimir putin instructed the government to work with the banking sector on the issue of launching the industrial mortgage. this is necessary so that domestic business can quickly launch the production of the necessary products, we are talking about preferential long-term loans at a rate of 5% per annum , and as the minister of finance, anton siluanov, told us, money for this measure has already been pledged. this form was in great demand in a number of regions. and uh, the governors have approached the president of the government with a proposal to distribute more widely. and such a format. uh, support for such a decision is made, we will launch this tool, and other sources will be federal. the amount of federal budget support is already clear. how much will it be in the current year, i think, 500 to billions of rubles, subsequent years, slightly different banks make their economic forecasts higher. sberbank, as german

gref said, expects a recession in the economy at the end of the current year and next year, and in 2024 it will reach stable growth. in addition, he noted that the current ruble exchange rate is considered absolutely market in july. as german gref said, we can see some strengthening, and then if the business solves the problems with imports , the exchange rate will be fixed at around 775 rubles. at the same time, the forecast for a fall in gdp is lower than expected, our forecast for this year, a fall in gdp of 7% inflation below 15%. this is better. what was predicted initially about you was predicted at the level. 13-15%, but now the forecasts have actually been improved twice, the peak of difficulties for the oil and gas industry is also behind, and it was in march. now the company has already adapted to the new conditions, said deputy prime minister alexander novak , now there are discounts on russian oil.

but this is a temporary phenomenon. the price will be higher when the supply chains are rebuilt, and not for production or export, at the moment the sanctions have not affected, perhaps only we set ourselves the task of maintaining a slight decrease in the volume of oil refining, by about 10%. eh, production levels of about 500 million a year are the volumes that will allow us to provide the domestic market in full and maintain almost the same export potential. this is with regard to oil, expecting that in the coming years demand will increase by another 5% by 4-5 million barrels per day and free capacities, but there is no such volume in world markets. it is very important to maintain the investment attractiveness of the entire oil industry for on the margins of the forum, a huge number of agreements are signed, so gazpromneft and the administration of the tomsk region together with the tomsk polytechnic university. we agreed on the development of geothermal energy technology. this direction

will significantly advance the development of the energy industry. indeed, a new direction for us, but very complimentary in terms of our skills and experience. we agreed on cooperation in this direction with the administration of the tomsk region. we have been working in the region for a very long time. very well, we understand regional geology and see the potential, and generation from geothermal energy sources. in this partnership, it will act as an industrial partner without any problems. as a scientific technological partner, and our tasks at the first stage will be to search for such objects , evaluate reserves, and offer to place wells, e with the highest potential and e, location of objects that will be for the region be a source of green

energy. this will cut our costs on e, the same energy resources that we use today. in e-e municipal remote areas. this will allow us to have more stable. uh, heat and electricity and of course, for people. it 's convenient. uh, in savings for the company. these are new technologies. for the area. this new development opportunities are the key principles for the development of the president's country's economy. designated at the plenary session. among them, of course, are business support measures to reduce the administrative burden and decriminalize economic crimes. in addition, the global modernization program is waiting for the supply of housing and communal services. now it is necessary to do industry and innovative products to the east. and turn the pipe to the east. dmitry , we have already begun to talk now they are offering

to return to the north and talk. the arctic was also on the agenda. the participants of the st. petersburg economic forum and so the minister for the development of the far east and the arctic alexei chekunkov said that it is on this region that the well-being of russia will depend on the arctic, and possibly on the development of the resources of the arctic and the well-being of the whole world. along the northern goods worth $ 100 billion will be imported via the sea route, and it is obvious what is going on now, but the program for the development of the northern sea route. here is the role that the subject of russia can play in this, this was also discussed at the forum, but here, too, hmm, the economy is nowhere without geopolitics, of course, because now russia will strengthen the confrontation in the arctic one way or another, with or without partners about this, and the

chairman of the state duma committee on ecology, natural resources and environmental protection has already said. dmitry kobylkin. and here is how to develop this very complex uh, uh in any respect regions, and he told in an interview with our channel. let's listen. dmitry nikolaevich greetings, a large number of sessions dedicated to, including the environmental agenda, were on the sidelines of the forum and one of these key topics is, of course, the arctic, now the acute question is about the interaction of the countries of the arctic council, how will it line up? tell us what was discussed. what are the proposals on this issue, you know, we talked with representatives circular states. well, including those countries that are of great interest to the artik, such as india, they also expressed their opinions on how to develop further. in the arctic, of course, we come to one. uh, the common denominator science is in artik,

and the primary one is a very fragile ecosystem and you know artik, not a communal apartment. as they say, it's unlikely to leave there, therefore, this is the presence in the world. eh, well, in my opinion. uh, it's important. these are key factors, because it is in the council that one can solve. and those or other steps in the arctic, uh, everyone is more interested in it, like the industrial site. everyone understands that this is 25% of the world reserves of the future humanity of resources to many. we are already approaching some. we don't have the technology yet, so it 's very important, of course, that science be the primary icebreaker to go ahead and hmm here it has no borders of state non- nationalities science should give us the best available technologies that we could use with minimal violation of environmental requirements. uh and ecology, of course, science and interaction with

it in order to preserve and preserve them and develop individual territories are very important topics. what other questions? maybe what territories were understood today at the pains of the forum. well, with regard to the arctic, we are always talking about the fact that this is, first of all, the land of the indigenous peoples of the north, and we see how their number is growing in the russian federation, we have a huge number, which means people of 127 nationalities, and so if we say, then m -m without russian participation in arctic territory practically, well, impossible, we had a great session now connected with water, and it is directly, again, connected with the arctic. we talked about the fact that there are many water arteries. uh, the lakes of the oceans need human care today. this is also a very important point. they include almost the entire territory of the russian

federation. we have a wonderful ecology project, it is done. uh, as part of the presidential decree indicators. we clean our rivers , we include more and more objects there, therefore, of course, problems over the years the deficit exists not only in russia we are seeing about what is becoming. there are more dependent territories on water, because agriculture is developing, it also requires a lot of water, but this is a problem in the world, it is very significant, therefore, of course, only in general dialogues it is necessary to solve such planetary problems in general, environmental issues. they will definitely not lose their relevance, on the contrary, they will become more relevant, even in a changing political context. what key initiatives are currently being developed by we in the country, maybe some bills are already being prepared or are being prepared, of course, we have about 50 laws already in active work at the state duma committee. we have already

adopted some in the stage. means the first reading, in the second in the second reading exist. we are very much attention. today we focus on ecological tourism. and here it is necessary to mark seven times , cut off once, because a large number of people. uh, asks us to open. uh, this so -called curtain is especially guarded. on territories so that people can have a rest there with their families, but we know that each e reserve of the national park reserve has a certain load, which is more to experience. uh, this area can't otherwise it's not a matter of money or entry fees. this is a question of impossibility and load on the ecosystem, and this is now, of course, being discussed, but by no means is it about music-making. uh, any facilities built illegally. this is also very important, and at export sites and everywhere we practically monitor so that such initiatives cannot pass this very important direction, we are doing a lot

for our forest in order to have fewer fires, to have deep processing in russia, we have closed exports. uh, wood is round wood. it is clear that the industry must intercept this baton today and create as many as possible . plants with deep processing and they must be as environmentally friendly as possible. in general, i am working, there is a lot of work to be done not in geological exploration, but in creating exploration of the western cycle within our country. many foreign companies are leaving, and in principle, once these foreign companies rose to e, russian technologies, and we know this very well, many specialists left the soviet period of time, when the soviet union collapsed, and today many guys are returning. i am sure that we have coped with these challenges. yes, i really want to believe. thank you very much for taking the time to answer our questions. thank you interfax reports the president

vladimir putin held a meeting with media editors-in-chief and war correspondents. uh , in a shortened format due to the fact that there were such shifts in the schedule caused by vidos attacks, a full-length new meeting will take place in a few weeks in moscow, so i quote. uh, the message of the press secretary of the russian leader dmitry peskov well , again, we are moving on to the agenda of the st. petersburg economic forum from the eventful rich yes, summing up today. hello last. damn , the results of the national ranking are announced investment climate, and let me remind you that this rating is compiled annually by the agency for strategic initiatives together with the business community. and every year we find out, and in which regions the business with the winners feels most comfortable. there have been no surprises since the

fifteenth year, if i'm not mistaken, moscow occupies the first place since 2019, moscow has consistently occupied this first place in second place. well, those who have also reached this indicator of stability, tatarstan is holding on. he is in his positions here, and the third line rating for the first time took, the moscow region. we'll tell you a little later why she took this rating. let's list the rest of the places, the fourth place belongs to the tula region. here the fifth place is shared by bashkiria nizhny novgorod tyumen novgorod and sakhalin regions in vii place, st. petersburg and e, khanty-mansiysk autonomous okrug seventh kaluga belgorod region, and crimea eighth. e, krasnodar territory, 9th place was also divided among many regions. this is chelyabinsk samara leningradskaya lipetskaya ivanovskaya region. yaroslavl and tambov regions close the top ten. on the site of

the st. petersburg forum, i traditionally note those subjects of the federation that have made significant progress in the national investment climate rating, which is maintained by the agency for strategic initiatives. here we have changes. in the top three, moscow and tatarstan, which continue to lead this year, joined the moscow region for the year. she rose from eighth place to the top three. he made a big leap forward in such regions as kursk kurgan, vologda, murmansk region, sevastopol, as well as the altai territory and perm territory, the ceo of hmm asi svetlana chuvasheva, just said that, on average , business conditions in the country have improved in many indicators since 2021, taking into account 42 indicators, of which thirty are observed

improvements. yes, improvement is observed in such indicators as uh hmm changes in the regulatory institutional environment for the quality of infrastructure for business roads telecom telecommunications infrastructure and so on further. well, let's hear the head of russia. first of all, thanks to this project , we are creating favorable conditions, understandable rules, and procedures for business for the investor, and support measures focused primarily on entrepreneurs, on the needs of the entrepreneur, and i want to say that in this part for sure. ah, improvement is seen every year. and we are analyzing, uh, and compared to last year, how the situation is changing, what do entrepreneurs pay attention to? and what improvements do their answers say in their indicators, and so in. well there for over the past 5 years, we have also

observed some trends. well, let's get back to the main event now. today this plenary session, which was attended by the president of russia and the president of kazakhstan, kasym zhumar, in his greetings was sent by the president of egypt and, also, the head of the people's republic of china , there, of course, statements were made such that then, naturally, as every year, dispersed to quotes. here's another, by the way, let's uh, cite from the latest reports of news agencies. wait, of course, meeting of the president with the member of the president of bosnia and herzegovina from the serbs, milorad dodik. it is already judging by everything, in the next few minutes this should take place, well, in the programs of the president. it will already work. today is the final program for today. but now let's get straight to the culinary session. let's hear what was said. in fact, what was later quoted by all the news

agencies, all the media of the powerful russian federation vladimir putin by the president of the republic of kazakhstan margarita simonyan good afternoon, it's almost evening. you already know that there were minor technical problems, thank god they were quickly resolved. thank you to everyone who took care of them so quickly . thanks to those present. thank you to our leader, leader vladimir vladimirovich, for taking the time to speak at the forum, as always, and tell us what awaits us from an economic and not only from an economic point

of view. thank you obliquely zhan-artemilevich for finding the opportunity to come to us, we understand that this is not so. just. thanks for your support for our forum and our country. we really appreciate it. we've got questions ahead of us, not all of them you'll like to hear, probably not all of them i'll like to ask. but in general, we are probably happy to talk only about the good, but only the good will not work. in the meantime, i will ask you, vladimir vladimirovich, to tell us what awaits us all. thank you. thank you very much , colleagues. i welcome the participants and guests of the 25th anniversary st. petersburg international economic forum. it takes place at a difficult time for the entire world community. a time when the economy is markets, yes, and the very

principles of the global economic system were under attack, many trade production logistics links previously disrupted by the pandemic are now undergoing new tests, moreover, such key concepts for business as business reputation, inviolability of property and trust in world currencies. thoroughly. unfortunately , our partners and done. this is a deliberately outdated geopolitical illusion. today i will state ours, when i say ours, i mean the russian leadership its view on the situation in which the global economy finds itself, i will dwell in detail on how russia operates in these conditions and how it plans its development in a dynamically changing environment a year and a half ago,

speaking at a taoist forum, it was again emphasized that the era of a unipolar world order has ended. i want to start with this without it, there's nowhere to go. and despite the end, despite all attempts to preserve it, sour it by any means. this is the natural course of change - this is the natural course of history, because the civilizational diversity of the planet, the richness of cultures, is difficult to combine with political, economic and other patterns. templates. templates that are roughly imposed from one center without alternative do not work here. the flaw lies in the very idea, according to which there is one strong power with a limited circle, approximate or, as they say,

states and international relations admitted to it when it becomes necessary. it is interpreted solely in the interests of this power, what is called working in one direction, the game is on in the days of the gate, a world based on such dogmas is definitely unsustainable, the united states proclaiming victory in the cold war. well , they announced themselves. messengers of the lord on earth, who have no obligations, but only interests. moreover, these interests are declared sacred. they don't seem to notice. that over the past decades , new powerful centers have been formed on the planet and are becoming louder and louder, each of them is developing its own political systems and public institutions are implementing their own models of economic growth. and of course it has the right to their protection to ensure national sovereignty, we are talking about

objective processes of revolutionary tectonic changes in its politics and the global economy in the technological sphere. in the entire system of international relations, where the role is significantly increasing, the dynamic perspective states of the regions can no longer be ignored. i repeat, these changes are of a fundamental turning and inexorable nature, and it is a mistake to believe that the time of turbulent changes can, what is called , sit out wait, that supposedly everything will return everything will be the same as before . however, it seems that the ruling elites of some western states are just in such illusions, they do not want to notice obvious things, but stubbornly cling to the shadows of the past. for example, it is believed that the dominance of the west in global politics and

economics is an unchanging, eternal , nothing ever happens. and our colleagues. they simply deny reality. they try to counteract the course of history, they think in terms of the last century, they are captivated by their own delusions about countries. outside the so-called golden billion , the peripheries consider everything else their backyard , they still treat them like colonies, and the peoples living there consider themselves second-class people, because they consider themselves exceptional, if they are exceptional, then everyone else is second-class hence the irrepressible desire punish economically crush someone who stands out from their general ranks does not want to blindly obey, they hurt him, they are rude, shamelessly give birth to their own ethics of looking at culture and understanding of history, and sometimes question the sovereignty and integrity of the state pose

a threat and existence is enough to remember fate. yugoslavia, syria and iraq if a rebel cannot be pacified, then they try to isolate him or, as they say now, cancel him. the entrance is coming, everything even sports, the olympic movement, the forbidden culture, masterpieces of art, for the sole reason that their authors are of the wrong origin in this nature and the current attack of russophobia in the west and insane sanctions against russia are insane and i would say their number is thoughtless, as well as speed stampings do not know precedent, the calculation was understandable in a blunt way with how much the pulp of the russian economy due to the destruction of the kidney business of the forced withdrawal of western companies from the russian market for freezing domestic assets. to hit the financial industry in terms of

people's living standards. did not work out. it is obvious that this did not work out, it did not take place, the russian entrepreneurs, the authorities worked professionally, the citizens showed solidarity and responsibility of the mice, we are gradually normalizing the economic situation in first, they stabilized the financial markets, the banking system and the trading network, then they began to saturate the economy with liquidity and working capital. in order to maintain the stability of the enterprise, the companies of employment and jobs made marriage forecasts regarding the prospects for the russian economy, which sounded as early as the beginning of spring. at the same time, they did not come true clearly. why was this propaganda campaign inflated. where did all these spells come from and about a dollar for 200 rubles. and about the collapse of our economy. in general, all this was and remains an instrument of information warfare. by the

way, some of our experts succumbed to such external pressure as a factor of psychological impact on russian society on domestic business circles. their forecasts also proceeded from the inevitable collapse of the russian economy and a critical weakening of the national currency. ruble life has eaten so similar predictions. however, i emphasized and would like to note in order to continue to achieve success. we must assess the situation as honestly and realistically as possible, and at the same time be independent and draw our own conclusions. and, of course, believe in yourself. this is very important, we are strong people and we can cope with any challenge, just like our ancestors we will solve any problem , the entire thousand-year history of our country speaks about this. literally 3 months after the massive sanctions literally 3 months after the massive package of sanctions, we have

suppressed the inflationary surge after the peak of 17.8%, as you know, now inflation is 16.7%. and the economic dynamics continues to decline, the public finances are stable. uh, i'll go through a comparison with other regions later. yes to us and it's too much, of course, 16.7% big inflation. we must work with this and will continue to do so, and i am sure that we will achieve a positive result in the first five months of this year. the federal budget ran a profit of rubles, and the consolidated budget with a surplus of three and three tenths of a trillion rubles, while the federal budget surplus. only in may amounted to almost half a million rubles, with all last year's may value more than four times. today our task is to create conditions for

increasing production in order to increase supply in the domestic market and balanced with the growth of supply to restore final demand and bank lending to the economy. already said, we have taken special measures to replenish the working capital of the company, including business almost all industries have received the right to defer insurance premiums for the second quarter of this year, while manufacturing enterprises have more opportunities. they will be able to take advantage of the deferment in the third quarter, in fact, we are talking about interest-free a loan from the state in the future, deferred payments on insurance premiums will not need to be paid. what is called at the same time it will be possible to do it in equal installments within 12 months, starting from june next year. more since may, the rate on subsidized mortgages has been reduced. now it

is 9%. at the same time, the preferential mortgage program itself has been extended until the end of this year, as already mentioned, the purpose of such a measure is to help citizens solve housing problems to support the construction and related industries, and millions of workers after a sharp growth in the spring, interest rates in the russian economy are gradually reducing the central bank is lowering the key rate in this regard, i think it is possible to once again reduce the rate on preferential mortgages now to 7%, which i would like to draw your attention to, the duration of the program remains the same until the end of this year. this means that those of our citizens who want to improve their living conditions. this benefit should be used before the end of this

year, the maximum amount of loans also remains 12 million rubles. for moscow and petersburg and 6 million rubles. for other subjects of the federation i will add. in general, it is important for us to increase the availability of long-term financial resources (loans for the economy) in the near future, the emphasis in supporting business activity should shift from budgetary stimulus to market bank lending mechanisms. this process must certainly be supported in such a way as to increase the capacity of the project financing factory by 120 billion rubles. from the fund-national welfare, such a measure provides additional lending in-demand project initiatives. dear colleagues have already said that the economic blitzkrieg against russia initially had no chance of success with this sanctions weapon.

it is known, and the practice of recent years - it shows well, it is mutually acute. it wears. comparable, and even more damage is inflicted by the ideologist and designer himself, and it is not only about the current obvious consequences for us. it is known that among the leaders of european countries, at the level of informal conversations, what is called furtively discussed is very disturbing and the prospects that sanctions can be applied not only against russia but also against any objectionable state sooner or later can affect everyone, including the members of the european union and european companies, until it comes to this, but european politicians have already dealt their economy a serious blow themselves it was done by hand. we see how social and economic problems have worsened in europe and the united states

too, as the cost of food products , electronic energy and automotive fuel, as the quality of life of the european decreases and the competitiveness of the enterprise is lost. according to experts, only direct countable losses of the european union from the sanctions fever over the coming year may exceed $400 billion . such is the price of decisions divorced from reality and taken contrary to common sense. this cost is directly borne by the population and the company of the european union inflation growth. in selected countries, the eurozone. already over 20%. here, i was talking about our inflation, but strangely the eurozone does not conduct any special military operations. and inflation is up to twenty percent, yes, grants are even unpleasantly unacceptable,

the highest in the last 40 years. yes, of course , inflation in russia is also still at double-digit levels. however, we have already indexed social payments and pensions, raised the minimum wage and protected the living wage, thereby protecting the poorest citizens, and in turn, high interest rates have helped save people in russia banking system, of course for business representatives. clearly high the key rate squeezes the economy. understandable to citizens. still, in most cases. that's a plus they keep. they returned a significant amount of money in the bank at a high interest rate. and this is the main difference from the countries of the european union, where the growth of inflation directly leads to a decrease in real incomes of the population and development. good

evening for coming to the st. petersburg forum. i hope this was not useless and interesting for you. unfortunately with the duchess of the rod, we have some difficulties with joining, uh, sanctions, but we know your position and goes high. in our situation, well, in spite of any difficulties, relations

continue and will develop. thanks for all the support. what are you doing for us today was a hard day. find it and you will also repeatedly withstand our policy without influence. we didn't want to join
