the bank of russia is literally making a decision on the key rate at this very moment. what will it be and what signal will the regulator give to the market? we will find out from my colleague vera moroz, she is joining the broadcast. so, vera, hello, by this minute, is anything already known for sure? alexey, hello, i will start with the fact that the market began to react. even before the central bank’s decision, when some large key banks raised deposit rates to 20 to 21%. at the same time, the central bank had previously allowed the key rate to increase to 20%, so we will see, the central bank has to tighten monetary policy to reduce the level of inflation, to switch the population from indebtedness to accumulation, especially high.

which were 9.5%, while weekly inflation accelerated slightly, this is after the deflation that was in the week in august, prices fell by 0.%, and this was the first decline since february 2023, since the beginning of the year , inflation was just over 5%, while the inflation expectations of the population remain high, in august they rose to almost 13%. tightening of monetary credit

policies, as i have already said, are needed to switch people to savings, by the way, the total volume of which in the country has exceeded 57 trillion rubles, but russians continue to actively spend, which is also due to the growth of incomes and prices. in july, at a meeting, the central bank of russia raised the inflation forecast, which was slightly less than 5% to 6.5-7%, and this is the largest. review of forecasts ever. the central bank admitted that it will not be possible to achieve the target inflation of 4% this year, so it moved the deadlines until next year. at the same time, the ministry of economic development, which also updated the economic forecast for 2024-27, believes that this year inflation will be even higher at 7.3%. and according to the department , the central bank's target indicator of 4% will only be reached by 2020.

budget, as for the unemployment rate, it also remains quite low, hence the growth of salaries, and accordingly, when companies include prices, expenses for their employees, they include all this in the growth of prices and services, and so on in a vicious circle, hence the tightening of monetary credit politicians, let me remind you, 19%, the key rate. yes,

almost 600,000 budget places were allocated in russian universities this year . over 15,000 people were admitted under the quota for svo participants and their family members. this time, applicants more often chose pedagogical and medical education, as well as the it direction. the head of the ministry of education and science, valery folkov, spoke about this and more in an interview with my colleague nailya. valery nikolaevich, hello. hello nailya. tell us about the results of the admissions campaign, where is it most difficult to get into? this year we have a large number of budget places were allocated, and the peculiarity of this year was that, of course, the availability of higher education was unprecedented. in total , 592 thousand budget places were allocated for all forms of education for those who enter from school for the first time to the first year or from college, that is, receive higher education after comprehensive school, 428 thousand budget

places were allocated, and in almost all popular specialties and areas there were more of these places, so this is the first peculiarity this year, the admission campaign was generally successful. the tool has become increasingly popular among applicants, and if in previous years we had tens of thousands of applicants who used this service, today it is already hundreds of thousands and more than 44% of those who came to

russian universities, they used the super service, this is much more than a year earlier, this is a very important point, since the service allows you to track your chances in real time, it allows guys from the regions to enter without leaving home to a variety of universities, not only in the capital, but to universities in other regions, by the way, one of the... features for several years now or one of the results of using the super service is precisely interregional mobility, when applicants from one region, using this electronic platform, electronic services, enter other strong regional universities, move, say, from samara to novosibirsk, from novosibirsk to tomsk, from chelyabinsk to yekaterinburg, from yekaterinburg to nizhny novgorod, and so on and so on. this is a very important point. where

is it most difficult to enter? well, it is traditionally more difficult to enter, you need to look, first of all, in terms of universities. all these universities are well-known, if you take the first 15-20 universities, then first of all it is the capital university, moscow state university, st. petersburg state university, the higher school of economics, mipt, mephi, our famous. baumanka, st. petersburg polytechnic university, mining university in st. petersburg, our leading universities, which are located in the regions, we are talking about tomsk state university, novosibirsk state university and a number of other universities that are doing very well. the second point, very important - it is not only the university, but the direction or educational program. the most popular programs are traditionally related to the training of teachers. well, in particular, pedagogical education with two profiles, well, let's say, a teacher of russian language and literature, physics and

mathematics, and there, well, and so on and so forth, biology, chemistry, there are different profiles, but we see that traditionally this is a very popular direction, this year is no exception, then medicine, general medicine, this is for foreigners , for our students who enter, and a very popular educational program, well , finally, everything related to information technology, from applied computer science to information systems and software engineering, here is a whole, whole range of programs, here are traditionally high expectations for - for various career aspirations, salaries, future employment of school graduates, and accordingly high competition in almost all universities without exception, but what i would especially like to note this year, and we already feel a connection with those programs. which we launched several years ago, the programs are aimed at

improving the quality of higher education, first of all in the regions, and secondly , to make the corresponding training more prestigious in, say, the far eastern regions, in certain specialties, in particular, engineering and technical profile, which this is a program, it is well known, this is a program, let's say, an advanced engineering school, a total of 50 such schools, our flagship program priority 20-30, in which more than 100 russian universities participate, and 2/3 of them are from the regions, and of course, the program for the construction of student campuses, or as they are sometimes called modern campuses, the implementation of these programs and the participation of universities in them, today we see, directly correlates with the results of the admissions campaign, those universities, those universities that have actively joined in implementation of these programs, the unified state exam, which is very

important, fixation, but in fairness this year schoolchildren have done better in a number of general education subjects, including physics and mathematics. naturally, in many russian universities and adolescents, the average score of the unified state exam, including in engineering and technical specialties, is higher. look, and we analyze in relation to each region for each specific university, we look at how the situation has changed in the last 5 years, and we see that the more actively successfully the university participates in our programs with the support of the region, here are three flagship programs i named, the better it is doing with applicants, the most striking example here is the far eastern regions, we have...

dear colleagues, good afternoon, today we have several issues on the agenda from the ministry of foreign affairs. accordingly , the speaker, sergei viktorovich lavrov, we will ask sergei viktorovich to tell us about his latest contacts with foreign colleagues. vladimir putin held a meeting with permanent members of savbe for russia in videoconference mode. well, now let's get back to the interview with the head of the ministry of education and science valery

folkov. yakutia from khabarovsk krai, from primorye.

but it must be admitted that if we take into account the unprecedented number of budget

places, then in our country as a whole, in the absolute majority of universities, the situation with the availability of higher education looks quite normal. how many foreigners were admitted and from which countries? well, the admission of foreign citizens is still ongoing. we are recording a trend on an increase in the number of people entering russian universities annually. traditionally, if we take the results of last year, the top five leaders look like this. our closest neighbors. egypt and iran, this year the data is preliminary, but we see a great

demand for government quotas, which are allocated annually by country, only 30 thousand. quotas are allocated for free admission to russian universities, this is of course a small share, why? because more than 70% of foreigners enter russian universities on commercial places, that is they study on a fee-paying basis, and this is evidence of the demand for russian higher education, traditionally three groups of specialties or educational programs are very popular with us. medicine stands apart, of course, everything that concerns medical care, dentistry and so on, in this direction, the second large group is the humanitarian direction, economics, jurisprudence, they are also very popular among foreigners, well , construction, agriculture are gaining more and more popularity economy and a number of engineering and technical

areas, which our colleagues also strive for, many applicants have entered this admissions company. years we have about 10 universities, all of them are mainly located in moscow, they are in the same situation, when in a number of areas, in individual educational programs, the number

of budget places is less than the number of those who applied, winners of the olympiad prizes, as a rule, this is due, of course, to the high prestige of the university itself great interest in educational programs that they implement, either medical or... information or engineering and technical, from year to year russian universities have traditionally entered, since these are talented gifted children, then they took them to study at their own expense, because any university is interested first of all in the best graduates of schools and colleges coming to it to receive an education. this year we had a difficult situation at sechin university, we helped them solve it, for the future, obviously we corresponding. adjustments to the procedures related to admission will be made, now we are preparing the corresponding changes and discussing them with interested parties -

participants in the process. can a system of guaranteed employment appear in russia, those who study at you absolutely correctly used good terpin, a system of guaranteed employment, because with such a formulation of the question and this is what meets the requests first of all. applicant and student and we looked at this situation, here it is so nonlinear, here there is no simple solution, here we need to move in several directions at the same time: first, of course, look at the status of a young specialist, since employment after university, after college, it has its own difficulties, in principle there are no problems with employment, but with employment in a specialty and on good terms. at the end of july we

had a big conversation at the state duma and with the support of the chairman of the state duma of deputies we agreed to create a working group now we are working on special proposals for defining the status of a young specialist. securing it in legislation, this is the first point, the second is a very important point, we constantly point this out, eh, of course, universities should strengthen their work related to organizing assistance to graduates in finding employment, this is the activity of special units, as a rule, these are employment services, and more closely linked with employment agencies, with employment services, and helping there not only to write a resume, but also to organize an internship in senior courses to help personally there discuss the issue of employment at first for literally every student who

graduates, but the third equally important direction is, of course, reciprocal steps on the part of employers, they, of course, we believe , should also take care to create the most attractive conditions for employment, here... the issue of the quality characteristics of the workplace, because those companies, those organizations that offer interesting, favorable conditions for employment, and we are talking not only about wages, but also about the entire social package, about career growth, about the adaptation of a young specialist in the workplace, about the possibility of advanced training, and so on, they are in demand and, as a rule, do not experience difficulties with graduates coming to them. universities, well, here we need closer interaction between universities and future employers, our work with our

colleagues from the ministry of labor, which is what we are actually organizing today within the framework of the new national project personnel. does cooperation in the scientific field with foreign universities continue, if so, from which countries? it does not just continue, it develops, and in different ways... or today have expressed a desire to participate in the work of this association, then this is already a very serious community, where we discuss

joint projects from... one of the issues on the upcoming agenda to the use of megascience class infrastructure, in which russia is especially strong, as for scientific and educational interaction, or cooperation, then here as a rule, well , firstly, it is difficult to separate them, secondly, we are moving to the forefront, our partners, large well-known, in particular one of the latest such significant events is the agreement with china. moscow state university has agreed with beijing university to create an institute of fundamental research, now this work will be transferred to the practical plane, this was during the last chinese delegation to russia, here the delegation led by the prime minister, on the other hand, we have very well developing branches in a number of countries, branches of russian universities, here is a striking example, this uzbekistan and egypt on the african

continent, where the number of branches increases every year, and the number of students, respectively, who study in these branches also grows, we are certainly happy about this, we contribute in every way, and if we take examples from other countries, then just recently , you know, there was an eastern economic forum, the partner side was malaysia, and the prime minister of the country came, where , among other things, the agenda in the field of science and education was discussed, we are implementing a number of joint projects in the field of science, well, in in particular, there is a project concerning the extraction of collagen from jellyfish, respectively , those seas that wash russia and malaysia. our scientists have joined forces in order to jointly carry out this work, some one of the examples is just, and the grant is a joint one between our two countries, which are being implemented by colleagues over the course of three years, and well, and new

educational... double degree programs that our universities are opening with malaysian universities, this year a number of such programs started, including, by the way, mifi, our famous nuclear university, opened its representative office in one of the malaysian accelerators, and also together with fellow scientists in a number of areas, since 2025, it is launching the implementation of research projects. thank you very much, thank you.

how are you feeling? well, much better compared to what it was. evgeniy podubny was discharged from the skalifosovsky institute, the first shots and the first interview. what is known about the voykor's health and how is he feeling? the key rate has been raised to 19% per annum. the central bank has made a decision - this is the maximum since april of 2022. what explains this step and what are the figures? have also been announced by the central bank. spies, not diplomats. russia has revoked the accreditation of six employees of the british embassy. there are video materials and data that cannot be disputed. how the scheme was built and under what guise agents were sent to russia. and europe is nervous about plans to use long-range missiles against russia. costs for kiev are growing, and there are also problems with migration. hungarian prime minister orban threatens to sue the european commission if

budapest is not reimbursed. expenses. so, the main economic news: the russian central bank raised the key rate to 19% per annum. this is the highest level since 2022. experts allowed for a 100 basis point increase, in particular as a response to the decline in oil prices and inflation risks. earlier, let me remind you, large banks, without waiting for the regulator's decision, had already increased the yield on deposits. the current cycle of tight credit policy. has become the longest in a decade, through in an hour, the head of the bank of russia, elvira nabelinu , will hold a press conference, where she will explain the regulator's decision and answer questions about the economic situation and the central bank's next steps. we will show everything live. vladimir putin held an operational meeting of the security council via videoconference and heard a report from foreign minister sergei lavrov. we have.
