maxim oreshkin, and the session is also traditionally moderated by the head of the state duma committee on budgetnd taxes andrei makarov. the session clearly did not start according to plan, all the participants were assembled, here is the chair of the minister of economics development of maxim reshetnikov was empty, then andrei makarov announced to the audience that the economy could not wait even for the minister. maxim oreshkin is no longer in the capacity of assistant to the president in charge of the economy, but as deputy head of the presidential administration. more recently, the world bank calculated that russia has reached fourth place in terms of gdp at purchasing power parity, and the president set this goal until 2030. it turns out that the goal has been achieved, and nothing can be done for the next 6 years. position in this ranking is, on the one hand, a reason to be proud of the country. the country is large, that our people in our country achieve great results in production, in agriculture, in transport, in other industries, but of course there is no reason to rest on our laurels,

businesses and transferred to the state, the moderator of this session, the head of the duma committee on budgetnd taxes, andrei makarov, was straightforward as always, i understand correctly that now we will produce state pasta, but what about the idea - then good, state pasta, a sign of quality, or whole... magnesium plant, rights of minority shareholders, again, shares, as far as i remember, of the plant, they were traded freely on the moscow stock exchange, from a budget point of view i can answer, yes, these assets, this means that they are in the treasury, they have been transferred to the treasury, and we will implement them, such tasks have been set for the growth of property, do not hold, do not manage, as you say, we do not need such a state economy. there was such a department that said that there was an acute shortage of quality hotels in the country. question: has the situation gotten better? they have become even more acutely missed, because our local tourism, russian tourism is becoming even more popular, and the global goals that the president has set for us are written down as g

speaking of things that have not happened here, we got a budget out of this committee albeit a republican budget it passed on a partisan basis so acknowledgeor how we would manage the fiscal affairs of this country and address the deficit and the debt. but we have not had an oversight hearing, gentlemen and over six years. so we areoing to our oversight responsibility. the third thing i would suggest is a new phenomenon here sadly enough for this you all have not presented in 12 years as my they have not presented the numbers on the trust committee it wasteward the nation's resources. and by the way purely analytical is a purely analytical statement and i would like for you guys to confirm in your comments and in your remarks this morning. but of the 30 year unfunded liity our nation has on its bookst represents mr. scott peters 98 -- 99% are the two programs represented by these gentlemen. so there is that fiscal impact and then the deeper and maybe eat more personal getting away from numbers the impact of doing nothing republicans claim we have plans to address it. but, words are cheap. enacted any of thos

writing off 2/3 of the regions' debt on budget loans and equalizing the budget before making all budget changes for consideration at the next plenary session , the duma committeenment's proposed changes to the tax code, primarily new tax benefits, as well as the introduction of progressive ones. income scale tax. let us remind you that for those whose income is less than 2.4000 per year, the tax rate remains the same. 13%. above this amount and up to 5 million , the tax will be 15%, from 5 to 20 million 18, from 20 to 50 million 20%, over 50 already 22. of course, most of the country does not receive that much per year. the government claims that the introduction of a progressive personal income tax scale will affect only a little more than 2.5 million. the mechanism for returning 7% of the tax paid. according to government estimates, tax changes will provide additional support to 35 million russians. consideration of bills in the first the reading is scheduled in the state duma on thursday, june 20. anton vernitsky, svetlana barkova, alexander kovalev, channel one. graduate student. created this parliamentary assembly in order to listen to everyone, but in fa

would add renewing the tax cuts would add 4.5 trillion to the deficit according to the senate committee on the budget. >> over what time period? usually is ten years. >> it expands the deficit. >> absolutely. >> you think it would be a mistake. >> absolutely. i think the interest expense is under appreciated. it's getting more attention but it's underappreciated. it's going up a lot. higher for longer and one cut instead of three if we're going to use that as a base case. just means it's going to go much higher. we're going to be over a trillion dollars in interest expense on the deficit. when a recession comes historically, in the old days, the deficit will go up by 4% gdp. in the last three recessions, they were worse and weird situations with the pandemic. went up by 9% of gdp on average. let's just take the middle of that and say it goes up by six percentage points. we'd be looking at a deficit of 3, $3.5 trillion per year. and that is not serviceable. so we're going to have to work on solutions and that's going to involve restructuring liabilities and it's going to be interesting to see how they

budget, for which it is proposed to allocate additional funds, ours knows correspondent anton vernitsky. the fact that the minister of finance, anton selanov, came to a meeting of the state duma committee on of documents, with just one folder, does not say anything inside the sentence. this is what required changes to the budget, and first of all, these are expenditures on social programs. so, out of 160 billion, 114 are planned to be allocated to provide family mortgages, that is, the opportunity to buy housing in installments at a reduced rate of 6% for families with children under 6 years of age. as well as receiving payments in 450,000 rubles at the birth of the third and subsequent children. more than 33 billion are allocated to increase the salaries of class teachers, this concerns more than half a million teachers in the country. 1.5 billion will go to increase salaries for teachers of fundamental disciplines. another billion- plus per month, starting september 1 , i will start paying advisers to school and college directors on education. about 10 billion rubles are allocated to provide access to high-speed. internet throughout the country, this is according to anton silanova will

million uah were spent on the launch of the bureau in the 21st year from budget, this is the money of ukrainian taxpayers, that is, your money. today, the verkhovna rada committeeapproved the bill on the restart of the bep, but this project, as opposition deputies and some public organizations claim, was not agreed with international partners. why is this so important? well, because restarting the bep is one of the requirements of the international monetary fund, from which ukraine receives money, not for nothing, in exchange for reforms. but they have to be real reforms, not decorative, relatively speaking. in the final text of the draft law on peresava. as if the norms and amendments that ensure the independent composition of attestation and personnel commissions are not taken into account, the anti- corruption center reports. the cpc stated that the government and parliament are failing the beb reform at the behest of andrii yarmak, and claim that it is the president's office that is pushing the fake reform of the economic security bureau, which ignores the opinions of international partners. how true is this, what does it mean? according to the information

in reality, tell me what the rationale is because the committee for responsible federal budget, one ofups put this out today which kind of put a fine point on it, right? that is who added what to the debt when you compare trump's term in office with joe biden's term in office and no, ■çyou can't blame covid. they actually break out the covid spending. that is in the lighter red color there so yes, donald trump and joe biden both spent on the pandemic. they had to, but even if you wipe that out, trump added trillions more to the debt and the deficit than biden did, regardless of covid. and, maybe you don't particularly care about the deficit and the debt but business guys almost always say they do. and so, what is the rationale along those lines for supporting trump over biden? as we head into this weird early debate this week, supporters of this business genius created an impression that trump has an advantage heading into the debate. at this point in the campaign■ç because of his business record, he is so appealing to all the other rich business guys who so appreciate his idea to book
