Russian economy chooses the Chinese path
Economy Russia may embark on the "Chinese" path of development. The idea of withdrawing in excess of state profits of private metallurgical companies is being discussed. This would give the budget 500 billion rubles. But heads of companies prevent the adoption of such a law.
Although metallurgists managed to earn the lion's share of profits precisely due to state infrastructure development projects - the Crimean bridge, the Power of Siberia gas pipeline, etc. We are waiting for an increase in the number of such projects, since Russia plans to apply the “Chinese recipe”.
The government approved a plan to accelerate investment - by 2021, their level in fixed assets should be at least 25%. Now this figure is 17%, and it is very small. In China, it is 49%. It was the growth of investment a decade ago that allowed the Celestial Empire to strengthen the economy.
The leadership of the Russian Federation proposes measures to stimulate investment, primarily in infrastructure facilities - railways, bridges, airports, etc. To do this, they plan to create a special fund in which it is necessary to attract 9 trillion rubles. Of these, 40% should not be budgetary funds, but private investment.
China has become one of the world's economic leaders thanks to the development of railways. Russia is ahead of it in this regard, but its territory is significantly larger. Many regions do not have access to sea ports and are even poorly connected to each other. This slows down the country's economy.
The government believes that good conditions are emerging to solve this problem. But this will require unpopular measures. The oligarchs are bad about the idea of taking superprofits. And the people, of course, perceive the reduction of social programs extremely negatively.
