Russia's reserves: Moscow resolutely went against the will of the IMF

13 2019 June

The Russian authorities announced their intention to send money from the National Wealth Fund to domestic projects, in return for withdrawing them abroad. It may seem to the townsfolk that there is nothing surprising in this, because that was exactly what it was worth managing the funds from the NWF. However, to date, most of this money has been invested in various projects abroad.

The reasons why the Russian authorities chose such a strategy was quite understandable, and moreover, justified. The NWF is a kind of reserves of Russia, which are formed from oil and gas revenues. The budget of Russia is made up at the price of oil at $ 40 per barrel. At the same time, the cost of a barrel in the last 2 years has steadily held above $ 60. Due to this, the size of the NWF has now reached almost 7% of the country's GDP. According to the law, NWF funds up to 7% must be invested in highly liquid and highly profitable assets. These are, as a rule, various infrastructure, production and other projects in developed western countries.

Now that the fund is about to exceed the 7 percent barrier, the question is where to invest the freed money. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) strongly recommends continuing to transfer NWF funds to the West, thereby, one way or another, financing economics hostile countries. However, this time Moscow intends to go the other way and start investing nationwide money in domestic projects.

Well why, w- "I do not believe". Very much even, I believe, the money will go where it always went - into the pockets of "friends", "responsible", "patriotically oriented businessmen-entrepreneurs and bankers" (as VVP called them in due time, while noting that in Russia no "oligarchs"). Well, not to create the same 25 million "high-paying, high-tech" jobs (money) to send them, in the end, all. And so money will go to the notorious "national" projects, which no one has seen in the eyes and will not see - there is talk about the bridge to Sakhalin and the creation of some kind of "digital economy" .... - what kind of money can be "mastered" there -This is "not a trifle, tyrit in your pockets." Vaughn has already created a "quantum phone" - bought a Chinese phone on "Aliexpress", reprogrammed, sealed the original nameplate, and here it is for you a miracle - "domestic technologies" - the beginning of the "digital economy" ...

  But in this - I believe, and even very much! The fact that the money will go to them is 100% certainty. But GDP - I do not believe the word at all. Believe him - do not respect yourself. Lies on a blue eye, as always.

Trepatnya. The money supply to GDP ratio is currently 45%. This means that the economy is not at home 55% minimum! So calculate how many trillions you need to pour.

Based on the Zionist component of money managers, this money will not go to any Russian projects. And the point.

Anything is better than pouring into the economy and infrastructure of a potential enemy. Is it really slow, but it comes? Or has the protracted lobby of "market and globalists" at the top finally weakened?
Still, once again I am convinced: in terms of playing for a long time, in the west there are only one. The capitalists, in a word, would quickly hit the jackpot, and in the pocket, this is where the plans end. And so after all, "they are sawing the branch on which they sit with their legs dangling" - well, they would not press the tails of our leaders at home, so Russian money would flow to them, and they climbed into the bottle, they wanted more, they decided to cut off the supply of our energy carriers, that is, the main feeding trough ... Here you see, and ours finally started thinking ... And not only in the Russian Federation, and in China, and in Africa, and in the Arab countries ... lately everyone seems to be not so reliable

various infrastructure, production and other projects in developed western countries

They are reliable for the West, and if anything, these projects and national welfare will remain there, as usual, they have always been and all the time before that, but we will be left "with a nose" ...

  Apparently, the globalist economists began to realize that in the case of "senseless and merciless", no one expects them in the West.

Well now you can invest in internal projects, it’s just that the situation changed quite quickly due to Trump’s stupidities, who believed that he would force everyone to invest in the US economy with threats to the whole world. And Russia is no longer in 2005-2010, we have plenty for the first case of currency and gold reserves. Now we can afford to build and create what is necessary in the country, although the country's economy works hardly for a third of the possible.

Financing infrastructure projects in other countries is a crime in principle. In the courtyard of war. Real war, but by other means. So far without firing and rocket attacks. Accordingly, one must act as in a war. Urgently boost your economy. The authorities, unfortunately, are hoping to make friends with the West. Ugh! ...

MWF is almost a gopnik who only destroy. Give an example when the IMF acted for the good of the people. Yes, never. In general, they cannot be listened to, but rather act in the opposite direction.
