Russia's economy forecast a sharp drop in 2015. Obama, take her to her Putin! – Zarusskiy.org

01.02.2015

The Russian economy in 2014 showed the lowest growth rate over the past four years – only 0.6%.

According to the forecasts of the Central Bank, in the first half of 2015 decline in GDP due to low oil prices and the weakening of the ruble could reach 3.2%. With a further reduction in hydrocarbon prices rate of decline may be even more significant.

The Russian economy in 2014 showed an increase of 0.6%, according to data released Friday by Rosstat. In 2011, the figure was 4.3% in 2012 – 3.4% and in 2013 – 1.3%. Thus, the growth rate of GDP, compared with the previous year decreased by 0.7% and reached the minimum value over the past four years.

Moreover, as predicted by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation in the first half of 2015, the Russian economy will show decline to 3,2%.

The regulator expects that in the context of high prices for imported investment goods, the deteriorating financial performance of companies, conservation sanctions limited availability of long-term financial resources and the tightening of credit conditions continue to decline in investment in fixed assets. This will entail a reduction in real wages and a slowdown in retail lending, which in turn will cause a decrease in consumer activity.

«The main reasons for the fall of GDP growth began to decrease in consumption and a sharp decline in investment. In addition, the role played and reduced lending amid high interest rates, “- said” Gazeta.ru “chief economist at Deutsche Bank in Russia Yaroslav Lissovolik.

According to him, the Russians are now trying once again waive any and all expenses due to the fall in their real incomes and high inflation.

«If you consider all these factors and take into account the current oil prices, the forecast decline in GDP of 3.2%, with the possible partial recovery in the second half of the year seems quite justified. However, if oil prices decline further, then we can expect an even greater fall of GDP growth “- summed up Lissovolik, according to Oil of Russia.

Note that if you struggle with falling oil prices, political actions hardly realistic (if not to bring these actions to the present war), the lifting of sanctions for the US and its allies against Russia, beating on the Russian economy, it is you can.

To fight for the lifting of sanctions the US and its allies against Russia can most effectively be at the US Embassy (“the Ambassador John Tefft”) in Moscow, and US Consulates in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Vladivostok. Pickets for the lifting of sanctions with a simple requirement: “Obama, take their self Putin!” Will perfectly legal even Putin “laws” and are very effective in the fight against US sanctions and their allies, both old and new potential.

Of course, to effectively fight against the sanctions can be and all other US missions in the world.

Russia’s GDP: dismal forecasts – Club Industry Journalism

Russia's GDP: dismal forecasts – Club Industry Journalism

The Bank of Russia predicts drop in GDP only for the first half of the year – 3.2%. Further expected deterioration of economic parameters that are affected by all the sanctions imposed and the unfavorable external economic activity. A strip of light in the darkness does not seem long. Alexei Ulyukayev calls all restraint.
Here is a partial list of ills: raising the price of imports intended for investment, the decline in the levels of all financial corporations, the minimum availability of capital, reducing the civil revenue decline in consumer revival, and so on.
As said Alexei Ulyukayev, who currently holds the post of head of Minekonorazvitiya, GDP is expected to decline 4 – 5%, only in the case that throughout the year will keep the oil price. Among the main problems highlighted Ulyukayev decline in fuel costs and strong “sanctions onslaught».
Growth in the economy last year was the lowest in the last five years.
All propheci es of the Central Bank of Russia with regard to reduction of GDP next year cheerful. One of the European banks heralds a drop of 5%. At the same time, the agency portends inflation 8.5%.
These predictions are very sad if equal to the level of the United States. In the previous year, their GDP rose more than 2%, and this is projected to increase to 2.9%, which is almost impossible for the country. If we take into account that the US economy is eight times greater than Russia, then in a short time it will jump to a quarter of GDP. If you save the same development, in a few years the US GDP will be added to one of Russia for a year.

Bank of Russia gave disappointing forecasts for the domestic economy: annual decline of Russia’s GDP is only the first half of 2015 will be 3.2%. In the future, the Central Bank expects a significant deterioration of the macroeconomic parameters due to unfavorable foreign economic conjuncture and suffocating Western sanctions. Lumen in this economic darkness for a long time is not expected, and the government mouths Ulyukayev able to call only “preserve the peace of mind»

This is only a limited list of economic “joy” predicted Central Bank: the high price of imported goods investment destination, a sharp decline in financial performance of corporations, limited access to capital and as a consequence decline in investment in fixed assets, the fall in real wages, the slowdown in retail lending, the decline in consumer activity, the list goes on.

According to the Minister of Economic Development Alexei Ulyukayev, GDP will fall by 4.5 per cent, if during 2015 the oil price will remain at $ 45 per barrel. Among the reasons for the low growth Ulyukayev called the problem of the labor force, lower oil prices and strong “sanctions pressure».

The pace of economic growth in 2014 (0.6%) were the lowest since 2009. In 2012, Russia’s GDP grew by 3.4% in 2011 – 4.3%, in 2010 – 4.5%. In the crisis year of 2009 the Russian economy fell by 7,8%.

And the forecasts of the Central Bank with respect to the fall in GDP in the current year is still quite optimistic – European Bank for Reconstruction and Development predicts the fall of the Russian economy by 5%, Fitch 4% . At the same time, the agency expects a modest inflation 8,5%.

Such predictions particularly disappointing, if you look at the US indices. Their GDP grew last year by more than 2%, and in 2015 is expected to accelerate growth to an incredible 2.9% for the US. Given that their economies (16724000000000) in more than 8 times larger than Russia (2015000000000), this year it will grow by a quarter of Russia’s GDP. While maintaining the current dynamics in a couple of years, the US GDP will grow annually by one, and after two decades of Russia’s economy in the year!

On the Ukrainian wine will fight ruble – Moskovsky Komsomolets

On the Ukrainian wine will fight ruble – Moskovsky Komsomolets

We introduce state regulation on alcohol beverages

Yesterday, 19:44, Views: 3863

In Russia introduced state regulation of prices for wine and champagne . Rosalkogolregulirovanie will deal with this, which is already five years sets the minimum selling price for spirits, including vodka. In the Union of winemakers and viticulturists said “MK” that counterfeit overcome this measure does not help, but to win dumping and support domestic producers is quite capable.

 & # x421; & # x443; & # x43A; & # x440; & # x430; & # x438 ; & # x43D; & # x441; & # x43A; & # x438; & # x43C; & # x432; & # x438; & # x43D; & # x43E; & # x43C; & # x431; & # x443; & # x434; & # x443; & # x442; & # x431; & # x43E; & # x440; & # x43E; & # x442; & # x44C; & # x441; & # x44F; & # x440; & # x443 ; & # x431; & # x43B; & # x435; & # x43C;

Selling prices for liquor in the country established in 2009. Last year, the Rosalkogolregulirovanie conducted twice the price increase and now, for example, the minimum cost of a half-liter of vodka is 220 rubles. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree that gives the state the right to control the price of wine and champagne.

«We have several years sought the introduction of a minimum selling price for alcohol products produced from grapes. – Said the head of the Union of winemakers and viticulturists Leonid Popovich. – It will put a barrier to dumping and help develop the industry. As is known, according to the state program of agricultural development in five years in Russia should be 140 thousand. Hectares of vineyards. Now, along with the Crimea, about 100 thousand. To achieve this goal it is necessary to develop processing and marketing. Until recently, have not yet jumped course, our winemakers was hard to compete with products made of Italian and Spanish wine, because of their low cost. Now a similar situation with the Ukrainian wine. It is still cheaper than domestic. In addition, the minimum selling price sets a screen, and otherwise manipulated. For example, in the regions there are cases where large producers initially lowered the price below the cost of clearing the sh elves from the competition, and then again raised. FAS to deal with it is difficult, and the process takes a long time. There are other cases. Manufacturer, to repay debt owed to the bank sells the wine is actually at a loss, thus making the imbalance in the market ».

Popovich believes that the measure taken to combat counterfeiting is not particularly helpful. “Counterfeiting is a wine to which the excise tax is not paid. – The expert continues. – In our industry, no such problem. More counterfeit when unscrupulous manufacturers to reduce the price of its products dilutes any entanglement or plain water ».

According to the estimates of the Union of winemakers and viticulturists now the minimum selling price for wine and champagne should be approximately 90-100 rubles bottle volume of 0.75 liters. At the same time in Russia annually consumed about one billion liters of so-called still and sparkling wines. Half – it is the fault of domestic production.

In general, the decision on state regulation can be put on a par with other measures of the state to support the Russian wine industry. Firstly, it is a return in 2015 of alcohol advertising in the media. Second, the summer will take amendments to the law “On state regulation of production and turnover of ethyl alcohol …”, which will oblige producers on the European model indicated on the label and dry sparkling wine product type: table wines as well as wines, protected geographical indication ( region), or place of origin, ie the fields where the grapes are grown.

For the last two types of wine production excise zeroed or make a purely symbolic. Now he is 8 cents per liter of wine. It is expected that the number of these excise stamps will determine the self-regulatory organization – the Union of winemakers and viticulturists Russia. Visually, these marks will be different from the ordinary. At the same time compensate for the loss of the budget going through the wine beverages, primarily fortified wines. They will increase the excise tax.

By the way, according to the amendments, the regulation of the production of grapes and wine will be divided. Control the production of grapes, including the allocation of subsidies and state aid as a whole, will be the Ministry of Agriculture and regulate the turnover of wine, prices and issuing stamps – Rosalkogolregulirovanie.

Central Bank lowered its key interest rate to 15% – RBC

Central Bank lowered its key interest rate to 15% – RBC

The Board of Directors of the Bank of Russia has decided to reduce the key rate c 17 to 15% per annum. The report of the Central Bank explained that the decision was made due to “a change in the balance of risks accelerating the growth of consumer prices and the cooling of the economy».

«adopted December 15, 2014 Bank of Russia on a sharp increase in the key rate has led to a stabilization inflation and devaluation expectations to the extent that it expected the Bank of Russia. Observed a surge in inflation caused by rapid adjustment of prices to the weakening of the ruble and what has happened is a time-limited character. In the future, inflationary pressures will be restrained by a decrease in economic activity, “- noted in the report of the Central Bank.

At the same time, the Bank recognized that in the near future due to the depreciation of the ruble possible new acceleration of inflation.

The peak annual inflation, according to the Central Bank, reached in the second quarter of 2015, but after that it will start to decline.

«Slower growth in consumer prices will contribute to low aggregate demand while maintaining the total output of goods and services below potential, as well as a moderately strict policy of budgetary expenditures. Annual inflation is expected to decline to below 10% in January 2016 “, – emphasized in the report of the Central Bank.

The head of the Central Bank Nabiullina was quoted as saying in a press release regulator explained that the rate increase to 17% was an emergency measure, which helped to bring down the panic on the currency market and moderate devaluation and inflation expectations.

«key rate at 15% per annum is still quite high and contributes to the achievement of the inflation in the medium term, but not allows excessive cooling of the economy “, – said Elvira.

Chief expert at the Center for Economic Forecasting Gazprombank Yegor Susin believes that the decision of the Central Bank does not have a significant negative impact on inflation. “The impact of inflation can have only the dynamics of the ruble, but it is unlikely to be strong. Current rate cut should not greatly increase inflation, “- he said.

The news of the reduction of the key rate has caused today a new leap of the dollar and the euro. Within a few minutes the dollar on the Moscow Stock Exchange soared to 71 rubles., Which is more than 2 rubles. above the previous day’s close. At the same time, the euro rose to nearly 80.5 rubles., 2.8 rubles. higher than yesterday’s closing.

Head of Dealing Center Metallinvestbank Sergey Romanchuk said RBC that lowering the key rate increases the pressure on the ruble and was taken due to the strong political pressure on the Central Bank.

« High rates significantly limit the ability of lending and economic growth. Bank of Russia, as always, was between Scylla and Charybdis. Central Bank decided that contribute to economic growth is more important than fighting and inflation and affect the exchange rate towards its strengthening. Naturally, the dollar rose after the decision. The decision of the Central Bank can be interpreted in such a way that will allow the ruble to continue to weaken, “- he said.

Portfolio Manager on the bonds of” Raiffeisen Capital “Constantine said Artemov RBC that the debt market reacted to the decision of the Central Bank only yield corporate bonds , a decrease of 2.1 percentage points to levels of 15-17%.

«Perhaps this decision several revive the bond market in corporate bonds now there is some activity. OFZ already fortnight traded with the yield, implying a decrease of the key rate by 2 percentage points, so the government securities regulator’s decision to respond practically will not. On the contrary, their profitability would be increased if left unchanged rate “, – said Artemov.

According to Sucina, a significant positive impact on economic growth and lending decision to reduce the key rate, which he calls the technical, will not .

«Final rates for borrowers remain high. This is due not only to the cost of borrowing from the Central Bank and the rates in the money market, but also the assessment of credit risk in the current situation. Therefore, a significant push for the lending rate cut will not. But at least it will reduce the pressure on the banks and in the long term impact on the reduction of interest rates on the bonds that have a positive impact on the capital of the banking system “, – says Susin.

Chief Economist,” VTB Capital “by Russian Vladimir Kolychev offers wait two weeks, during which time it becomes clear that the Russians will do with their ruble savings.

«If the trend is the reverse inflow of ruble deposits in banks continues, and the pressure on the currency will go too, and the banks will opportunity to reduce rates on deposits as well as loans in the economy “, – says Kolychev.

But the chief economist Vladimir Tikhomirov BCS sure that no consequences for the economy of the key rate reduction will not result.

«rate of 15% compared to 17% of the difference no longer does. We will not see such a sharp decline in the cost of lending and growth in demand for loans, because the drop in demand not only due to the high rates, but also the economic slowdown.

In the near future to be held in Minsk next round of peace consultations (he was appointed on January 30 but first moved to 31st), where Ukraine will offer militias leave Debaltseve and retreat to a position mid-September. Six months ago, Kiev was able to crank out a similar scenario in respect of Mariupol. This time, the representatives of the DNI and LC stated that they are ready to discuss a truce only on their own terms.

 & # x427; & # x435; & # x433; & # x43E; & # x436; & # x434; & # x430; & # x442; & # x44C; & # x43E; & # x442; & # x43F; & # x435; & # x440; & # x435; & # x433; & # x43E; & # x432; & # x43E; & # x440; & # x43E; & # x432; & # x432; & # x41C; & # x438; & # x43D; & # x441; & # x43A; & # x435; & # x43D; & # x430; & # x444; & # x43E; & # x43D; & # x435; & # x441; & # x438; & # x442; & # x443; & # x430; & # x446; & # x438; & # x438; & # x432; & # x414; & # x435; & # x431; & # x430; & # x43B; & # x44C; & # x446; & # x435; & # x432; & # x43E ;?

According to the militia, they are about to surround the 10000th Ukrainian army in the area Debaltseve. Due to the successful offensive in the afternoon on January 30 militiamen were able to raise a flag over City Hall DNR Uglegorsk and went to the area of ​​the north-eastern outskirts of Debaltseve. The morning of 30 January, the representative of Staff militia DNR Edward Basurin reported that the formation of a new boiler is almost finished: “We can not say that we are fully peremknulo all roads in the” pot “. However, DNR and LC units are in line of sight of each other, their artillery fire, they can block the cross road. ” According to him, it is, at least, do not allow Kiev to supply its troops with ammunition.

However, the headquarters of ATO continues to deny his next failure. According to security officials, night attacks on Uglegorsk and Debaltseve were successfully repulsed. But even on the other side of the trenches is not all believe the official statement: “Uglegorsk is under the control of terrorists … Within a few weeks before their troops infiltrated into the city disguised as civilians and was hit from behind,” – said the commander of Ukrainian volunteer battalions ” Donbass “Verkhovna Rada Semen Semenchenko.

In turn, the head of DNR Alexander Zakharchenko said he was willing to let go of Ukrainian soldiers in peace if they immediately lay down their arms. “Guys! My suggestion – put down their weapons and leave. You are fighting with the wrong. You have a chance to save his life. Surrender, and I promise that you will return home, “- he said in an interview from the covered fire Uglegorsk. However, security officials prevented surrender of the newly established volunteer battalions detachments, so that bloodless outcome remains a bit of hope.

Apparently, realizing that the course of the fighting taking shape irreversible catastrophe, ready to grow into another political crisis, the president of Ukraine Poroshenko called as soon as possible to the negotiating table in the Minsk format. In particular, he hopes to negotiate with the militia for an immediate ceasefire and the withdrawal of heavy weapons from the contact line, fixed in Minsk memorandum dated September 19, 2014.

Recall that the first meeting of August in the Minsk format held against the backdrop of lightning offensive militias Mariupol. Then the Ukrainian army to leave their positions, and Ukrainian media wrote about the open military aggression of Russia. And when militia appeared on the verge of the boundaries of Mariupol, Kiev authorities agreed to meet with representatives of the breakaway republics and Minsk signed an agreement providing DNR and LC special status, amnesty and the program of socio-economic revival. The idea is that the regular military defeat of Kiev should turn out to not only the implementation of the republics of former settlements, but even more preferences, and certainly not a retreat to the position five months ago.

Kiev also hopes to regain control of the Russian-Ukrainian border with the participation of the OSCE, to resume the exchange of prisoners and “unlock issue with the supply of essential goods and humanitarian aid” to the affected regions of Donetsk and Luhansk region. The latter, incidentally, is especially important, since the afternoon of 30 January it became known that the place of delivery of humanitarian aid in Donetsk was an artillery shell Kiev troops – killed 5 citizens.

As stated in the press service of the Foreign Ministry of Belarus, meeting was held on 30 January, but on this day the delegation from Kiev has not appeared in Minsk. As stated by the plenipotentiaries of the DNI and LC Denis Pushilin and Vladislav Dane, they return to their republic, and will wait for the official invitation to the OSCE.

Business does not expect a significant economic effect on the decision of the Bank of Russia to reduce its key interest rate

30.01.15 18 : 10

News

The Board of Directors of Bank of Russia January 30, 2015 decided to cut the key interest rate c 17% to 15% per annum, given the change in the balance of risks accelerating the growth of consumer prices and cooling the economy. Details

Note

Sergey Fakhretdinov, a member of the General Council of “Business Russia”, Chairman of the Board of Directors of GC “Ruskompozit”.

The decision of the Central Bank was made under strong pressure with the business community and the media, which were consolidated with the critical attitude. We are together, with one voice, said that the sharp increase in December’s key rate by the Central Bank dealt a powerful blow to the real economy, jeopardizing not only the plans for technical re-equipment industry, but also put forward at the heart of the question of survival of enterprises.

It is doubtful that today’s decision by the Central Bank will bring significant economic effect: the rate change occurred within the statistical error, it is insignificant. It is rather a kind of appeal to the psychology of the market regulator, an attempt to fix the balance and demonstrate control over the situation.

Unfortunately, the interest rates on bank loans are unlikely to be reduced in the near future: it requires more serious tools. While it is hoped that the volume of lending, especially to small and medium-sized businesses, will cease to decline at this rate. This means that more businesses will remain afloat, will be less painful processes associated with mass layoffs and pay cuts employees.

But even these measures less than a half. The next logical step would be the introduction of government guarantees for the issuance of loans targeted at the development and expansion of production to really running small and medium-sized businesses. It is necessary to approve the criteria for obtaining grants industry for compensation of the cost of interest on loans for working capital and (or) the financing of current operations. It is necessary to fix the specific indicators: high productivity, the percentage of the modernization of existing, or the creation of new high-tech jobs, innovative products, export and import capabilities. These measures can support the real sector of the Russian economy to a much greater extent than 2 percent reduction of the key rate by the Central Bank.
