Russia’s President Vladimir Putin
President Vladimir Putin held a meeting on the monitoring of their performance four years ago in May decrees. RBC understood as officials unable to report on the achievement of results, not always achieving their
What is the May decrees?
May decrees signed by Vladimir Putin on the day of inauguration of the president for the third time – 7 May 2012. Total is 11 documents with extensive tasks for improvement, health economics, education, demography, science, foreign policy, public administration system, the armed forces and so on. Period extend to 2018-2020 years
Overall, the May decrees -. 218 is charged by the government. Order these heterogeneous: the key are characterized by “quantitative targets” (eg, an increase in labor productivity by 2018 and a half times compared to 2011), while others involve more “paper” work (preparation of regulations, strategic documents, action plans, etc. ). The documents stated that the country needs to reach a certain socio-economic indicators or targets, for example, to increase investment, increase the salaries of doctors and teachers, create millions of high-end jobs, to privatize, to increase labor productivity, improve the position of Russian universities in global educational rankings and etc.
How well executed orders?
The government has reported May 16 that four years after the signing of the May decrees holds about 70% of total orders and 88% – the number of orders that had to be made to the present time. Nominally behind schedule is not critical, but what order within the May decrees often performed only formally, without essential change, recognizes the president himself. Evaluate the results of this work should be “not on the number of orders taken to control or written reports volume & lt; … & gt; – People should feel a real change for the better, “Putin said on Monday at a meeting of the Presidential Commission on monitoring achievement of the targets of socio-economic development.
Formally officials failed to control and remove the 154 of May orders as of April 30, 2016, according to government materials. But, for example, the All-Russian People’s Front (ONF, held May decrees implementation monitoring) estimates that the majority of such orders withdrawn from the control is not actually performed as it should. ONF activists believe that the government has fully complied with only 24 instructions of the President of 162, or about 15%, said on Monday, co-chairman of the Central Headquarters of the ONF Brechalov Alexander (quoted by TASS). “Out of 162 of our findings on the government’s report on the withdrawal of the corresponding instructions to the control we have confirmed the feasibility of removal from control only 24 orders. Figures just such, we believe that 24 orders actually made, the rest in varying degrees, are not fulfilled, “- he said,
Why did the government is difficult to carry out the May decrees.?
The authorities there are objective circumstances that impede implementation of the May decrees. Even in 2013, Putin admitted that he deliberately “somewhat overstated the bar” in setting those goals, and then there was a Ukrainian conflict and sanctions against Russia were introduced, then oil prices went into a prolonged nosedive, and the Russian economy plunged into recession. Opportunities for financing the budget of the May decrees decreased significantly and many of the indicators of socio-economic development regressed. “Obviously & lt; … & gt ;, we have that work in more difficult conditions than those that were at the time of signing documents”, – said the Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on May 11 about the implementation of the May decrees. Putin on Monday urged to work “without reference to the complexity and external constraints».
How to carry out orders officials not performing?
Experts School of Economics, said at a recent conference of the April school, named several strategies that enable enforcement authorities to execute orders formally without worrying about achieving the goals of the merits. Firstly, due to changes in the methodology for calculating the target. For example, according to the decrees of May, 2020 should be created 25 million “high-end jobs.” Back in February 2012, the Federal State Statistics Service under this understanding workplaces where the added value exceeded the level determined by the average level of GDP per working place for the six largest economies in the world. Order of the Ministry of November 2013 changed the criteria: high-performance environments are determined by the average monthly salary – thus the concept of productivity distorted, according to the HSE report, as indicators increased by increasing the salaries of teachers, doctors and researchers to the average for the economy of the region <. / p>
The second way – to include in the list of “excessive” number matching departments. Doparlamentskogo term review is not regulated, so you always have the opportunity to refer to the tightened coordination of departments and work of the State Duma profile committee, thereby postponing the execution of orders. The third strategy – shifting the responsibility for the execution of orders to the regions. This happened, in particular, to the transition of public sector employees to the “effective contract” (a reference to the quality and quantity of services provided), gave an example in the HSE. Such shortcomings “poruchencheskoy” system, largely remaining from the Soviet era, stimulate some public figures (such as the head of Sberbank German Gref) to promote new public administration system concept.
What are the socio-economic order is unlikely will be completed?
For example, labor productivity, in line with the May decrees, must by 2018 to increase by half compared with 2011 levels. Meanwhile, according to Rosstat, the end of 2014 compared to 2011, productivity increased by 6% – an average annual growth of 2%. For the 2018 performance has reached the desired level in the years 2015-2018 productivity should grow on average by 9.1% per year.
Another object of the decrees – the establishment in 2020 of 25 million high-end jobs. According to the calculations Accounting Chamber, the 2014 figure was 16.95 million units. In this case, to achieve the goal of this parameter is necessary, so that it grew at least 1.6 million per year. At the same time, according to Rosstat, year after year growth is reduced: from 1.85 million units in 2012 to 1.12 million units in 2013 and to 0.79 million units in 2014. In 2015, according to the statistical agency, their number decreased by 9%, or 1.65 million
Another issue decrees -. Bring the volume of domestic production of medicines from the “list of strategically important drugs and the list of vital necessary and important to 90% “- turned out to be in jeopardy. This may be due to the massive failure of domestic pharmaceutical companies on the production of medicines in the list of vital and essential drugs (VED) in February, the FAS said that the market of medicines can disappear more than 300 domestic cheap drugs, whose production becomes unprofitable. Later the Ministry of Industry has proposed to abolish the state regulation of prices on cheap drugs to support manufacturers: Office resulted in data that says that in April-December 2015 from 67 enterprises producing drugs lower (up to 50 rubles.) And medium (50 to 500 rubles .) price segment of VED, 26 companies have temporarily suspended production of several drugs. The peak of the abandonment of production fell in October 2015, a total of 182 from the market took the drug. In April, Vladimir Putin has instructed the government to take a decision on supporting Russian manufacturers of cheap drugs from the list of VED, the order must be carried out before June 15
The authorities have repeatedly said that the May decrees made one of the main tasks:. Increased salaries to doctors and teachers. By 2018, it should be twice as high wages in the region. “If before the start of the implementation decrees have the ratio of salaries in education to the average salary in Russia was 67%, then in 2014 it is 79%. In health care, the ratio increased from 78 to 87% “, – said Vladimir Putin in May last year. As discussed at the meeting in the White House a few days before the meeting of the Presidential Commission for the implementation of the decrees of May, the average salary of doctors by the end of 2015 reached 48 thousand. Rub., In 2012 it was 35.9 thousand. Rub. Experts of the HSE, RANHiGS and the Academy of Labour and Social Affairs in the Ministry of Labor commissioned by the report indicated that the doctors in 2015 salary was 156% of the average in the economy, the teachers – 106%, writes “Kommersant”. But in the end, given the level of inflation, this increase remains invisible, and the purchasing power of public sector in 2015 has dropped to the level of 2012.
According to the vice-rector of the Higher School of Economics (HSE) Andrei Zhulin, the task of raising salaries to state employees was carried out three years since the publication of the May decrees. And “only this year there was a pullback back, the tempo specified by the plan of increase of salaries, perform not all regions” (the HSE monitors the execution of the May decrees in favor of the presidential administration). According to him, with public sector wages are not a problem in the fact that inflation has eaten them, but the fact that the regions have not explained how salaries can be increased. “He was given a signal to look for reserves to enhance not within the industry in the region, and within specific institutions. Failure to understand where to take money, how to tie a salary increase to the quality of services has led to a wave of reorganization of agencies, which was incomprehensible to the people, especially doctors. It is in the health sector, this problem has become a firing people and closing the institutions “, – Zhulin said.
