First report of the Presidium of the Economic Council will focus on the acceleration of economic growth and the various sources of this growth, said one of the officials - a member of the Economic Council under the President.The Council is chaired by President Vladimir Putin, and it is the economic aide to President Andrei Belousov, the chairman of the Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina, president of Sberbank German Gref, Chairman of the Committee of Civil Initiatives Alexei Kudrin, the rector of the Academy of Civil Service (RANHiGS) Vladimir Mau and presidential economic adviser Sergei Glazyev.Broad-based Economic Council under the President was going to only two times, it included many experts, and this format is not like Putin. According to a source the newspaper said it was like "in the farce" - "a lot of PR, offering a variety of irresponsible ideas." As a result, Council it was decided to narrow down the number of participants: quite Kudrin, Gref and Mau."The first two recent rush to participate in reforms here for them and will be able to", - said the source "Vedomosti".The Kremlin and the government has a lot to understand that in the economic agenda of a vacuum, recognizes one of the sources of the newspaper. To reduce the budget and maintain reserve funds for the presidential election in 2018 - this is not the agenda, and even more so it is unclear how to live after these elections.President Minchenko Consulting Yevgeny Minchenko believes is right, that Putin's election program decided to think about now, but the specific agenda will appear only in the second half of 2017, he said. In his opinion, it is rather the discussion.Kudrin and Gref recently actively demonstrate that they have an alternative point of view, the political scientist said. However, expect a breakthrough from the Economic Council of the Presidium of the meetings is not necessary, since it is rather an attempt to create a platform for people's views, alternative government.At the end of December 2015 to Bloomberg sources reported that former Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin, who now heads the Committee of Civil Initiatives, is in talks with Vladimir Putin and other senior officials of the return of the power to rectify the deteriorating economic situation in Russia.
