Eaters pension money handed out adviceApril 26, 2016Kudrin considered inevitable increase in retirement ageAlexei Kudrin The retirement age in Russia in any case be raised. This was stated by former Minister of Finance, who led the board of
the Center for Strategic Research, Alexei Kudrin, reports "Interfax".Eugene Gontmaher how Russians better prepare for retirement"I am confident that the retirement age will be raised, the issue in some models of how this is done. Sooner or later. We have no doubt. The question when - a year later, after three or after five, but in any case it will be ", - quotes agency the words.
He pointed out that raising the retirement age is carried out primarily for the sake of pensioners. As soon as a society begins to understand the problem of imbalances in the pension system, increase in the output period of well-deserved rest will appear more and more supporters, said Kudrin.According to the latest survey of the National Agency for Financial Studies, the majority of Russians (66 percent) oppose raising the retirement age.This topic is raised periodically by representatives of the financial and economic bloc of the government. Thus, the Minister of Economic Development Alexei Ulyukayev said on March 22, which raising the retirement age in Russia should be declared at the end of 2016. Against such a measure serves a social bloc of the government, in particular the Ministry of Labor.Under current Russian law, women are beginning to receive a pension from 55 years, men - 60 years.-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
"The imbalance of the pension system" is the result of the activities of Kudrin, who allowed to take away the pension funds, as finance minister, and also gave the go-ahead for the privatization of many state-owned enterprises that have been built, including and using pension money. Now these companies are profitable to private owners, but not to pensioners. That's when Kudrin pensions completely shifted to the working population, pretending to do anything pensioners to the pension fund and are not listed.It's time to ask with such reformers who create problems and enrich people oligarchy.As Kudrin burned pension money in the "furnace" of inflation?
"Capercaillie" on lek
End of the year, as well as to be expected, gave people a lot of all sorts of predictions for the future and various desires. Do not stay aside and the Ministry of Finance figures. Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin, the TV channel "Vesti24" promised the Russians "the worst year for the world economy in the post-war period." "Russia budget deficit next year could reach 1.5-2.5 trillion rubles, inflation will exceed 13 percent, and for one dollar will be given 31-32 rubles."
"The effect of the devaluation gradually felt, I mean the weakening of the ruble, it's been this year, is now more than 29 rubles per dollar, and once it was 24, and now we expect that the average is 31-32 rubles next year , "- said the head of the Ministry of Finance.
Of course, the worst year will be for ordinary Russian citizens, not to Kudrin, so just rejoiceth his Victoria over the people that could see the spectators' Vesti24 "channel.
And how else can evaluate the case, forecasts and statements of the Ministry of Finance, but the robbery of the people? After all, ever since Kudrin led the Ministry of Finance, inflation only grew, and the officials came up to her more and more explanations. Previously, they have stated that inflation is the result of high oil prices, now we hear the opposite, that inflation - is the result of low oil prices.
Assurances same Kudrin that financial problems will not be solved at the expense of social services and the interests of the public sector will not be affected, given, if not idiocy, the cynicism of the highest standard.
"We have several reorient spending, but will not reduce them. This does not affect any wages or pensions. All these budget expenditures will be carried out in one hundred percent volume. State employees do not have to worry. Neither the military nor the doctors and teachers of the federal budget. In Russia, on the subjects of salary, again, for the payment of social benefits always have enough funds ", - stressed the Minister.
It is not affected! Inflation accelerates the rise in prices, but the interests of the people, and, in particular, state employees, doctors, teachers, will not be affected according to Kudrin. Social benefits may have to be paid in full, but that the purchasing power of the ruble bude significantly reduced, and thus the standard of living of those same teachers and doctors. If we consider that in terms of reduced production nobody will raise wages and benefits, and some even lose their jobs, it is possible to fully evaluate the statements of the Ministry of Finance.
After Kudrin gave their forecasts for 2009 and the first deputy chairman Alexei Ulyukayev. "Inflation next year will amount to 10-12%", -zayavil first deputy chairman Alexei Ulyukayev.
"Reduction money supply, world energy and food prices, a credit crunch in the economy, as well as a slowdown in revenue growth of business and household work in favor of controlling the growth of prices", - said Ulyukayev.
Says !!! "... A credit crunch in the economy, as well as a slowdown in the growth of business income and households." What accurate predictions! "Control of the rise in prices" - from whose hand? It seems, from the field of psychiatry.
Next, Ulyukayev said that inflation accelerates: "The weakening of the ruble against the currencies of our counterparties, ceteris paribus, it affects the price level - more expensive imports."
A ruble, I think, is weakening itself, without the participation of the Central Bank?
As clearly seen from the interview Kudrin and Ulyukayev, it is the fact that their departments, and they especially do not intend to change the financial policy of the state. We do not intend to protect the interests of the majority of Russian citizens, and continue to ensure the dominance of the interests of the higher bureaucracy and suppliers of hydrocarbon raw materials, continuing to fool the people of his head, meaningless rhetoric.
Not to be unfounded give a few examples from the history of the reign of Kudrin and his "glorious" struggle against inflation taken from the forum site "Derbent wall."
In early 2006, we read in the newspaper "Vedomosti": "The government can not keep inflation within the planned framework In the first half of February, prices rose by 0, 8%, and by the end of the month, inflation may reach 1.2%, economists predict the first.. two weeks of February, inflation was 0, 8%, said yesterday the Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Zhukov. In February last year, prices rose by 1, 2%.
According to data released by the Ministry of Economic Development, in February, inflation could reach 1.3-1.5%, and by the end of the first two months of the year - already 3.9%. It seems that the 9 percent annual growth in the bar, set in the budget as the maximum possible price, will overcome much earlier period. "
"When the government approves the budget for the current year (2006) we were promised to keep inflation in tight rein. And do not give her a break for 8, 5% for the whole year 2006. Moreover, puffing out his cheeks, officials said that they are quite capable . by 2008 to drive it into the framework of 3 - 4% Alas, it took only two months, and stubborn inflation wiped her nose with our financial authorities: defeated half of their annual plan "," Komsomolskaya Pravda "Valery Bhutan...
It took one and a half years, and we once again hear the power struggles with inflation, which successfully overcomes these unlucky fighters.
"Inflation, which so unsuccessfully, to" fight "the Ministry of Finance is not reduced. Second consecutive month prices are rising faster than in 2006, the Ministry of Finance and members of the government hastily looking for excuses price increases and the depreciation of the ruble, not wanting to look in the mirror.
The Finance Ministry believes that the situation will help to correct the summer deflation, which depends on the harvest. "
"The central bank could not take inflation from oil prices," writes "Gazeta". "... Responsible for the project of monetary policy yesterday had the first deputy chairman of the Central Bank Alexey Ulyukayev. To soften the militant deputies, the first thing he told me how hard it is to work in the Central Bank forecasts inflation of 5.2% to the Central Bank.", And on the basis of year -. 8% within the Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank takes credit for the influx could be sterilized.
The acute crisis of power, the more evident discrepancy between the reality and the reflection of this reality in the media. This disparity has become so obvious that even loyal to the government newspaper "Izvestia" talked about it and published an article by Anne Kaledin "food prices are rising faster than inflation."
"When announce official data on inflation, it is nothing but bewilderment they not be indignant vyzyvayut.- Kaledin - We all go shopping and see the prices are going up. Purse empties all swiftly, and the "paper" inflation year-on-year falls. Very indicative in this sense was the last week. We were told that in June, prices rose by 1%. For the summer rate is high, but not fatal. But at the same time the cost of the minimum set of products increased by 4.8% in June, and since the beginning of the year - by 13.1%. That's the explanation of our bewilderment. "
From 1 to 22 October, inflation in Russia amounted to 1.3%, from the beginning of the year prices rose by 8.9%, and now their growth for the year could exceed 10%, according to Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Kudrin.
To combat inflation, Kudrin recalled, used export and import duties. By Region was a wave of price fixing; the largest retail chains and manufacturers of frozen prices for six key products until 31 January. FAS filed in 17 regions of 40 cases. The measures have helped, says Kudrin: the second half of October, food prices growth slowed down twice.
But core inflation continues to accelerate. In September, it reached a record 1.6% in October, according to Kudrin estimated to grow by 1.5-2%.
"Measures taken by the Government, could not stop the rise in prices. Inflation in October was 1.6%, ie was twice higher than a month earlier. And the most important food products went up by another 10-30%. But worst of all, that the authorities' decision spanned the rise in prices in 2008.
In October 2007, inflation amounted to 1.6%, said on Tuesday the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat). Although the government has launched an active struggle, but the price increase was two times more than in September (0.8%) and simply not comparable with the 0.3% inflation rate, fixed in October 2006. "
Inflation since the beginning of the year was 9.3%. Thus, it remained unattainable not only the government's plans for 2007 (8%), but also the results of the previous year, when total inflation was 9%. " The newspaper "Izvestia"
"For the first two weeks of October price growth was 0.9%, including for the first week inflation was 0.5%, and for the second - 0.4%," - said Deputy Economic Development Minister Andrei Belousov
At the same time Belousov said that the government and the central bank has the tools to curb rising prices. "
Vice-Premier and Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin said after a cabinet meeting said that the Finance Ministry is focused not on the official forecast of price increases of 8% and inflation at 10%.
"Russian monetary authorities for the first time acknowledged that the rapid rise in prices will continue in 2008. Meanwhile, the ministry insists that inflation next year will not exceed 6-7%. " "NG"
Elections, new elections, debate, fiery speeches, castling, national projects, a change of course, and so on and so forth, but inflation and rising prices remain enviable stability. As the saying goes: love comes and goes, and always want to eat.
"The government admits its defeat in the fight against inflation. In November, the Economic Development Ministry estimated that it will amount to 0.9-1%. Even though it is less than October's 1.6%, but more than in September, when the government began to sound the alarm. Future projections are disappointing. Factors pushing prices up, remain. "
"The government has handed over another position in the fight against inflation. Yesterday, the ministry was forced to once again raise the forecast growth of prices on the results of the outgoing year. At this time, another 0.5% to 11-11.5%. Experts believe that this strap in contrast to all previous forecasts, is unlikely to be exceeded. " "News"
How to write !!! The government has handed over another position in the struggle. You may think that the information comes from the front. And where is the front? And if all fights are carried out or is only an appearance? And if you look closely, we can firmly say that the visibility.
Fighting inflation is the government, and the victims of the people appeared again.
The government forecast for inflation in 2008. "For 2008, the government plans, it will amount to 7.5-8.5%. "The task of reducing inflation to 7.5-8.5% - difficult, but it must perform," - said on Thursday the head of the Ministry of Economic Development Elvira Nabiullina.
Never within the declared inflation, Kudrin began again to build forecasts for the next year trying to convince people that in 2008 the Ministry of Finance and the head accurately fulfill promises. Be believed with difficulty!
"Inflation in 2008 will be 8.5%, says Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin. During its surge earlier in the year, according to the minister, followed by price cuts
"We expect to reduce inflation in the next year to 8.5%", - said Deputy Prime Minister and head of the Ministry of Finance Alexei Kudrin, in an interview, "the final program" NTV channel on Sunday. "At the beginning of the year, inflation will continue to grow more rapidly, but we expect a significant reduction in their mid-year. We hope that in 2008, inflation curbed ", - explained the Minister.
It would seem that the state of the last forces trying to inflation is not strongly affected the prosperity of the population. As soon as it does not - "freezes" the price increases incomes of the poor so that they suffer less from price increases ... But all his worries only cause criticism and discontent. That's Institute of Globalization and Social Movements (IGSO) categorically said this week - Inflation in Russia is generated by the Ministry of Finance policy.
Ensure victory over inflation was much more difficult than the victory of "United Russia" in the elections. Ministry of Economic Development, for example, suddenly cheerful reports that the official rate of price growth will not exceed 12% (about 8 percent plan, delivered at the beginning of the year and do not remember). A more convincing representatives of the Cabinet and use all political technology acceptance, saying that if not for the timely actions of the government, prices in general could increase by 30-40%.
"Milton Friedman reminded us that inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon. In Russia, the monetary base growth of more than twice the laid down by the Central Bank in the performance of 13-17 percent, and the growth of money supply increased from 30 to about 50 percent in the past year and a half. An important factor fueling excessive growth of the money supply, was the weakening of fiscal discipline in the run-up to presidential elections.
Money supply growth in Russia reinforces the reluctance of the Central Bank to increase the rate of the ruble. His unique policy in this regard the central bank raised the attractiveness of foreign debt for Russian banks. This resulted in the strengthening of the external balance of the Russian capital account, for the sterilization of which the Central Bank is not political tools. "
Desmond Lachman - American Enterprise Institute researcher.
What is still not clear? Inflation, as more than once or twice argued, is monetary in nature, and therefore are to blame for its power pumped circulation unsecured money signs.
"Prime Minister Viktor Zubkov appointed his deputy - Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin commander of anti-inflation front. On Thursday, opening a government meeting, Zubkov announced the creation of a special governmental working group to curb rising prices. Kudrin led a group, the head of MERT Elvira Nabiullina and Minister of Agriculture Alexei Gordeyev became his deputies.
Kudrin's team should be to make a real breakthrough: to ensure the reduction of inflation, and not only before but also after the presidential elections, to the final rate of price growth was much lower than last year's 11.9%. "
What made Kudrin at the front of the brigade combat inflation? Thirteen percent inflation in 2008, provides a clear answer - nothing!
Let us examine, as it should, and punish, anybody, this setup gives the government its citizens reporting that they make producers and sellers of socially important goods to freeze prices. And the newspapers vied inform citizens that "Russian officials and agreed with the manufacturers and sellers of products that the prices are not changed before May 1".
"Kudrin connects high January inflation is to increase tariffs for services of natural monopolies. He drew the attention of the MPs that any one of the following months, the tariffs will not be increased.
Kudrin also believes that the objective circumstances suggest that inflation in 2008 will be lower than in 2007
Kudrin said that the additional inflow of capital in 2007 amounted to 67 billion dollars in Russia. In addition, according to him, last year was 1.7 trillion rubles, "published and thrown into the economy."
ITAR-TASS
"Food prices in February continued to grow. Most - 22% - rose sugar. Markedly increased the prices of bread, milk and meat products.
