The National Welfare Fund now has about $ 200 billion, so Dmitry Anatolyevich’s famous meme “No money, but you hold on” is not entirely legitimate, because there is money, says Doctor of Economics, professor, ex-Minister of Economy of the Russian Federation Andrei Nechaev.
“Then the question arises: what should be that“ black swan ”, which, apparently, our government is waiting for and for the sake of which this money is not only kept, but continues to accumulate. This year the National Welfare Fund has been actively growing. In a pandemic situation, in a situation of a catastrophic decline in living standards and the departure from business of entire sectors, we accumulated a pod. It remains only to assume that our government knows something that we do not know. Either it will be some kind of another geopolitical scam, as a result of which the sanctions will become such that SWIFT will be turned off, banned all operations with the state debt, will ban the export of oil, as was the case with Iran – the oil embargo, or something else ” , – such an opinion was expressed by the expert during a round table in the news agency “Rosbalt”.
Accumulating a bankroll, the government continues to pursue a strange budgetary policy, Nechaev said. “In the next year’s budget, social expenditures are reduced by 640 billion rubles, including for health care – in the context of a pandemic, the costs of supporting the economy are decreasing, the costs of implementing a number of state programs are decreasing. But spending on law enforcement, without defense, is growing by 17%. It is quite obvious that the government internally took a course not to cajole the population, in a good sense of the word, but to tighten the screws, “Nechaev believes.
