Western countries is unlikely in the near future will cancel penalties against the Russian economy, however, address the situation in the South-East of Ukraine can contribute to the removal of part of the minor restrictions, said the ex-Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation, head of Department of civil initiatives (THD) Alexei Kudrin.
Western countries in response to the reunification of the Russian Federation with the Crimea and the situation in Ukraine among other things prohibited to lend the largest Russian banks and small oil and gas companies for a period of more than 30 days. In addition, they banned the supply of equipment and services for deepwater exploration and production of oil, work in the Arctic and in the shale oil in Russia.
" punishment for a long time. I talked a lot with the businessmen, they believe that because of the problem of Crimea until not resolved, then the punishment will continue. Their abolition would respect the West of the current status of Crimea. But I guess When mutual compromises, for example, if you manage to resolve the problems in the South-East of Ukraine, we will have some reduction of the punishment, not the most important and not the most painful, " Kudrin said in an interview
along with the change of economic course can be provided to the growth of the domestic economy even in terms of punishment, says the head of THD." With the right economic policy, and not as at present, economic growth in such conditions you can provide. But in General become more competitive, we will not, " said Kudrin.
for example, other BRICS Countries: China, Brazil, India, will use the full spectrum of opportunities in the global economy, technological and financial - and Russia are limited, which means the degradation of a number of sectors, " he explained.
"in the next few years we will be able to achieve impressive success only in local areas, the most important thing in a military complex," said Kudrin, who was fired after opponents to the address of the then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for excessive expenditures on the military-industrial complex.
