The head of Sberbank described the situation as paradoxical, but not dramatic.

The head of Sberbank, German Gref, said that the Russian economy will be able to return to last year’s figures only within 10 years if no action is taken.

Speaking at a business breakfast of Sberbank, where the construction of the country’s economy in the future was discussed, he said that anti-Russian sanctions affected many sectors of the economy, including finance and industry, fuel and technology sectors.

As RBC writes with reference to his words, the countries that imposed sanctions receive 56% of exports and 51% of imports of the Russian Federation, which is a threat to 15% of Russian GDP, but, nevertheless, the restrictive measures of the West turned out to be milder than world experts believe.

Already now, Gref notes, we can talk about the strengthening of the national currency, the impact of this on inflation.

“Lowering rates and resuming lending to the economy is the most important factor in making it stable”, – the expert explained.

We can even talk about the strengthening of the ruble, which has manifested itself due to many factors in recent months. These include a trade surplus, a decline in demand for foreign currency and a drop in the flow of imports to Russia. It turns out, the analyst notes, that “currency… in Russia, no one needs ”.

Thus Gref describes the situation in the Russian economy as “paradoxical”, but in general, but not “dramatic”.

According to RIA “News”, the decline of the country’s GDP against the background of sanctions was discussed at the SPIEF. The Central Bank’s forecast looks the toughest against this background, predicting a decline in growth by 8-10% back in April.

Now the adjustment looks more optimistic, and in July, probably, the Bank of Russia will present other indicators.

The relevant department, the Ministry of Economic Development, believes that the gross product will decrease by 7.8% by the end of 2021.

Earlier, Topnews wrote that as part of the next package of EU sanctions, German Gref himself was blacklisted.

Vladimir Putin plans to meet with military journalists at the forum.

On Wednesday, June 15, the 25th SPIEF-2022 Economic Forum opened in St. Petersburg. The Forum will become a meeting place for representatives of 127 states. The main theme of these three days was the motto “New World — new opportunities”.

It is already known that Vladimir Putin has adjusted his participation in the SPIEF. The Kremlin assured that the president’s speech would be “extremely important” and “very interesting.”

Vladimir Putin does not plan to have a tea party with the heads of foreign companies, instead of talking with the heads of the world’s media, the president will meet with military journalists who cover the special operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine and their editors-in-chief. The moderator of the panel discussion with Putin’s participation will be RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan.

The reason for the panel discussion was the Kremlin’s concern about the “information adequacy of Western journalists.”

“They all just went crazy speaking Russian,” Dmitry Peskov, Vladimir Putin’s press secretary, expressed his opinion.

It will be possible to participate in the panel discussion for 1 million rubles, MK reports.

One of the notable figures at the SPIEF was Philip Kirkorov, who, in company with the Governor of the Leningrad Region Alexander Drozdenko, signed an agreement on socio-economic cooperation.

According to Kirkorov, he invested in the construction of the Zvezda shopping and entertainment complex in Novosaratovka near St. Petersburg. The cost of the shopping center is almost 1.5 billion rubles.

“At first we wanted to announce a contest in social networks for the name, and then we thought and I decided: the shopping center will be called Zvezda. And what else can it be called?” — the artist explained.

Kirkorov said that in the evening he would “sing” with partners, and also sat in a new Yamaguchi massage chair.

By the way, the Telegram channel Readovka reports that Kirkorov refused to answer questions about the special operation. The artist defiantly turned around and went the other way, saying that the forum was not political.

Attention was attracted to the robot barmaid Dunyasha, who sells ice cream on the forum. Some noticed that the “cashier” was created in the image of the heroines from the “Stepford wives” or saleswomen in the USSR in the 50s of the XX century.

The media found out that Dunyasha was copied from a real woman – she became the wife of the founder of the Perm Gorky Park Rashid Gabdullin Diana. She is also “Mrs. Perm – 2014”. The couple plan to receive a grant from Skolkovo and make 18 such robots.

By the way, there is another Dunyasha in the Perm park. Such a robot costs about $ 10 million.

“Beautiful wife, che. By the way, they have four children, quite a happy family,” Ksenia Sobchak stood up for Gabdulinna.

By tradition, the high prices in the buffet were also interested in the forum. Lunch will cost 4,500 rubles, luxury alcohol in the price reaches several hundred thousand rubles.

“And in the best traditions: eat at home”, – Ksenia Sobchak filmed food prices at the SPIEF and published in her Telegram channel “Bloody Lady”.

Sobchak also showed a video of a robot that works at the 1C stand and always wins.

And the hall of the WEB turned out to be an automated (inhuman) bartender.

Ksenia Sobchak also told about the fact that Alexei Navalny also lit up at the SPIEF. The news feed of the agency was shown on the TASS information stand, it hung just on the news about the oppositionist.

As Topnews wrote earlier, the Kremlin warned that Vladimir Putin would appeal to global investors at the SPIEF. His words will concern the sanctions of the West and the whole world.

Izvestia called the timing of the entry into force of the innovation.

The media became aware of a new payment method that will be available to Russians – cardholders “Mir ”.

According to Izvestia, credit organizations that issue these plastic cards will be able to conduct transactions for the transfer of funds bypassing physical cards.

Payment and refund can be made using a QR code.

The condition for this will be the authentication of the owner of the World, after which he will be able to generate a code on his mobile in the Mir Pay program or in the bank’s application, and, when buying, consider it a scanner in a store or other trading enterprise.

A plastic card is not required in this process.

The innovation will come into force after October 25.

Shortly before that, the Central Bank made a proposal to lift the ban on processing biometric data of 14-year-old Russians in cases where it is allowed by Russian laws.

As Topnews wrote earlier, pensioners were warned about a new way to withdraw money from cards.

The expert explained with which economy it is worth comparing the Russian one.

Political analyst James Door in the author’s show on Youtube said that the US authorities made a mistake by deciding that the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin about the economic power of Russia are a bluff.

According to him, eight years ago, Republican Senator from South Carolina Lindsey Graham stated that Russia can be compared economically with Italy, and it is unclear how the president manages to win poker with such weak cards.

The expert directly stated that at the moment the ruble is becoming the most reliable currency in the world.

At the same time, the expert repeated these words twice, focusing the attention of the subscribers of the channel on this.

He believes that Russia is winning in the economic confrontation with the West, because its opponents had to face the opposite effect of the sanctions imposed – the rise in fuel and food prices around the world.

 “It is extremely rare for the West to make such monstrous mistakes in assessing economies,” RIA Novosti quotes Dora.

A more correct comparison, which the United States did not make, would be if they compared the Russian economy with Japan or Germany.

Therefore, the attempt to abruptly break off cooperation with this country led to the restructuring of the entire world market.

Recall, as Topnews wrote, sanctions have turned into problems for Europe and the United States, where fuel prices have risen record high.

In Moscow, the economic measures introduced are called a previously unprecedented war.

According to Vladimir Putin, the goal of the West is to worsen the living conditions of millions of people.

The cat in the picture looks relaxed and calm.

Deputy Head of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev in his telegram channel published another post in which he touched on the topic of the next package of sanctions that the West is planning against Russia.

In the publication, he posted a funny photo of a cat lying relaxed on the carpet.

The picture is accompanied by the caption: “Waiting for the next package of sanctions ”.

In another publication, the politician explained that, in his opinion, the importance of Russia in the world economy is gradually beginning to reach Western countries.

According to him, they cannot survive without it, because their citizens simply will not be able to get food and fertilizers for its production, energy sources, what to make food, metals in order to produce cars and other mechanisms.

The last point he mentioned was fuel for nuclear power plants in Europe and the USA, which produce 20-40% of electricity to their citizens.

“We are looking forward to the next package of European sanctions and the great sanctions decisions of grandfather Joe”, –he declared.

Medvedev stressed that while the locomotive of the Western economy of services and digital currencies is flying into the wall at full steam.

“Smile, gentlemen, smile!”, – quoted the deputy head of the Security Council of the hero of the cult Soviet film.

According to Kommersant, the deputy head of the Security Council believes that the West’s attempts to destroy the Russian economy will not stop. One of the ways he called the exclusion of the Russian Federation from a number of organizations and the introduction of new sanctions measures.

He mentioned the decision of the Arctic Council to start work without Russia’s participation.

Recall that it includes Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, the USA and Russia. Earlier, the organization announced the termination of its work in connection with Russia’s military presence in Ukraine, and recently announced the continuation of its activities, but without Moscow.

“In the zeal to destroy the domestic economy , our enemies will go.until the end,” the politician commented on the situation.

Earlier, Topnews wrote that the political scientist explained the abrupt change in Medvedev’s behavior by the fact that the politician burned bridges in order to remain in the super elite of the country’s political elite.

The Kremlin announced that Putin will discuss at the SPIEF.

From tomorrow to Saturday, St. Petersburg will host the International Economic Forum (SPIEF), which will traditionally be attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with TASS that Putin’s speech this year is extremely important, as the Russian leader will talk about the impact of many Western sanctions against Russia on our economy, as well as the rest of the world. This includes rising energy prices, the global food crisis, and much more.

Moreover, to a greater extent, Putin’s speech, as Peskov stressed, will be directed to international investors.

Experts, in an interview with MK 8220, expressed their opinion on how and what exactly Putin will say.

Thus, financial analyst Mikhail Belyaev believes that in the first part of his speech, Putin will say that Russia continues to play an important role in the global economy, and therefore, problems of cooperation may eventually lead to the destruction of the entire structure of the world’s trade balance.

From this follows the second part, which Putin will link with the forum’s motto “The world is on the threshold of a new economic reality ”.

The expert explained that today, against the background of geopolitical conditions, new entrepreneurs occupy financial centers that have lost their positions. In other words, in the new Cold War, there is now a confrontation between the West and the East, and the first economic model has lost its relevance, since there has been an aggravation of social problems against the background of increased attention to technical aspects. Therefore, Russia will show openness to new economic partners.

But Nikita Maslennikov, a leading expert at the Center for Political Technologies, suggested that Putin’s speech would be limited to optimistic, aimed rather at stating the modern challenges that Russia has to face.

He explained that after successfully adapting to the new package of anti-Russian sanctions in the first months, Russia clearly demonstrates that the West failed to send our economy into prolonged trade isolation. Nevertheless, it has yet to go through the second stage of adaptation to the sanctions pressure.

The expert explained that the sanctions of the United States and the West have become a catalyst for Russia to reset the economic sector of the state, and now Putin must show the directions of future reforms, as well as choose profitable and competitive ones for foreign partners. This includes the oil sector, and the unbinding of the budget from focusing on quotes of foreign currencies, increasing the role of the ruble in commercial transactions.

Mark Goichman, chief analyst at TeleTrade, believes that Putin should convince the summit participants with his speech that Russia is capable of coping with modern economic shocks. For this, he will pay attention to inflation in the West caused by the “pumping” of the world economy with money from leading central banks to combat the pandemic, as well as the rupture of economic chains and anti-Russian sanctions.

At the same time, Putin will also propose concrete steps to solve this problem in the form of a kind of roadmap.

It became known who may be affected by the law on blocking money on accounts.

Recently, the State Duma adopted a law giving the President of the Russian Federation the right to establish measures to ensure the financial stability of the country.

Among other things, certain restrictions on currency turnover and transactions may be adopted, and on the 10th page of the bill it says that one of the measures may be the freezing (blocking) of funds and (or) other property.

As he writes E1.ru , the fifth article of the document contains regulations on the introduction of Federal Law measures to influence unfriendly actions of the United States and other countries.

According to lawyer Yulia Fedotova, what is listed in the document affects legal entities and citizens of the Russian Federation who enter into transactions with unfriendly countries or with persons located there.

Now the unfriendly countries there are the United States, Ukraine, the EU countries and 19 other states.

According to the expert, there are not many details in the document now, Presumably, they will be clarified later.

It is not known which transactions may lead to the blocking of accounts. The lawyer believes that even selling their crafts abroad or renting an apartment to a foreigner can become such.

“Based on the wording, any property can fall under “blocking”, – Yulia Fedotova said, noting that it is not yet known whether a court decision is necessary for blocking.

Now the law has to be approved by the Federation Council, and then it will go to the signature of the President and come into force after the official publication.

Fedotova recalled that earlier in Russia, assets of foreign legal entities and individuals had already been frozen. She notes that it is not about withdrawal.

At the same time, the freeze may end in defrosting, as it was, for example, during the default in 1998, when government bonds owned by foreigners were frozen, and then unfrozen and returned to their owners, although without interest.

As of today, it is not specified how the frozen money of the Russians will be received in the future.

Earlier, topNews wrote that the tax inspectorate began tracking money on the accounts of Russians.

The experts explained the mechanism of action of the tax authorities.

Customers are angry with the measures of the new owner of the credit institution – Vladimir Potanin.

In the official telegram channel of “Tinkoff Bank ” there was a message that the credit institution introduces a commission for servicing foreign currency accounts of Russians. The innovation will come into force on June 23.

Under the new conditions, the commission will be valid for accounts on cards in US currency, as well as deposits in euros, British pounds and Swiss francs. The price is – 1% monthly, if the balance exceeds 1,000 conventional units, the write-off is carried out daily.

The measure will also affect brokerage accounts, except for securities.

In “Tinkoff” explained that they took such a step because of “unreliability of foreign partners” who serve the currency in Russia. The bank also intends to reduce its foreign exchange positions.

The second innovation of the bank – from the same June 23, it stops opening savings accounts in foreign currency, leaving only the ruble format.

The currency already accumulated on open accounts will be transferred to customer accounts in the same currency that was accumulated.

Thirdly, starting from June 30, the commission for SWIFT transfers is canceled, and in early May, all transfers under this system were terminated by the bank due to high completion times and other difficulties due to sanctions.

As for the accounts, the rejection of the currency format is caused by the blocking of securities by foreign agents who serve them. At the same time, the bank indicated: they have few customers with deposits over 1,000 USD and they are all notified in advance of the commission.

They are also invited to transfer funds to other accounts, invest in stocks, gold, or change the currency, Interfax reports.

According to Medialeaks, the innovation led to the indignation of Tinkoff’s customers. People are outraged by the commission, accusing the new owner of the bank, Vladimir Potanin, of this. According to them, the debit account was replaced by a foreign currency loan at 12% per annum.

“”Congratulations to everyone who has more than 1000 USD in their account – you have just opened a loan in foreign currency!” – they write.

They reminded that earlier “Tinkoff” attracted clients’ currency for deposits of 8% for three months, and now it will take 12%. They also assess the prospects as bleak, pointing to the upcoming introduction by the bank of a commission for currency on brokerage accounts.

Earlier, Topnews wrote that the founder of the bank Tinkov apologized for offering to crown Russian President Vladimir Putin.
