Ulyukayev tells what Russia should do next
The Russian Minister of Economic Development Alexei Ulyukayev published an article titled 'What to do next? in the Vedomosti newspaper today. He outlined there his program of actions which would allow the Russian economy to grow every year by 7%, as it was in the early 2000s. The Minister bases his arguments on the premise that the world economy has changed dramatically and only those developing countries that are able to adapt to these changes will keep high growth rates. "In this situation, Russia's economic policy should be aimed at increasing the potential growth, which can be achieved through better use of labor resources, accumulation of capitals through the growth of investments and increasing productivity," Ulyukayev believes.
