MAIN POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC EVENTS OF JANUARY 2016

Sergey Zhavoronkov

Russian Economic Development, 2016, issue 2, 2-5

Abstract: Against the backdrop of dramatically fluctuating oil prices, the main news of January were the plans declared by the Russian government, in particular the budget expenditure cut by 10%, the possibility of privatization of certain big state-owned entities, and the renewal of external borrowing. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, in his speech at the Gaidar Forum, confi rmed the government course towards a ‘Western type economy’, which he estimated to be already in existence in Russia, and its refusal ‘to return to the past’.
