The main task of the tariff regulation is to create conditions for the development of its own production, including by limiting the import of finished products and export of raw materials if there is demand for it in the country. Foreign trade regulation (not only tariffs, but quotas, certification and other sanitary standards.) Should not be used to achieve tactical (short-term) goals. It should be a tool to guarantee the long-term stability of the external environment in the implementation of investments.

— Tax policy

As a result of the "reverse tax maneuver" the inflow of investments to 820 billion rubles, additional public consumption -. 100 billion effect on the budget -. Lost income in the amount of 1.1 trillion rubles, which can be offset by an increase in tax revenues in the long term 2-3. years.

— Monetary Policy

Bank of Russia work priority should be not in inflationable targeting, but in stimulating economic growth and development of production. In his speech, Konstantin Babkin offered to provide the real sector of available credit due to the gradual reduction of the key rate from the current 10% to 0% in 2021 g, to establish a judicial procedure for revocation of banking licenses, to focus on improving the quality of the bank, to ensure access of small and medium-sized banks to the system refinancing of the Bank of Russia and other forms of state support, and to refuse or reduce foreign exchange controls in the implementation of export enterprises.

— Agribusiness
