the President’s July decree approved the national targets that are already up to 2030 will replace the national projects — those that thought until 2024. In July, the regime of special economic zones in Russia was 15 years old. It would seem that in apples and uncle in Kiev. In fact, however, the SEZ and the national goals related to their approximation are preferential.
Why the national objective has replaced the national projects, of course. The government has recognized that to implement the projects within the time prescribed in the same decree, from may 2018, impossible. Just to not admit, there nazzini, the essence of which is a new timeline. Why did you need new timing — is even clearer. Economic forces at the same time not enough. Why is not enough — it is clear: the same coronavirus.
let’s Leave aside the question, would be enough economic forces without coronavirus: in the subjunctive mood to leave unproductive. Much more productive to consider another question: what exactly is missing to accelerate the implementation of national projects, performancewise under Nazali? The answer is not difficult: money, or rather, investment. With this obvious statement next is to move with all the stops.
Stop first. Any large-scale challenges facing the economy, causing the growth of gosline at her. But this is not necessarily a direct increase of government investment. Financial capacity of the state is limited. From the point of view of implementation of large-scale Nacala in addition to public investment definitely will increase the pressure on the largest private companies from the state — so that they have increased their investment in these purposes.
Stop the second. Why private companies “brake” with an investment not only in projects with natalee, but in General? Money, of course, became less, but it’s not the whole answer. With investments it seams to coronavirus. The least significant brakes — weak legal protection of private property, lack of confidence in the independence and impartiality of the courts active intervention in the economy, power structures and overall Executive power. How to mitigate these limitations though can’t wait: investments, that is, need yesterday?
Stop the third. The answer was found long ago. It is the creation of special, focused on attracting investment regimes: tax, administrative, customs and so on. Their easements, they differ from national economic legislation. However, in 15 years, Russian SEZs with investment flourishing oases can not boast: in April 2020, the chamber, in principle, questioned the fact that “preferential policies” have a positive impact on the economy. But the government decided these regimes not to collapse, and to develop.
Stop quarterAya. What is the law on the protection and promotion of investment? The tool that the state will use to mobilize the investment of private companies, relying on a scattering of legalized preferential treatment, but not within geographically limited areas, as applicable to specific projects. Appear the project of the SEZ.
here is an example. If the volume of private investment from 250 million to 5 billion RUB. to investors who have signed the “agreement on the protection and promotion of investments”, ensures uniform profit tax, property, transport and land taxes, terms of payment and reimbursement of VAT, new taxes and fees — with the exception of state fees for a period of from 6 to 20 years; the immutability of the conditions of technical regulation, licensing, land use and development of territories of administrative procedures in construction for a period of up to 3 years.
Special modes, the distinctive feature of which — the preservation of conditions of economic activities for the long-term investment is very important there.
Stop fifth. The law on the protection and promotion of investment recognizes that the national economic regime for investment offers not enough. Accordingly, its investment performance will be a reflection of how it mutates national treatment. But in Economics, nothing is free.
If the law will result in movement of a considerable mass of private investment, on the one hand, this will bring a national goal. But, on the other hand, its implementation carries with it the risk of growth of corruption.
Although the benefits the law called for all participants in the new investment projects, their receipt still individually. To get into grace mode, depending on whether the individual signed the agreement, that is, to negotiate business with officials or not. And ways to facilitate the achievement of such arrangements are known.
Arrived. Among the national objectives, the growth of corruption does not appear, but it may accompany the movement to the targets. The government could not see the corruption risks of the new law. They directly pointed out Dmitry Kozak when he was in the rank of Deputy Prime Minister. But, most likely, the prevailing view was that the national projects, and now Natali more corruption risks. An alternative form of preferential regimes would be a direct “exemption” from private companies investment of resources, which originally offered Andrei Belousov, who became since then the first Deputy Prime Minister.
in Other words, the government had to choose between soft and hard mobilization. Selected soft. But it may harden.
