    Brief description:

    In this lecture we will focus on fiscal and monetary policy issues of Russian Government and the Central Bank of Russia in recent years, including the Anti-crisis plan of the Russian Government, re-consideration of budget spending, recapitalization of banks. We would also discuss the controversy of inflation targeting goals set by the Central Bank of Russia and the necessity to support the economy in crisis. The specific attention would be put on the budget subsidies aimed to lower the interest rates for home loans, car loans and loans for SME.
