(AGENPARL) – MOSCOW mar 20 giugno 2023
A joint meeting of the State Council commissions on Economy and Finance and on Energy was held as part
of the 26th St Petersburg International Economic Forum. The participants
discussed ways to create conditions for advanced growth of the Russian
economy.
The meeting was moderated by Deputy Secretary of the Civic Chamber Alexander Galushka, one of the authors of the book “Crystal of Growth. Towards the Russian Economic Miracle.” The main issues of discussion
were the theses in the book, related to applicability of experience of running
the national economy from 1929 to 1955, when Russia set a world record in economic
growth.
Even though at that time sanctions were tougher and there was no external funding, the national economy grew 14-fold, ranking first
in Europe and second in the world, with average annual growth rates at 13.8
percent, with the exception of the four war years. The average life span increased
by 26 years, and the population grew by 46 million people despite the Great Patriotic
War that was in the middle of this rapid growth period.
The meeting participants emphasized that today
Russia is in the epicentre of building a new world order. They agreed that an analysis of historical materials related to the period of the country’s
phenomenal economic growth in 1929–1955 could provide answers to some questions
that must be resolved to create a new model of economic growth.
The meeting was attended by Presidential Aide, State
Council Secretary Igor Levitin, Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Central Federal District Igor Shchegolev, Chelyabinsk Region Governor, Chair of the State Council Commission on Economy and Finance Alexei Teksler, Kemerovo Region – Kuzbass Governor, Chair of the State Council Commission on Energy Sergei Tsivilev, Head of the Federal Agency for Subsoil Use (Rosnedra) Yevgeny Petrov, VEB.RF Chief
