Crisis phenomena for RUSSIA are a thing of the past, now the country is in new realities, and it is from this position that development strategies should be approached. This opinion was expressed by VEB.RF Chairman Igor Shuvalov at the session "Business Contact with Vladimir Solovyov" at the SPIEF, RBC correspondent reports.

“I propose the following position: the crisis phenomena are behind us, we are in new realities. <...> We understand our development plans, we are confident in these plans, there are all prerequisites and opportunities for development, including the provision of capital, markets are open for us, and we have a great ambition to conquer new markets,” said He.

Shuvalov stressed that Russia is not going to "close" and expressed confidence in the return to cooperation with a number of European companies. He stated that sooner or later Russia will trade with Europe.

According to the head of VEB.RF, the past year has begun to change the model of interaction between business and government . “These are partnerships, the task of business is to create. [President of Russia] Vladimir Vladimirovich [Putin] talks about this all the time, entrepreneurs are creators, not crooks, this is the class that is ahead of all changes,” he said.

“Russians are very talented people, we adapt very quickly,” Shuvalov emphasized.

The head of VEB.RF called for building interaction between the government and business in such a way that the “technological sovereignty agenda” would not be replaced by a simple import supply, “so that we would not end up re-gluing “Made in Russia”, but in fact it does not have attitude to Russian content”.

“This is very delicate work . Business will correctly consider where it is more profitable, but we need to withstand this corridor when we still ensure technological sovereignty, ”he said.

Shuvalov also spoke about the sanctions imposed against Russia. “There is nothing good about sanctions. I have to tell you as a first-trained lawyer, this is illegal. This is an illegal measure of influence to force us against the line of our sovereign awareness. But if all this happened, you need to use them as a motive for transformation, ”he said.

The head of VEB.RF called for separating ordinary citizens of EU countries from politicians. “I am more than sure that the majority of citizens of the EU countries perceive [sanctions against Russia] as an outrage, legal lawlessness, they cannot internally accept everything that happens in relation to Russia, they are not allowed to say anything. I am sure that ordinary citizens of Russia and ordinary citizens of Europe are still one big family,” he said.
