“Support from Russian citizens has always helped us, and I’m confident that the government’s future line-up will rely on the people. We must never forget about the needs of ordinary people. We must always remember how government-level decisions influence the lives of all ordinary Russian citizens.”
"Unless we break into the market for goods and services with a high added value, Russia will see its role in the development of the world economy diminishing".
"I am convinced that Russia can and must become a major regional financial centre in the world. This is necessary if we are to expand the sources of finance for our private and public sectors".
"The easing of the tax burden will greatly stimulate the creation of a favourable business climate in the country. We expect business to reciprocate by moving out of the "shadow sector". And let me repeat that in general we need broader entrepreneurial freedom. In this connection the Government will initiate large-scale work to remove administrative barriers in the economy. We are talking about reducing the inspection powers of supervisory bodies, replacing permits with notification in the setting up and conduct of business. We should dramatically cut the number of activities subject to licensing as well goods and services that require mandatory certification".
"As I have said many times, a vital task is to significantly improve the effectiveness and stability of the national economy. As you know, we have big problems with labour productivity. We should develop through universal introduction of innovative technology. Through improved infrastructure, modernisation of the social sphere and the formation of the most favourable environment for business".
"In 2010 consolidated budget expenditure on education will reach almost 2 trillion roubles, and on public health, also 2 trillion roubles. That is several times more than only a few years ago. The spending on education will grow by four times and on healthcare by four and a half times compared with 2004".
