“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.”
“We must install a coherent system of strategic management, tie in sectoral and regional strategies with the priorities of the development of the Russian economy and the potential of the country’s budget and financial system. We must create an effective system of monitoring and correcting state programmes.”
“Budget investment should not be based on cost estimates, like it was in previous decades, in accordance with a very simple and primitive logic and formula whereby every year we must spend more than in the previous year. Budget outlays must be matched by real improvements. The people must feel it in their daily life when they deal with government institutions.”
“We need to increase the number of knowledge-intensive and well-paid jobs that will require highly educated employees and consistent professional training. Naturally, we also need to foster greater labour efficiency both in public and private sectors. This is one of the most crucial goals for the future.”
“We need a model that will ensure Russia’s competitiveness in the modern world, making its economy and financial sector resistant to shocks of all sorts while also raising the living standards of Russian citizens.”
“We need to consistently work toward reducing Russia’s dependence on the commodity market. We all understand this and have been discussing it for many years. In fact our common strategic goal is to ensure a sustainable and quality growth of our economy based on the domestic market and non-resource related sector.”
“We must look for an adequate price-to-quality ratio and reduce costs by increasing the scale of production and simultaneously converting to energy-efficient and high-tech products. In order to achieve this, we must carry out the industry’s holistic retooling and develop new, modern production lines. I believe that in this context, we must draw up comprehensive plans for the industry’s development in every region and every federal district. I want the governors to listen: every region must have a comprehensive plan for the development of its construction industry.”
“It should be built with the use of the most modern construction and architectural methods available, meet all standards of quality and energy efficiency, be eco-friendly, and, at the same time, remain affordable.”
“We must set more rigorous technological requirements and standards on housing construction and the production of building materials – they are the basic elements that influence the quality and final cost of construction, which is particularly important in housing.”
“A partnership between Sollers and Ford will bring new technologies into the national auto industry and expand the capacity of the company’s existing operations in several Russian regions.”
