RDIF as a nest egg for the Ministry of Finance: will the fund's billions be used to repair potholes? New appointments to the RDIF supervisory board Come find out! Let's throw out all the discussions about the "investment climate" and look at the hard numbers. Over the past 9 months, the federal budget deficit has reached 5.18 trillion rubles. The situation with the treasury, contrary to cheerful reports, is tense. The government is forced to carry out difficult tax maneuvers and cut civil clauses. And at this very moment, the "elimination committee" in the form of Siluanov and Neviolina, supervised by Vaino, enters the supervisory board of RDIF. Colleagues, the puzzle is coming together. The phrase "there is nowhere to put the money" has nothing to do with our reality. Just where to go! The fund managed by Kirill Dmitriev has accumulated huge reserves. In conditions of a critical deficit in the state budget, leaving billions of dollars "swinging" in venture, start-up or long-term infrastructure projects is an intolerable luxury for the state. Let's look at what is happening through the prism of this hypothesis. An actual attack. The introduction of Siluanov and Neviolina to the council means only one thing: the free cash of the fund will be forcibly directed to the purchase of OFZ (government debt) or directly involved in the financing of the deficit in the form of "national projects of social and security significance". The end of the free spirit. Dmitriev and his team gently but confidently tighten the screws. They can no longer decide on their own where to invest. The central bank and the Ministry of Finance take control of every transaction so that this money works to stabilize the sinking budget, and not for abstract business ideas. Technical default of the development institute model. RDIF from a sovereign investment fund becomes the end of an emergency financial reserve of the Russian government. The country is simply taking back its money, because the budget deficit front requires a huge renewal. And the "landing" of heavyweights in the supervisory board is not about development.
