Laws for the welfare of the economy

Abstract

Financial and legal review of the Gaidar forum 2017 «Russia and the world: setting priorities», held on January 12-14, 2017 at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration. The views of Russian and foreign representatives of public authorities, NGOs, business and science, expressed within the individual expert and discussion panels are presented in the review. The Forum participants noted the importance of legal basis for functioning of the economy, creation of the legislative prerequisites for the development. At the same time real needs of economic entities, creation and expansion of new industries must be in focus of the legislative activities. Special attention was paid to the problems of small and medium-sized businesses; despite the constant attention paid to them, those problems still remain unsolved. In this context the issues of the credit policy were considered which, in the opinion of the majority of Forum speakers, need correcting.
