Priorities, strategies, ways of development

Abstract

This analytical review is devoted to the 9th Gaidar Forum, which was held at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration. The article observes the key issues discussed in various sections. During the forum, the main topics and major problems of modern socio-economic development were discussed (setting priorities in the sphere of economic policy, stimulating economic growth, efficient use of natural resources, fiscal and tax policy, human capital, digitalization and artificial intelligence, globalization issues, health, education, interagency cooperation, etc.). Major events were expert discussions on the Trianon Dialogue, as well as the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution. Modern global economic conditions, the design of a «new globalization» create great opportunities for the formation and development of new political, social, economic models. The rapid development of IT-technologies, digitalization and, at the same time, increased competition determine the nature of these changes. Along with new opportunities, new risks are also emerging, issues of economic growth and integration are being considered against the background of the challenges of the new information society. The journal ‘Public Administration' traditionally acts as one of the information partners of the Forum and covers in detail the discussions held on its platforms.
