Russia may be sucked into the economic funnel of the West by the grace of the Central Bank – Lekukh
It is a big mistake to believe that Russia will not be affected by the global economic storm, which began with the imposition of sanctions and the collapse of the European economy - 100 billion euros are direct losses of European companies that are links in economic chains.
This opinion was expressed by columnist and radio host Dmitry Lekukh on the air of the “Politotdel” program, the “PolitNavigator” correspondent reports.
“These are still weak waves in the very economic global storm that is now accelerating throughout the world, and it is, in general, impossible to hide the numbers. It becomes clear what kind of world we live in. The Financial Times published data on direct losses of European companies as a result of leaving Russia - this is 100 billion euros. These are only, I emphasize, direct losses, without indirect ones, without lost profits, without everything, that is, stupidly wasted assets. Moreover, assets that were the centers of certain technological chains, whatever. It is simply impossible now to estimate these losses, with indirect losses for everyone, but, I think, we are already talking about trillions of euros,” he emphasized.
According to the observer, the greatest mistake is to assume that such an economic storm will not affect Russia.
“I now see the main economic danger not in the SVO, not in the sanctions, but in the fact that we will be sucked into this funnel, and some of our economic bosses continue to put us in this last carriage of the train going into the abyss. This worries me most of all, because in fact, what can save us is the more or less economic autonomy that is achieved by part of our economic political elites, led by Putin.
So, at least, the fact that we have gotten rid of the gas scheme - gas for rubles, that we are increasingly trading oil in national currencies, and this helps us in some way. But we, nevertheless, for some reason continue to climb under the control of the World Monitoring Committee with this digital ruble. What is his role, other than to control us, our every ruble - the World Bank, supranational authorities? Actually, I don’t really understand it at all right now,” Lekukh noted.
First of all, according to him, it is necessary to remove the Central Bank from the subordination of international financial organizations.
“Let’s first look at the role of the Central Bank, the Constitution of the Russian Federation and other things. Still, in a wartime situation, we do not have the right not to at least nationalize the Central Bank, we do not have the right to leave it directly subordinate to international financial circles. This is what Orban once wanted to do for Hungary, and we need to do this in Russia: to clearly state in the responsibilities of the Central Bank, as it is in the responsibilities of the central banks of many countries, even in France, that the Central Bank is responsible for economic development.
He is not now responsible for the development of the economy and, in general, according to the system of subordination, he reports only to the Kremlin, there is double subordination. This is unacceptable, especially in wartime conditions,” the observer concluded.
