On February 13, 2025, a meeting of the Public Council under the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation was held, in which the rector of the State University of Management Vladimir Stroev took part.
The meeting summed up the results of 2024 and outlined priority tasks. In particular, it was noted that the economic growth rate for the past period was higher than the forecast: 4.1%. The result was achieved due to increased demand, flexibility of the labor market, increased productivity, and decreased unemployment. The growth driver was a number of manufacturing industries, as well as construction, trade, and IT.
Currently, the Russian Government is solving three main blocks of tasks: maintaining macro stability, reducing risks in individual industries, and ensuring growth of the economy’s potential. The main measures taken for this purpose consist of supporting investments, increasing them not only in volume but also in quality. One of the most important sources of growth of potential is the development of the labor market.
“The key factor is increasing labor productivity. We are currently scaling the new federal project to industries with low productivity: the agro-industrial complex, processing, construction, tourism, and the entire social sphere. Industry competence centers will join the work,” emphasized the head of the ministry, Maxim Reshetnikov.
The government will continue to lift infrastructure restrictions in transport, logistics, and energy – not only for investment projects and growing tourism within the country, but also to reorient exports and imports, and increase tourist flows with friendly countries. Decisions are being implemented to develop the platform and creative economy, and support small and medium businesses.
The President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation Sergey Katyrin formulated a number of specific proposals for joint work based on business appeals to the business association. They concerned the development of the procedure for assessing the regulatory impact, regulating legal relations in the sphere of labor migration, expanding the availability of mechanisms for increasing labor productivity, as well as issues of law enforcement in the implementation of control (supervisory) activities.
RSPP President Alexander Shokhin named measures to increase the flexibility of the labor market as one of the priority areas of work. According to him, it is important to “use all possible resources to expand the working time fund.”
