The dynamics of the production in Russia from 2010 had a negative trend and diminished from 8,3 percent till -3,5 percent. The dynamics of GDP had a negative trend as well.
Such trends need the application of the anticrisis methods for the economy of Russia. According to the Forecast of socio – economic development of the Russian Federation for 2016 and the planning period of 2017 and 2018, the main priorities of the development of the economy of Russia are the following: increasing the investment attractiveness of the Russian Federation, improving the business climate and creating favorable business environment; balancing the federal budget; preservation of the tax conditions of stability and optimization of tariff regulation; improving the quality of life and investment in human capital; balanced regional development; improving the quality of the functioning of the state institutions authorities; development of the information technology and support of the high-tech sectors of the economy [2].
In the part of the increasing of the investment attractiveness of the Russian Federation, one of the main goals is the improvement of the business climate and creating the favorable business environment in 2016 – 2018. It is important to focus on the implementation of the new business community initiatives, enforcement practices and interaction with the business as a result of the implementation of the “road cards” [2].
The key areas of public health care policy in the period 2016-2018 are: ensuring the adoption of additional measures to improve health; the cost-effectiveness of the health system on the basis of scientific based analysis; development of a cost accounting methodology in health organizations for the medical assistance and payment the cost of the program on the base of the state guarantees for the free medical assistance to the citizens; introduction to the system of clinical guidelines (treatment protocols); acceptance of the “road map” of nuclear medicine centers and
Diagnostics [2].
In the implementation of fiscal policy, the focus will be placed on anti-crisis measures. Russian Government measures in the tax area are as follows: exemptions from corporate income tax for new productions; the increase in initial cost of depreciable property for tax purposes; measures to tax incentives for the development of small businesses through special tax regimes; the patent for the self-employed individuals who have not hired workers; increased revenue threshold for the purposes of payment of advanced payments of the corporate income tax; simplifying calculation and decision to deduct the VAT paid as part of advance payment [2].
For 2017 there are many positive forecasts. One of them is the forecast of the economis of Saxo Bank S. Yakobsen: “The sanctions are likely to be removed, not all of them, but at least part of them, already in 2017, that will have a positive impact on the economy. The lifting of sanctions will accelerate Russia’s GDP growth by 1 percentage point per year, which will allow him to go to zero”. In this he agrees with those same Kudrin [3].
