“unfortunately, this situation was once in our history during the Soviet period of time, I think, this situation has created a vaccine to all politicians, that never in my life no one will repeat this experience”, – said Gref on the word Makarov that some interpreted the words of the head of the accounts chamber Alexey Kudrin as a threat to the state to hold a new withdrawal of deposits.
Earlier in the social networks that spread the wrong interpretation of the words Kudrin that the state to combat the crisis can use the 30 trillion rubles on accounts and deposits of individuals. Kudrin said that some of these funds may be held by the government through borrowing in the domestic market, because banks have reduced ability to place the attracted funds into loans.
Later on Twitter he explained that he was referring to the common practice of banks to invest surplus funds, including deposits in government bonds. “Someone described it as the recommendation to withdraw depositors’ money – is absurd. Of course, speech does not go”, – he assured.
Gref recalled that even at current low oil prices means the national welfare Fund will be enough to cover the budget deficit for several more years, and the level of public debt Russia (15% of GDP) – one of the lowest in the world.
German Gref did not rule out a default on the public debt in Russia.
