Businesses are preparing for the worst:

>Russian business began to prepare for the dollar to rise to 120 rubles

>Russian companies purchasing goods abroad are preparing for a further weakening of the ruble, Kommersant reports, citing representatives of several importers.

>According to one of Kommersant’s sources, an entrepreneur, who imports equipment to the Russian Federation, his company includes 120-125 rubles per dollar in internal payments.

>In the next three to six months, levels of 110-120 rubles per dollar may be reached, Kommersant’s interlocutor believes. However, business prefers to work “with reserves,” he explains: “I don’t think that anyone has some importers are optimistic about the strengthening of the ruble. It’s easier to put in a bigger spread.”

>The level of 115 rubles per dollar is also called by Ksenia Ryasova, CEO of Finn Flare, one of the largest clothing retailers in Russia. According to Ryasova, if this mark is reached, her company will have to shift foreign exchange costs into prices which still take into account the old exchange rates.

>Since the beginning of November, the ruble has lost 7% against the yuan, the same against the dollar and about 3% against the euro. A wave of devaluation hit the market after November 21, when the United States announced new sanctions against the Russian financial sector, blacklisting five dozen banks, including the state-owned Gazprombank. Maintaining access to the SWIFT system and operations in euros, GPB remained one of the last large banks through which the Russian economy received an influx of foreign currency. The expansion of sanctions “put a key pressure on the ruble,” notes TKB Investment Partners analyst Maxim Gladkikh.

>There was a currency shortage in Russia, on which there is an excess of rubles, since the budget traditionally increases expenses at the end of the year, notes Iskander Lutsko from the investment company Aigenis. He predicts the dollar will rise to 110 rubles in December.

>New sanctions will prevent the return of foreign currency export earnings to exporters, this may lead to a shortage of currency supply in the market, agrees Yegor Susin, Managing Director of GPB Private Banking. In the coming months, the market will lack approximately $2-4 billion in foreign exchange supply monthly, he estimates: “This could lead to an extremely unstable situation with liquidity in the domestic market, <…> excessive exchange rate movements, like in the summer-autumn of 2023.”

>The return of the ruble to the minimums of the currency panic of the first weeks of the war, when the dollar jumped to 120 rubles and higher, is only a matter of time, says leading Finam analyst Alexander Potavin. The prospects for the ruble are “not rosy” he believes: by the end of the year, the Ministry of Finance will significantly increase budget expenditures and there will be even more free rubles on the market, and the EU has begun work on the 15th package of sanctions against the Russian Federation - it may include restrictions against Russian LNG, the shadow fleet, as well as on the use of foreign technologies.

These guys are going to be invaded next btw:

>Kazakhstan decided to increase oil exports 13 times, bypassing Russia

>Kazakhstan set a goal last year to increase the share of foreign supplies carried out without Russian help. Now Energy Minister Almasadam Satkaliev said, that the volume of such exports should increase 13 times.

>As Satkaliev said in parliament, annual exports via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline could increase to 20 million tons from the current 1.5 million tons, Reuters reports. The country plans to increase production and is interested in gradually increasing the volume of supplies of Kazakh oil “both from our side and from our Azerbaijani partners,” the minister said.

>As a result of the implementation of such plans, the share of Russia, through which more than 80% of Kazakhstan’s oil exports now go, will noticeably decrease. This year, according to Satkaliev, 55.4 million tons will be pumped to Novorossiysk through the pipe of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), and another 8.6 million along the Atyrau-Samara route. And if Kazakhstan now sends tankers across the Caspian Sea to Baku 1/43 of the total volume of supplies via Russia, then, if the stated plans are implemented, this will be slightly less than 1/3 of the current year’s figure.

>True, Kazakhstan also intends to increase oil production, that is, exports will partially increase due to it. In 2026, it is planned to produce about 100 million tons versus 88.4 million this year, Satkaliev said. Starting next year, production will begin at a new part of the Tengiz field (the production expansion project has been implemented for almost 10 years). Chevron, which owns 50% of field operator Tengizchevroil, said it could produce about 260,000 barrels per day from the expanded portion from mid-2025.

bros I don't feel so good...

>The additional output may seem small, but it represents about a quarter of expected global oil demand growth, notes Bloomberg energy columnist Javier Blas. In total, Kazakhstan's production volume could reach a record level next year, exceeding 2 million barrels per day.

>True, Kazakhstan is part of OPEC+, being a cartel partner, andmust meet quotas. Back in June, OPEC+ prepared a plan to gradually increase quotas, and Kazakhstan hoped that its share of supplies would increase by 2025. However, there is a planned surplus of oil on the world market, and OPEC+ has postponed the increase until January. A further extension of restrictions will hit Kazakhstan’s plans hard and it may follow the path of the UAE and Iraq, which have violated quotas in recent years, writes Blas: the UAE was even able to achieve their increase, and Angola, which also demanded to be allowed to increase production, left the cartel.

>Satkaliev did not name specific deadlines for the implementation of plans to increase exports through Baku-Ceyhan. But back in August 2023, then-Minister of Energy Erlan Akkenzhenov said that Kazakhstan began to purchase tankers to transport oil across the Caspian and Black Seas in order to reduce dependence on the CPC. By that time, since the beginning of 2023, only 300,000 tons of oil had been delivered to Baku.

>The decision to reduce dependence on CPC was due, among other things, to the fact that in 2022 a court in Novorossiysk suspended its work allegedly due to environmental violations. The Kazakh authorities did not support the Russian invasion of Ukraine, refused to recognize the “DPR” and “LPR” and began a public discussion on the implementation of Western sanctions prohibiting the supply of certain goods to Russia.

Moscow is dying:

>Shopping streets in the center of Moscow have lost almost 40% of foreign tenants

>The share of international brands among tenants of space on the 12 main shopping streets of Moscow - Tverskaya, Kuznetsky Most, Novy Arbat, Maroseyka, Pokrovka, Petrovka, Pyatnitskaya, Myasnitskaya, Nikolskaya, in Stoleshnikov, Kamergersky and Klimentovsky lanes - from 2012 to 2024 decreased from 17% to 9%, the consulting company IBC Real Estate calculated. The number of premises they rent decreased by 37%, from 131 retail units to 82.

>The most noticeable exodus of foreign brands was when in their most popular place - Stoleshnikov Lane. Here, only 14 out of 26 retail premises remain behind them, on Nikolskaya - 6 out of 12, and on Petrovka - 17 out of 24.

>At the same time, 17% of the 82 stores remaining leased from international brands are not operating - their tenants simply retained the premises, IBC Realty notes. They mainly include companies from the luxury segment, for example Chanel, Gucci, Van Cleef & Aries, Tiffanny & Co., BVLGARI, Prada, Dior, HERMES, Louis Vuitton.

>Luxury brands such as Vacheron Constantin, Panerai, Roger Dubuis, and others have permanently closed stores in the center of the Russian capital. Cartier and the largest international brands in the sports and fashion clothing segment - Adidas, New Balance, Nike, H&M and Zara, company experts list. True, part of Zara's space was transferred to another foreign tenant, a company with Arab roots MAAG, founded by Zara's Middle Eastern partner. And the former H&M flagship store on Tverskaya went to the Russian company Gloria Jeans.

>There are other examples of “import substitution.” In the place of the American donut chain Krispy Kreme, which left Russia, there are Krunchy Dream cafes with a similar assortment of its former franchisee, restaurateur Arkady Novikov, and in the place of Starbucks, the establishment of the Russian assets of Stars Coffee that bought it. It was created by the structures of restaurateur Anton Pinsky, performer Timati and senator from Kabardino-Balkaria Arsen Kanokov.

>Russian players occupied 72% of the space vacated by foreign tenants. Due to such replacements and the general revival of the economy, there are even fewer vacant premises on the main shopping streets than in 2019 - then there were 9%, and now 8% of those offered for rent, IBC monitoring showed. Over the past year, the former Adidas space on Kuznetsky Most has been occupied by Lamoda Sport, and the luxury watch brand TAGHeuer has been occupied by the Sunlight jewelry chain. This summer, the share of vacant space also fell to a record level in Moscow shopping centers: instead of the pre-crisis figure of 7–9%, only 6% of the space was vacant - and this is taking into account the premises in centers preparing to open, as calculated by NF Group. According to her data, by summer in almost all areas, those vacated in the capital's shopping centers after the mass departure of foreign retailers were busy. If in 2022, at most, 12% of the space vacated by them was empty, then in the summer it was only 0.2%. A study by Nikollers showed that in key shopping centers in Moscow, the share of foreign brands by volume of occupied space decreased from 44.2% at the end of 2021 up to 28% at the beginning of 2024. Within two years, they were filled with new tenants.

What you have all been waiting for:

>The Russian Finance Minister proposed using the power of thought to stop the increase in the Central Bank's key rate

>Russians should not think about increasing the key rate of the Central Bank, which is at the level of 21% per annum, since otherwise the regulator will raise it even higher, said Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov.

>“Why is everyone waiting for a rate increase? There is no need to create any additional expectations like this. You know, when you think about it a lot, it comes true. Therefore, we need to think about the opposite,” Siluanov said at the plenary session of the IX International Forum of the Financial University (quoted by TASS).

>He also added that a high key rate is better than a high rate of price growth in the economy, since the latter “hits companies whose current expenses are also tied to inflation - these are wages, raw materials, supplies.”

>At the same time, Siluanov ruled out that due to the high key rate there would be a fall in Russian exports. “The [currency] exchange rate is more important for exports than the [key] rate. I'm not saying he's good or bad. I’m just saying that today [the rate] for exporters is very, very conducive to exports,” noted the head of the Ministry of Finance against the backdrop of a rise in the dollar’s price to 105 rubles.

>>489840022

>At a meeting on October 25, the Central Bank raised the key rate by 200 bp. - from 19 to 21%. Thus, the rate was at a record level since the beginning of the war (in February 2022, the Central Bank raised it to 20%). The head of the Bank of Russia, Elvira Nabiullina, said that “many countries went through this before achieving sustainable low inflation and the benefits that low inflation provides, including affordable market mortgages, affordable loans for business."

>Later, Nabiullina noted that the Central Bank is at a “turning point” in the fight against inflation, and already next year, if there are no shocks, the regulator may begin to reduce the key rate. In the Central Bank’s base scenario for 2025, its average value is at the level of 17–20%. Earlier, the head of the Rostec state corporation, Sergei Chemezov, warned that due to the high key rate, Russian industry was under the threat of mass bankruptcies. A similar forecast was made by the Center for Macroeconomic Analysis and Short-Term Forecasting, which is close to the Kremlin. According to experts, keeping the rate at 21% or higher for a long time could lead to a decline in production, corporate bankruptcies and an increase in non-payments in the economy.

You know about the infrastructure services with the new slashed budget? Yeah, lets just let people die lmao:

>The head of Rosvodokanal proposed disconnecting Russians from water supply for debts on housing and communal services

>The government needs to provide companies operating in the housing and communal services sector with more opportunities to cut off water supplies to debtors,said Chairman of the Board of Directors of Rosvodokanal Maxim Shirokov.

>“Any non-payment, especially in the tariff business, instantly clips our wings. The question is how to work with this? There is an extreme measure - limiting the resource, but we practically do not use it,” Shirokov said in an interview with RBC.

>According to him, the company encourages consumers to repay debts pre-trial and, in general, the collection rate of Rosvodokanal in previous years was at the level of 98%. However, “the collection process becomes more complicated and becomes more expensive for the company,” Shirokov noted. “Since March 2023, access to personal data in Rosreestr has been closed (the service has limited the provision of information from the Unified State Register of Real Estate; this data can only be obtained with the consent of the owner. - TMT). Since September of this year, there have been a number of changes in the current legislation, which influenced the increase in the cost of the debt collection procedure through the court. The fees when going to court were increased almost multiple times. Previously, the duty was from 200 rubles, now it is from 2 thousand rubles and higher,” explained the head of Rosvodokanal.

>>489840202

>In connection with this, according to him, the company submitted a number of measures for consideration by the government, the State Duma and the Ministry of Construction, which will improve debt collection in the housing and communal services sector. In particular, Rosvodokanal proposes to oblige citizens to provide the necessary personal data to the resource supplying organization when concluding an agreement, to develop the institution of a notary’s writ of execution when collecting debts for housing and communal services, change the calculation of penalties and tie it to the key rate of the Central Bank, as well as expand the possibilities for disconnecting debtors.

>All initiatives proposed by Rosvodokanal “are aimed at additional protection of conscientious payers,” Shirokov noted.

>At the moment, according to the federal law “On water supply and sanitation”, The supplier may limit water supply if the subscriber has arrears in payment for two billing periods established by the contract.

>According to the Ministry of Construction, the size of the total debt of Russians to pay for utility services has decreased over the last two years and as of October 2024 amounted to 833 billion rubles. “The collection rate [of payments for housing and communal services] increased to 101% [year-on-year] on the national average,” said the head of the Ministry of Construction, Irek Fayzullin.

>Rosvodokanal is the largest private water supply operator in Russia and provides water to 7.2 million residents in Arkhangelsk, Barnaul, Voronezh, Krasnodar, Lipetsk, Omsk, Orenburg, Orsk, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Tikhoretsk, Tomsk, Tyumen and Tyumen region.

This one is even worse than with Rosvodokanal:

>Transneft threatened to stop construction and repair of pipelines due to tax increases

>The press service of Transneft stated that an increase in the profit tax to 40% could significantly affect the implementation of the company's investment programs. After paying dividends in the amount of half of the remaining profit, the company will only have a quarter of its income at its disposal, which, according to Transneft, will lead to a shortage of funds by 2026.

>In such conditions, the company will be forced to suspend major investment projects, including capital repair and reconstruction programs, the company noted: “Of course, this will have a negative impact on a whole range of related production industries, primarily the fuel and energy complex.”

>The decrease in the company’s income is affected not only by an increase in the tax burden, but also by external factors: sanctions pressure, a decrease in oil transportation volumes and market fluctuations. The company emphasized that even a publication in the media about a possible tax increase led to a significant drop in shares and infringement of the interests of minority shareholders.

>Despite the difficult situation, Transneft continues to implement the investment program for the development of the pipeline system. Until 2029, it is planned to allocate about 2.2 trillion rubles for these purposes. In addition to infrastructure development, the company spends significantly on wages for more than 120 thousand employees, as well as on the electricity needed to pump oil and petroleum products.

>>
>>489840371

>In addition, Transneft has obligations to repay loans taken for the implementation of previous projects. From 2025 to 2029, the company must pay 306.3 billion rubles.

>At the end of 2023, the Transneft group recorded a record net profit of 306.6 billion rubles according to IFRS, of which 128.5 billion rubles were used to pay dividends. However, in 2024, the situation changed: over nine months, the company’s net profit decreased by 49.1%, amounting to 97 billion rubles. The main reason for the decrease was the revaluation of assets in the amount of 133.2 billion rubles and an increase in the tax burden.

>To mitigate the consequences of rising taxes, Transneft proposed revising the indexation of tariffs for its services. The company noted that from 2020 to 2024, the rate of tariff growth significantly lagged behind inflation - by 46.7%. This has already led to significant losses in revenue. In this regard, Transneft considers it fair to establish indexation of tariffs until 2030, taking into account “the proposals of the Ministry of Finance to increase the tax on PJSC Transneft and the current geopolitical and economic situation.” Currently, tariffs for the company’s services are set by the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) based on the projected inflation rate.

>According to amendments to the Tax Code, in the period from 2025 to 2030, the profit tax rate for Transneft will be increased to 40%. The State Duma adopted this decision on November 26, 2024 in the second and third readings. For comparison, previously the profit tax rate was 20%, and from 2025 it should rise to 25% for all Russian companies.

Central Bank is going 25%:

>Banks are preparing to increase the Central Bank rate to 25%

>Russian banks are preparing for a further tightening of the Central Bank's monetary policy due to a surge in inflation that is hitting the economy against the backdrop of trillions of dollars in military spending and the devaluation of the ruble.

>At its meeting in December, the Central Bank may raise the key rate to 23%, and in February take another step up - up to 25%. Interbank market participants include this rate level in interest rate swap quotes, Alfa Bank analysts write in their review.

>The mood of banks has changed noticeably in the last month: at the end of October, money market quotes included the current rate level - 21% - as the maximum, which will be followed by its decrease. Now, according to quotes, banks are expecting two more increases and a rate of 23% at the end of 2025.

>The market was “surprised” by the latest statistics from Rosstat, Alfa Bank points out. The weekly price increase for November 12–18 accelerated to 0.37% and entered the top 3 over the last two years. In less than three weeks of November, inflation reached 0.79% and exceeded the figure for the entire October (0.75%), as well as for August and September combined (0.2% and 0.48%, respectively). If we recalculate the current rate of price growth on an annual basis, this gives inflation at 12–13%, notes Alfa Bank.

>In addition, business inflation expectations have risen to a record level: according to a Central Bank survey, Almost half of retailers and every third manufacturing enterprise plan to increase prices in the next three months.

>Since the summer of 2023, the Central Bank has already raised the key rate eight times and brought it to the highest level since 2003. A possible increase to 25% will return the Central Bank rate to 2000 levels, when Vladimir Putin began his first presidential term.

>Already at the October meeting of the Central Bank, among other options, they discussed raising the rate to 22%, the regulator itself reported in the summary of the meeting of the board of directors. Inflation may be accelerated by problems with the harvest, the weakening of the ruble, as well as injections from the budget: the expansion of its deficit may require an additional tightening of monetary policy, the Central Bank warned.

Ruble is rubble:

>The ruble went into a tailspin: the dollar, euro and yuan rewrote records for the fourth day in a row from the first month of the war

>The Russian currency market continues to nosedive, renewing its lows for the fourth day in a row since the first weeks of the invasion of Ukraine.

>On Wednesday, November 27th, the dollar exchange rate on Forex jumped by almost 5% and for the first time since March 2022 exceeded 110 rubles. The euro added 4.4% during the day and reached 115.66 rubles, also a record for the last year and a half.

>The yuan on the Moscow Exchange jumped by 1.8% and came close to the level of 15 rubles: at 14:39 Moscow time, transactions with settlement “tomorrow” are concluded at 14,93 rubles per yuan.

>“The ruble is weakening as demand for currency continues, and supply remains weak due to sanctions against the Russian banking sector,” BCS analysts state. Since November 21, 50 Russian banks have been included in the blacklists of the US Treasury, including Gazprombank, the last of the large “state-owned” banks retained access to operations with euros and the SWIFT system.

>“The new restrictions have further narrowed the possibilities for cross-border circulation of currency,” notes BCS. In four days after the introduction of sanctions, the yuan jumped by 7%, the dollar by 9.4%, and the euro by 8.4%. Since the beginning of August, the exchange rate of the American currency has risen by 25 rubles, or 29%, and European - by 24 rubles, or 26%.

>Without intervention from the Central Bank, the ruble will continue to weaken, according to BCS. But the authorities do not need a strong ruble - on the contrary, devaluation is “desired” for the government, which needs to fill the budget, notes Finam analyst Nikolai Dudchenko: because of this, exporters have reduced the standards for selling currency on the exchange.

>The treasury deficit this year will amount to 3.3 trillion rubles and will exceed the original plan of the Ministry of Finance, recalls Dudchenko.

>The fall of the ruble may continue in 2025: the yuan may reach 15.2 rubles, the dollar may exceed 112 rubles, and the euro may reach almost 120 rubles, Rosbank analysts write. In addition to difficulties with foreign exchange payments, the Russian currency is being pressured by a “new round of geopolitical tension,” they point out.

>Real currency exchange rates in “friendly” banks are even higher than on the stock exchange: the dollar is sold at almost 116 rubles, and the euro at 121 rubles, notes investment banker Evgeniy Kogan: “The sanctions on Gazprombank turned out to be stronger, than the cumulative restrictions over the last few years.”

>The collapse of the ruble promises the economy a new wave of inflation: importers will include in their calculations rates of 120 rubles per dollar, notes Yegor Susin, managing director of GPB Private Banking: this will result in an increase in prices for goods imported from abroad. The Central Bank, in response, will continue to raise the key rate - up to 23% in December and possibly 25% in February - such levels are included in banks' quotes on the interbank market. However, this is unlikely to help the ruble, BCS believes: “This measure was effective during the period of free movement of capital. There is currently no capital movement and raising the rate will not help stabilize the exchange rate, but will rather create additional problems.”

Consumer lending goes negative:

>Consumer lending went into negative territory for the first time since spring 2022

>High rates and direct restrictions stopped the growth of consumer lending. In October, the consumer loan portfolio decreased by 46 billion rubles, or 0.3%, according to Central Bank data. This is the first decrease in the portfolio since December 2023, and without taking it into account - since the spring of 2022 (in the last month of the year, salaries and pensions are paid ahead of schedule before the long January holidays, and people are actively paying off loans).

>The main reasons were the increase in rates following the key one and tightening of regulation, the Central Bank lists. In the fourth quarter, the share of loans which banks can issue to over-leveraged borrowers has decreased again. People with a debt burden ratio (PDI, the ratio of loan payments to income) above 80% can now account for no more than 3% of loans (from 5%), and from 50-80% to a maximum of 15% (from 20%). This was also noted by Sberbank, whose consumer loan portfolio decreased by 1.5% in October. In a month, he issued them for 131 billion rubles. – by 50 billion rubles. less than in September.

>>489840928

>With current rates, those who can try to do without loans. The overall retail portfolio continues to grow, but this is a consequence of sharply reduced prepayments (high rates make this meaningless) and stable mortgage lending. In October, banks issued mortgages worth RUB 367 billion. – approximately the same as in July-September, after the cancellation and reformatting of preferential programs. Preferential mortgages accounted for about 70% of issuances, but lending on market terms also increased – from 103 to 117 billion rubles. (by 14%). According to the Central Bank, in conditions of high rates, this may indicate the use of different schemes, which the regulator promises to fight - then issues may also be reduced.

>The sharp slowdown in consumer lending makes the deterioration in portfolio quality noticeable. Against the background of large issuances, the growth of overdue loans does not lead to an increase in their share, but when issuances decrease, it begins to grow. The Central Bank does not yet have data for October, but in September, when the portfolio was still growing, but slower than before, the share of problem consumer loans increased by 0.2 percentage points (pp) – to 7.9%. This led to an increase in the share of problem debts in the total retail portfolio (by 0.1 percentage points to 4.3%).

>>489840965

>The demand for restructuring has also increased, the Central Bank states. From January to September, banks received 2.8 million applications from individuals, of which 1.1 million in the third quarter. He noted a vulnerable category of citizens, whose incomes are growing slower than inflation and which are already heavily indebted.

>The increase in problems with debt servicing, according to the Central Bank, is due to the gradual ripening of loans issued at high rates, as well as an increase in overdue payments on cash loans issued, including in the first half of the year, when banks actively lent to new borrowers without a credit history.

>Preliminary data in November indicate an acceleration in the contraction of the consumer loan portfolio - the decline is accelerating, and in all directions, notes economist Yegor Susin: “Consumer loans are going into sharp contraction mode.” Consumer credit is steadily slowing down, Economist Dmitry Polevoy agrees, but this is not yet visible in corporate lending. It grew even more in October than in September - the portfolio added 1.9 trillion rubles, or 2.3%, with loans taken by companies from different industries, the Central Bank notes. And taking into account corporate bonds, the growth is even stronger: 2.2 trillion rubles, or 2.5% after 1.5 trillion rubles. (1,7% in September).

>Therefore, economists have little doubt about a further increase in the key rate in December and do not rule out its increase next year. This, coupled with continued tightening of regulation, is likely to further dampen consumer lending.

Russians are fucking old:

>The share of Russians over 55 years of age has reached a maximum in the modern history of Russia

>The aging of the population continues in Russia: 30% of citizens have already passed the 55-year mark. This is a record for the entire modern history of the country, the Ministry of Labor reported. In connection with this, the department has developed an action strategy in the interests of older citizens until 2030.

>According to the document, as of January 1, 2024, there were 34.6 million citizens over working age living in Russia (from 55 years old for women and from 60 years old for men), which is equal to 23.7% of the country’s population.According to Rosstat's forecast, taking into account the continuing increase in the retirement age, by 2030 the number of such citizens will be reduced to 32.9 million people. At the same time, a gender disproportion remains among the elderly: currently, for every 1,000 men over 65 years of age, there are 1,869 of the same women.

>Population aging increases the demographic burden on working-age people, it is emphasized in the strategy: if in 2016 there were 413 elderly people per 1000 such citizens, then by the beginning of 2024 there will be already 471.

>>489841133

>At the same time, the average age of a worker is also growing: it is now 42 years old, reported the Financial University under the Russian Government. There they warned that given these circumstances, employers will have to actively attract older employees. “We still see the consequences of the aging workforce: a large number of people of retirement age work in trade, services, and production,” noted university professor Alexander Safonov.

>Commenting on the strategy of the Ministry of Labor, Nikita Chaplin, a member of the State Duma Committee on Budget and Taxes, told Rossiyskaya Gazeta that the main task of the authorities is to transform the process of population aging from a demographic problem into a resource for society and the economy. He pointed out the need to adapt social policy to the rapid increase in the number of older citizens and develop systemic support measures for them. According to the deputy, the implementation of the strategy will bring stable development to Russia in the context of demographic changes. At the same time, he emphasized that in this matter one cannot act “from offices” - “a lot of personal work with people is needed.”

>Lawyer Ilya Rusyaev noted that the current ratio of working-age citizens to the elderly “creates serious challenges for the social and economic systems, including the provision of pensions, medical care and social services.” According to him, involving older people in theeconomy is becoming a key policy focus.

>>489841162

>Work to increase the employment of such citizens is already underway: in 2023, more than 69 thousand Russians over 50 years old received vocational training, of whom 58.5 thousand were employed. However, taking into account the needs of the country and the total number of elderly people, this is not enough. Rusyaev emphasized. According to him, flexible employment conditions are necessary to increase the economic activity of older citizens. For example, this could be remote or home work. Educational programs aimed at mastering new professions and increasing digital literacy also play an important role. The head of the operational headquarters of the independent trade union “New Labor” Alexey Nezhivoy agreed with the last point. He called for the development of a program to improve IT literacy among people of silver age. “Taking into account the specifics of the cognitive functions of the older generation, this is a very serious task, which needs to be addressed now at the state level,” he emphasized.

>Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said that about 60% of pensioners are returning to the labor market. “But to more effectively use the potential of this group, it is important for us to have a system of training throughout the working life of older people,”- she emphasized.

>On Wednesday, the head of the Ministry of Labor Anton Kotyakov estimated the current personnel shortage at 2.4 million people. Heconfirmed that the situation is complicated by long-term demographic trends. According to Kotyakov’s forecast, by 2030 the number of Russians aged 30-39 years will decrease by 8 million people, and population growth between the ages of 15 and 24 will be only 3 million people.

Yuan spending is through the roof:

>The Central Bank decided to double sales of yuan from reserves to keep the ruble from collapsing

>The collapse of the ruble, whose exchange rate dropped below 15 rubles per yuan and 110 per dollar, forced the authorities to take emergency measures. The Central Bank announced the suspension of part of its operations on the foreign exchange market, as a result, the size of its interventions will increase markedly.

>Currently, the Central Bank is selling currencies worth RUB 4.2 billion. per day. This amount is made up of several components. Firstly, the Central Bank sells currency to compensate for the impact of the Ministry of Finance's expenditures from the National Welfare Fund (NWF) - this is 376 billion rubles. investments (sales during the second half of the year) and 2,9 trillion expenses outside the budget rule (sales during the year).

>But the Central Bank not only sells currency for the Ministry of Finance, but also buys it. When the dollar exchange rate reached 100 rubles in August last year, the Central Bank suspended operations under the budget rule until the end of 2023 - the purchase of foreign currency for the amount of oil and gas revenues above the base level. Such deferred transactions totaled 1.53 trillion rubles, which will be converted evenly throughout this year. All together, this implied foreign currency sales of RUB 8.4 billion. per day. In addition, the Central Bank continued its current purchases of foreign currency within the framework of the budget rule - in November this amounted to 4.2 billion rubles. per day. The result of these operations was daily sales of yuan by 4,2 billion

>>
>>489841292

>Now the Central Bank, as in August 2023, has suspended purchases, leaving only sales. This will exactly double its interventions to 8.4 billion rubles. per day: giving up current purchases will add 4.2 billion.

>The exchange rate has significantly deviated from fundamentally justified values, and the inflationary costs of a strong fall are large (consumer imports, directly sensitive to the exchange rate, are about a quarter of household consumption), so foreign exchange interventions are well justified, according to Hard Figures analysts.

>They will help the ruble, but the effect will be limited, says investment banker Evgeny Kogan. If the ruble's weakening is caused by problems in export payments, this measure will not be enough to return the ruble to last week's levels.

>The Central Bank's announcement to stop foreign currency purchases led to the strengthening of the ruble. RMB exchange rate from 15.1 rubles. fell to 14.4 rubles, but then recovered to 14.55 rubles.

This is just hilarious at this point:

>“Friendly” countries began to cancel supplies of vegetables and fruits to Russia due to the collapse of the ruble

>Suppliers of vegetables and fruits from countries that the Kremlin calls “friendly” have canceled a number of contracts for export to Russia due to the collapse of the ruble. The specialized publication EastFruit reports this with a link to sources on the market.

>According to him, the cancellation of agreed supplies affected exports from Turkey, Egypt and Iran. Companies fromthese countries are demanding price revisions to reflect increased currency risks. Since the beginning of November, the ruble has lost more than 10% against the dollar and the euro amid tightening American financial sanctions, which hit 50 Russian banks, including the key Gazprombank.

>On Wednesday, November 27, the rate of the American currency on Forex rose above 114 rubles, and the European currency exceeded 120 rubles for the first time since March 2022. On the Moscow Exchange, where trading in the dollar and euro was stopped due to sanctions, the yuan rose sharply in price: its rate reached 15.2 rubles, also a record for a year and a half. Since the beginning of August, the ruble has depreciated by 25%, accelerating inflation in imported goods. Sellers of vegetables and fruits, which in winter are mainly imported from abroad, have already begun to hold back the goods, expecting prices to rise, writes EastFruit.

>According to Rosstat, as of November 25, food inflation in Russia reached 10.2%, and prices for basic fruits and vegetables jumped by tens of percent. Thus, since the beginning of the year, potatoes have risen in price by 78.4%, cabbage by 30.7%, and beets by 27%. In annual terms, tomatoes became more expensive by 22.5%, cucumbers by 40.8%, and onions by 17%.

>To slow down the inflationary surge, the government is considering the possibility of eliminating duties on the import of vegetables and fruits. In particular, benefits may affect the supply of potatoes, onions, carrots, cabbage and apples, the Ministry of Economic Development reported in November. Problems with vegetables arose due to May frosts, which were followed by drought and heat in the Rostov, Astrakhan, Volgograd regions, as well as in the Krasnodar Territory and other regions. According to estimates from the Higher School of Economics, they could have lost from 10% to 25% of the vegetable harvest.

About the incoming bankrupcies:

>Profits of Russian companies fell to their lowest level in two years

>Salaries are rising, but profits are falling

>High rates and rising costs led to the fact that the financial results of Russian companies (profits minus losses) in September were the worst in two years. Over nine months, it amounted to 21.37 trillion rubles, Rosstat reported, this is 1.34 trillion rubles. more than in January–August. The last time companies earned less was two years earlier—just under a trillion in September 2022. Until September, company profits were slightly behind last year's record (5.8% in January-August), but the result for nine months is 19.1% worse than a year earlier.

>The Ministry of Finance is already sounding the alarm: it is noting a reduction in income tax revenues. “As of November 20, income tax revenues decreased [compared to the same period last year] by 7%, by 357 billion rubles, to be precise,” said Minister Anton Siluanov, admitting that this came as a surprise to the government.

>The worst situation, according to him, is in the coal regions: “If you look at the subjects that have the most difficult situation with profit tax, these are the Kemerovo region - minus 59%, Novgorod, Murmansk, Buryatia, Evreyskaya, Vologda and so on. The situation is clear. These are either raw coal industries, or those regions where there are export-oriented enterprises, for which exports, for one reason or another, have decreased.” Coal enterprises are experiencing losses, as follows from Rosstat data: 91.3 billion rubles. for nine months, and in general in mining, profits remain at last year’s level.

>Russian business is suffering from rising costs and high rates with which the Central Bank is trying to curb inflation. In surveys by the Central Bank and S&P Global, enterprises cite rapid rising costs as one of their main problems. The most acute personnel crisis (unemployment again set a record in October - 2.3%) is forcing wages to increase. In September they were 17.8% higher than in September 2023, and in real terms the increase was 8.4%.

>High rates have led to the fact that by the end of the year, approximately 20% of industrial enterprises will face problems servicing their debt, the TsMAKP analytical center, which is close to the authorities, estimated. Its experts noted that in many industries profitability has equaled or fallen below the OFZ yield, and this makes investment meaningless.

>The Central Bank responded that the main source of investment in Russia is companies’ own funds and close to record profits allow them to maintain investment activity. If the sharp slowdown in profits in September is not an episode, but a trend, then economic growth will slow down more than in the forecasts of the government (2.6% in 2025) and the Central Bank (0.5-1.5%). The Central Bank promises the Russian economy a “soft landing” - a slowdown without a recession, but experts doubt that a return of inflation to its target in early 2026 is possible without a recession. “The risk of recession next year is high, difficult times are coming for business,” noted investment banker Evgeny Kogan. “Not all companies will be able to survive next year.”

Inflation news:

>Inflation in Russia has set a record since April 2022

>Inflation in Russia continues to accelerate, despite the authorities’ attempts to limit prices by directive and the increase in the rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation to the level of the early 2000s.

>As Rosstat reported on Wednesday, for the week from November 19 to November 25, the consumer price index added 0.36%, from the beginning of the month it increased by 1.15%, and from the beginning of the year by 7.8%.

>Monthly inflation in November hit a record high since April 2022 (then prices rose by 1.56%). In less than four weeks of the month, it was 1.5 times higher than the figure for the entire October (0.75%), and also doubled for August and September combined (0.2% and 0.48%).

>The figures published by Rosstat are a “real disaster,” MMI analysts are pessimistic. Of the hundreds of goods in Rosstat’s consumer basket, 74 are becoming more expensive, and if the current rate of price growth continues throughout the year, then annual inflation, according to MII estimates, will reach 16%, the level of the beginning of 2000x years.

>The food departments of supermarkets remain an inflationary disaster zone, where prices have soared by tens of percent and continue to rise. According to Rosstat, potatoes have risen in price by 78.4% since the beginning of the year, cabbage by 30.7%, and beets by 27%.The rise in prices for butter accelerated to 31.6%, despite the government's attempts to organize imports from Turkey and Iran. Since the beginning of the year, lamb has become more expensive by 21.9%, sour cream by 16.4%, and milk by 15.7%. The price of apples increased by more than 15%, and bread by more than 13%. Tomatoes, according to Rosstat, cost 22.5% more than a year ago; cucumbers - by 40.8%; onions - by 17%.

>Overall food inflation exceeded 10% for the first time since January 2023. And this is partly the result of problems among farmers: due to frost and then drought, the harvest was lower than last year, notes Alexander Isakov, Russia economist at Bloomberg Economics. In addition, sanctions are having an impact, for which it is more difficult and expensive for farmers to purchase equipment and seeds.

>The new “inflation shock,” Suvorov notes, will bring a collapse of the ruble to the economy: since the beginning of August, the dollar and the euro have risen in price by 25%, and on Wednesday they set records since March 2022—114 and 120 rubles, respectively.

>The Central Bank will put out the inflationary fire by further increasing the key rate and, according to Isakov’s forecast, it will probably increase it to 25%, the level with which Vladimir Putin began his first presidential term in 2000. And although the Central Bank promises to calm growth as early as next year, and in 2026 to return it to the target of 4% per year, Russia will have to live with high inflation for a long time - at least the next two to three years, says Oleg Vyugin, former deputy chairman of the Central Bank.

>The budget increases expenses and this money goes to the army and law enforcement agencies that do not produce goods, explains Vyugin: “If earlier this was somehow compensated for by imports, then now it goes with a creaking due to calculations, and the main thing is that the cost of imports itself increased due to transactional markups.”

>The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade promised Russians wealth due to the collapse of the ruble

>A sharp weakening of the ruble could have a positive impact on the welfare of Russia and the development of the country's economy, said Minister of Industry and Trade Anton Alikhanov.

>“To become a rich country, society, where financially self-sufficient people live, there needs to be a complex economy. <…> We now have unique opportunities to increase this complexity,” Alikhanov told the Shot telegram channel.

>He explained that the current situation is pushing domestic production to look for a new depth of processing, to localize their capacities in the country, and also contributes to the emergence of new scientific developments. “As a matter of fact, technical leadership projects, as we expect, can push us to new levels of representation, including in the international economy,” Alikhanov noted.

>The minister also drew attention to that in current conditions it is necessary to expand the number of countries for importing goods, since Russia cannot “focus solely on one or two suppliers.”

>Before this, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov found benefit from the collapse of the ruble. According to him, the current dollar-ruble exchange rate “is very, very conducive” to exports. At the same time, he emphasized which does not say whether the course is good or bad.

>In turn, Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov said that the weakening of the ruble is not related to fundamental factors and is caused by the strengthening of the dollar against world currencies and concerns of foreign trade participants regarding further interaction with counterparties against the backdrop of sanctions against Russian banks.

>“At the same time, it is important to note that the Russian economy is now much less dependent on payments in the currencies of unfriendly countries. The share of the Russian ruble and the currencies of friendly countries in the second half of 2024 reached 82% in exports and 78% in imports,” Reshetnikov noted.

>The ruble to dollar exchange rate fell to its lowest level since March 2022 on November 27, reaching 114 rubles on Forex. for a dollar. The euro cost more than 119 rubles, and the yuan - 15 rubles. Then the Russian currency strengthened slightly against the backdrop of the Central Bank’s measures to stabilize the foreign exchange market. In particular, the regulator announced the suspension of foreign currency purchase operations until the end of the year as part of the budget rule. However, on the afternoon of November 28, the depreciation continued.

>From March 21, 2025, only law enforcement agencies and enterprises carrying out state defense orders will be able to protect all their employees from mobilization, writes “Echo” with a link to the new booking rules.For other organizations, a maximum number of employees will be established who can be provided with immunity from being sent to war with Ukraine.

>Thus, “government bodies” will be able to reserve up to 95% of the “staffing strength of their organizational structure for wartime.” The same figure is provided for organizations that have mobilization assignments from the government. Those who carry out similar orders from government agencies, the Central Bank, Rosatom or Roscosmos will be able to book up to 85% of their employees. And organizations that have mobilization tasks from local governments - up to 75%.

>For the first time, the government is establishing a specific number of citizens subject to reservation in each structure. Previously, such data was neither in the rules nor in the methodological recommendations, noted the head of the legal department of the Conscious Objector Movement, Artem Klyga.

>Previously, the Cabinet of Ministers reduced the list of organizations having the right to issue a reservation from mobilization for their employees. This was reflected in the new resolution of the interdepartmental commission dated June 5, which was not published in the public domain. According to the document, all previously issued reservations are valid only until March 21, 2025. After this, new rules for obtaining immunity from mobilization will come into force, limiting the number of enterprises that will have access to this function.

>At the end of October, it became known that the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation were putting pressure on the Kremlin, calling for a new wave of mobilization to replenish troops. The Economist's sources noted: that the Russian army continues to rely on primitive tactics on the battlefield, resulting in massive casualties. In their opinion, problems with personnel levels are also evidenced by Vladimir Putin’s decision to involve North Korean soldiers in the war.

>A high-ranking source at NATO said: that Russia recruits up to 30 thousand people per month, which helps cover losses, but this is not enough to conduct active offensive operations.A person aware of Putin’s conversation with the leadership of the Ministry of Defense told The Wall Street Journal that because due to the lack of strength, more and more people are convincing the president of the need to announce a new wave of mobilization, but for now he refuses, fearing a drop in his rating, and wants to use only volunteers.

>On November 23, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that now there is no need for a new conscription, since the Russians themselves sign up for the front, concluding “hundreds” of contracts with the Ministry of Defense per day. Meanwhile, in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces there is a growing number of those who believe that the war with Russia has reached a dead end and can only be overcome through negotiations. Ukrainian Armed Forces officers told Bild that the situation “is becoming increasingly grim and complex” due to for a lack of resources while Russia has everything it needs to continue hostilities.

The state of the Rusnigerian aviation:

>The number of accidents with aircraft of Russian airlines in 2024 reached a record

>In less than a year 2024, the number of air incidents involving passenger aircraft of Russian airlines exceeded the previous year’s figures, reaching a record for at least the last six years. According to calculations by Novaya Gazeta. Europe”, as of the end of November, 208 cases were recorded, which is almost 30% more than 161 incidents for the same period in 2023.

>Of these incidents, at least 90 times the planes returned to their departure airport or made emergency landings due to identified technical faults already in flight. The statistics include only cases that occurred after the launch, when the aircraft was officially recognized as ready for operation and there were passengers on board. Problems discovered at the pre-flight preparation stage were not taken into account, although there are probably many more of them, the publication notes.

>The largest increase in accident rates was recorded for Superjet 100 aircraft. In 2024, these airliners accounted for 56 incidents - the same number as Boeing aircraft, of which there are almost twice as many in the fleet of the largest Russian airlines (188 versus 93 according to the Federal Air Transport Agency). The most common faults are problems with engines (30%) and chassis (20%). In addition, malfunctions in the operation of hydraulic systems, brakes and navigation equipment are often recorded. Some aircraft become involved in incidents multiple times in ashort period of time. So,

>The Superjet that burned down in Antalya three months earlier managed to make several emergency landings due to technical faults. An Airbus aircraft of one of the Russian airlines, whose autopilots and nose wheel control system failed during the flight, was returned to service within a day after the incident. After the outbreak of war in Ukraine, Russian aviation faced unprecedented sanctions. The US, EU and other countries have closed airspace to Russian air carriers, and manufacturers Boeing and Airbus have stopped supplying spare parts and technical support. This forced airlines to switch to “cannibalization” - dismantling aircraft for spare parts - and using parts that exceeded their standard service life.

>The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has assigned Russia a “red flag” - a sign of a low level of flight safety, which only three countries besides Russia have: Bhutan, Liberia and theDemocratic Republic of Congo. According to the forecasts of the consulting company Oliver Wyman, by 2026 the Russian aircraft fleet could be reduced by more than half.¨

Coal industry already died. This is just the aftermath:

>Coal regions of Russia are faced with a precipitous drop in budget revenues

>The largest coal mining regions in Russia have faced a sharp reduction in business taxes due to the problems of coal companies that are suffering losses, losing exports and being forced to reduce production. The main coal region - the Kemerovo region, which accounts for 60% of hard coal production and about 80% of coking coal - recorded a collapse in income tax revenues by 2.5 times (by 59%), the head of the Ministry of Finance said, speaking in the Federation Council Anton Siluanov.

>In addition, incomes sank in Buryatia and the Jewish Autonomous Region, the minister listed. The total income tax revenues to the budgets of the constituent entities, according to Siluanov, by November 20 dropped by 7%, or 357 billion rubles.

>“These are either raw coal industries, or those regions where there are export-oriented enterprises, for which exports have decreased for one reason or another,”- Siluanov explained (he was quoted by Interfax).

>Coal miners de facto have nothing to pay taxes to local budgets. According to Rosstat, every second coal company in Russia became unprofitable, and the balanced financial result of the entire industry became negative: in January-September, coal miners worked in the minus by 91.3 billion rubles, although a year ago they received more than 350 billion rubles in profit for the same period.

>>489842235

>Western sanctions have become a key problem for the industry, notes Janis Kluge, a researcher at the German Institute for International Security Studies. Unlike oil and gas, which the European Union continues to purchase, albeit in small quantities, coal came under a total embargo, and Asian countries that bought Russian coal last year sharply reduced demand.

>Total coal exports from Russia in January–July dropped by 11.4%, to 112.6 million tons. And since coal miners exported about half of their production, the blow was painful for them. In addition, the fall in coal prices had an impact, blocking of payments and unavailability of imported equipment, Kluge lists.

>As a result: coal production in Russia began to decline: at the end of September, the decline was 4.9% for hard coal and 4.7% for brown coal.

>AC TEK, a state analytical center under the Ministry of Energy, warned at the end of October that the entire coal industry is on the verge of bankruptcy. Having lost Western markets and faced with a sharp drop in demand in “friendly” countries, coal companies received an additional blow from the government, which introduced additional taxes for the industry and sharply increased tariffs for transportation on the Russian Railways network. In total for 2022–2024. seizures from coal miners amounted to 500 billion rubles, estimated at the AC FEC.

This is not a special segment, because Moscow Times doesn't deserve one. This article is about the shortage of workers:

>“There is no one to work.” How Russia is approaching personnel collapse

>“This morning, bus number 7 did not go on route. The dispatcher said that there would be no bus because there was no one to work,” a resident of the city of Kamensk wrote on social networks at the end of October.

>This case is just one example of the widespread impact of labor shortages that have been accelerating since Moscow launched a “special operation” in Ukraine in February 2022.

>In the Sverdlovsk region there are dozens of enterprises of the military-industrial complex, including Uralvagonzavod, producing, among other things, tanks.

>According to the Department of Labor and Employment of the Sverdlovsk Region, at the beginning of October 2024, the need for workers was 54,912 vacancies with the number of unemployed 8,762 people.

>In the Central Federal District, which includes Moscow, things are even worse - the plenipotentiary representative of the President of the Russian Federation Igor Shchegolev reported on Tuesday that in the Central Federal District there are nine vacancies for every unemployed person.

>Business and officials at all levels, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, speak about the personnel shortage as the main problem of the Russian economy. To describe the situation on the labor market, some officials and entrepreneurs have gone so far as to describe “catastrophe” and “collapse,” and experts warn that the shortage of workers will increase.

>Over the course of almost three years of the “special operation”, the personnel shortage in Russia has reached unprecedented proportions: unemployment has dropped by almost half, reaching a new historical low of 2.3% in October, and surveys of enterprises conducted by the Central Bank record an unprecedentedly low level of employee coverage in the entire history of observation.

>Increased recruitment into the armed forces and involvement in the defense industry is delaying the already limited for the demographic pit of personnel from civilian enterprises, who cannot compete with the constantly growing payments to contract workers and salaries at defense industry enterprises.

>Companies and regions complain about a shortage of engineers, doctors, technologists, builders, mechanics, electricians, mechanics, drivers and machinists.

>According to the Bank of Russia, 73% of Russian enterprises are experiencing staff shortages. A survey by the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP) shows a staff shortage in 82.8% of companies.

>The need of the Russian economy for workers in the second quarter of 2024 reached a record of 2.714 million people, experts from the Higher School of Economics (HSE) calculated last month. “The “staff shortage” has turned into a universal phenomenon, capturing almost all parts of the economic system,” says the report of Rostislav Kapelyushnikov, deputy director of the HSE Center for Labor Studies.

>SBO FACTOR

>The departure of tens of thousands of able-bodied citizens into the army and emigration after the start of the “special operation” aggravated the already difficult situation on the labor market caused by poor demography, which experts warned about decades ago.

>According to Kapelyushnikov, during mobilizations and relocations, the civilian sector could lose up to one million workers, or about 1.3% of the workforce.

>A representative of a recruiting agency in Yekaterinburg said that in the Sverdlovsk region there is a large loss of personnel due to “sending to SVO”:

>“Clients complain, they say: I used to have a hundred people working for me, but now there are only men then it’s as if there isn’t.”

>Only a one-time payment for concluding a contract in the Sverdlovsk region is 2.1 million rubles, which is almost 25 times higher than the average monthly salary in Russia. In Moscow, a one-time payment to a contract soldier is 2.3 million rubles, and taking into account the monthly allowance, it is over 5.2 million rubles.

>At the same time, the defense sector is actively hiring employees: First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov reported that in a year and a half, 520,000 Russians and about 850 civilian enterprises were involved in the production of products for the armed forces.

>“In your region there was some half-dead plant that produced shock absorber springs for some defense factories, for tanks, eked out a miserable existence. And now orders are pouring in for it - you need a lot of springs,” a source in one of the industrial companies describes the situation.

>An employee of one of the civil sector companies in Tatarstan said that many find work in the Alabuga special economic zone, where drones are assembled: “The wages there are many times higher. One friend who worked like this said that he couldn’t even spend this money because he was always at work.”

>Since the state defense order cannot be fulfilled, and the treasury does not skimp on defense expenses, defense industry enterprises are uncontrollably increasing the number of employees, and this will only stop when the demand for military products decreases, Andrei Gartung, general director of the Chelyabinsk Forge and Press Plant, said in early November.

>No reductions are expected yet. Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev last week, during a visit to Uralvagonzavod, promised its employees “a lot of work.” “There are no restrictions in the defense industry - they have received crazy funding, so they can raise wages and lure workers away. In civil industries, restrictions are costs. If they become prohibitive, you can no longer increase wages,” said Natalya Zubarevich, a professor at the Faculty of Geography at Moscow State University.

>UNDERSET

>The labor shortage is relevant for all regions of Russia, according to the Headhunter labor market review. According to Superjob, the number of vacancies in general has grown by 1.7 times over two years, and in industry by 2.5 times. The shortage is most acute in manufacturing and logistics companies, the service sector and IT. Construction organizations are the absolute anti-leader, writes the HSE: the personnel vulnerability index in the second quarter reached its maximum value for the entire period of research since 2000, having more than doubled by 2023. The shortage of personnel in the construction industry leads to an increase in prices for installation work and has a detrimental effect on processes: deadlines increase and quality suffers, said Lydia Kataskina, director of personnel at Glavstroy.

>“Our question is: should we take a new project or not, will we actually do it or not? Not because there is no money, will there actually be people coming to work at the construction site?”— said Sergei Pakhomov, director of the Ural development company Golos Group, in November.

>According to the estimates of the head of the Ministry of Agriculture Oksana Lut, in 2023, about 200,000 people left the Russian agro-industrial complex, which is 3.3% of the total number of agricultural workers. The shortage of personnel in agriculture negatively affects the entire chain - from tillage and sowing to the harvesting campaign, which ultimately affects the quality of the crop and its safety, according to a study by the B1 group of companies and the National Association of Agricultural Producers InterAgroTech. The shortage of workers is forcing companies to reduce requirements for employees - insufficiently qualified personnel play an increasingly important role in production, which again affects quality, say experts from the Center for Macroeconomic Analysis and Forecasting (CMACP), which is close to the government. “In every industry, the first priority is the shortage of personnel - competition for personnel, the need to increase labor costs. But she’s not physically there,” said the head of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, Alexander Shokhin, last week.

>The head of the upper house of parliament, Valentina Matvienko, complained about the “serious understaffing” of the internal affairs bodies, which, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in two years it doubled, amounting to 173,800 people at the beginning of November, or 18.8% of the staff.

>“One district police officer works for four, for ten. What quality of work, what kind of law and order can we talk about, including issues of migration, drug trafficking, and others?”- said Matvienko.

>REFER A FRIEND - GET CASHBACK

>As a result of competition for employees and wage races, inflation is accelerating. High wages encourage people to spend more and take out loans, activating consumer demand, which forced the Central Bank to raise the key rate to a record level in 20 years.

>Due to rising costs, companies will slow down investments and reduce business, analysts warn. Officials and entrepreneurs are already signaling a decline in investment activity in Russia, blaming the high key rate; The CBI counters that the problem isstaff shortage.

>Reuters surveyed a dozen companies in the construction and manufacturing sectors about the labor shortage problem. In addition to increasing salaries, enterprises are trying to retain employees by increasing social packages and bonuses, attracting schoolchildren to work, and attracting them with “refer a friend - get cashback” programs.

>Companies also talk about their readiness to robotize production, however, as the Central Bank noted, problems with the supply of imported equipment due to sanctions may become an obstacle to automation.

>The head of the Ministry of Economic Development, Maxim Reshetnikov, this month called on the regions to more actively attract young people, pensioners and people with disabilities to work, and also to remove legal restrictions on overtime work. The authorities are in no hurry to solve the problem by influx of migrants. Two-thirds of companies have encountered difficulties in attracting foreign workers; many complain about the government-imposed ban on hiring migrants, according to a survey by the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs.

>The head of VTB Bank said on Tuesday, that without migrants the Russian economy “won’t breathe” - “it’s easy to kick them out, but someone needs to work.”

>Glavstroy reported that after the outflow of workers from Central Asia, the company is considering options to attract personnel from Southeast Asia.

>IT WILL BE WORSE

>Competition for labor will continue, demographics will only begin to improve towards the end of the decade, according to a November study from Superjob, which forecasts industry labor shortages will worsen next year.
“Over the medium term, the supply of personnel will deteriorate due to the completion of the pension reform and the outflow of part of the labor force in connection with the implementation of the SVO, primarily due to the increase in the number of contract workers. In the more distant future, the actualization of negative demographic trends is likely,” CMACP experts wrote in the summer. The shortage of doctors in Russia in the next five to seven years may increase to 40-45% from the current 25.7%, predicts the Ombudsman in the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

>According to Kapelyushnikov’s estimates, in the coming decades the number of employed may decrease by 5–10 million people how almost all potentially significant sources of replenishment of the labor force have already been exhausted, including migrants.

>“The intensification of labor migration, even if it occurs, is unlikely to be significant. Even an increase in the share of migrant workers in the total number of employed by 1-2 percentage points will not be able to compensate for losses in the labor force expected in the coming decades,” says Kapelyushnikov.

>According to the authorities, by 2030 the Russian economy will need an additional 2.4 million people employed in manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, social services, research, development and IT.

>“We don’t yet understand where we will get them from. We now all believe that artificial intelligence will save us, because what else can?!”— Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko said.

I don't mind ammo being scarce. Misery mod for CoP did that pretty well I think, but making everything super tanky takes a lot of apprehension out of combat. Does the old SoC meta still hold where head shots still can get pretty brutal at least?

I wouldn't say "super tanky". You just have to spend a bit more ammo on the mutants. That is it. You can still finish a group of 4 humans with 4 well aimed bullets.

Bootleg DF is news to me, I stopped playing back in the d40 days, but I did dip back in breifly after he added gays, so I could round them up and drop them into a volcano. Only new change I liked was how multi z level trees work, and how harvested fruit and nuts off them is done with zones. That darkest night mod for new DF was pretty fun, I made a glass tower in the middle of some radioactive hellscape and trash penguins in relative safety while city sized horrors slaughtered various post human trade caravans outside.

But I agree, modded stalker is where it's at.

Bloodsuckers get shreckt by 9x18 for some reason
Takes about 25 shots to the torso . While 5.45 may take 60-70 . Fleshes slugs are best but you have to shoot them in the side not face same with boars . Snorks haven't been jumped by them yet. Honestly the worst is poltergiests those mf tank alot but i think it has something to do with "rock" shield thing .
>>489845744
I explore a lot too ammo is plentiful if you go for a couple of stashes . But for cash you gotta find artefacts . Balance for now is very SoC esc except the repair cost those are just insane .

Hm, banan. Judging by the trailers it seems like they expect you to stick with 9x18 for most of the game so I guess that's how it was balanced? Weird.

Fleshes being less dangerous boars I can sort of get behind. One or two well placed .45 rounds used to do them in. Poltergeists are so shitty, especially when mods reduce their hit box to almost nothing. Guess we will see on snorks.
