Economic experts were skeptical about the idea of the Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev created in the Far East offshore zone that could entice clients unstable Cyprus.
In Russia, at the time there were already several offshore areas, but they were used to launder money. This economist Nikita Krichevsky.
"Recent remarks Medvedev evoke doubts about the adequacy, but not himself, and those he advises those who advise on the economy" - He said.
According Krichevsky, it is clear that the rhetoric of the Prime Minister is inspired by the situation around Cyprus, whose government earlier announced plans to write off tax stored in the banks deposit accounts, which is soaked in the EU.
"Mr. Medvedev said that the EU acts in Cyprus as a bull in a china shop. This is an analogy, but then he says that we have accounts in Cyprus and financial interests in government agencies. It is absolutely incomprehensible and plunges into shock, because state agencies operate the budget money. I believe that when the President speaks of the need deofshorizatsii economy, recognized the fact that government agencies have interests in offshore Cyprus, at least strange " - Added the economist.
Furthermore Krichevsky said that now in Russia there are about 20 special economic zones offering tax status, but this area, "That ground under certain tasks" . Also at one time worked in the country for several offshore zones.
"We have a zero in the first half, there were several offshore, just remember Chukotka, Kalmykia and all this led to the fact that the Russian budget, through internal offshore, was laundered billions, if not tens of billions of rubles," - Said Krichevsky.
Russian offshore not avoid corruption, such an opinion on the air, "the Russian news service," stated the former Deputy Minister of Economy of Russia Ivan Starikov.
"We have a fragmented justice, which decides on the basis of the guidance that comes from various centers of power and influence. Probably, it will be possible to build a city of the sun in a particular region. I think that the "hand" still make it to this oasis of crystal clear very quickly. It is futile, no one would believe it, " - Said I.Starikov.
Recall Thursday, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev proposed the creation of the Russian Far East offshore .
