Why is the Kremlin holding back on a major economic rescue package for its hard-hit economy? So far, the Putin regime has relied primarily on a decidedly modest set of targeted economic measures that fall far short of the tools utilized by the world’s major economies. Sergei Guriev, a professor at Sciences Po and the former chief economist at the EBRD, and a group of leading Russian economists recently proposed a more ambitious set of initiatives, including direct payments to all Russian citizens and more aggressive use of the country's massive reserves.
Please join Sergei Guriev for a virtual discussion on the impact of the coronavirus on the Russian economy and the package of emergency measures proposed by the expert group convened by the Liberal Mission Foundation.
