The Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation of the eighth convocation. Elected in single mandate constituency № 163 (Saratov constituency - Saratov Oblast)
recalled that yesterday's plenary
session of SPIEF 2025 lasted four hours: ”The conversation was held in one
breath. It was a conversation. It took place in a huge hall, which was filled
with guests from 140 countries. It was a conversation between the moderator and the forum participants — our country's President Vladimir Putin, the President
of Indonesia, the Representative of the King of Bahrain for Humanitarian
Affairs and Youth Affairs, the Deputy Prime Minister of the State Council of China, and the Vice President of South Africa.“
”The moderator was so inquisitive that he constantly returned to topics that interested him. The economy was certainly of particular interest. This is the theme of the forum itself. But, of course, the political situation in the world and security issues were also discussed. Topics included Russia, Ukraine, Israel, and Iran. I will focus on the most interesting and, in my opinion, important things that were said. On the development of the world and the economy,“ he said.
”The world is developing. Russia is friends and cooperates with those who want to move forward and are ready to do so. Most countries are in favor of a multipolar and just world. That is their choice. Russia and China are not forming a new world order; our countries are shaping it, clearing the way for this process so that it is more balanced and meets the interests of the overwhelming majority of states,“ wrote Vyacheslav Volodin.
According to the Chairman of the State Duma, the BRICS countries are building up their economic potential. ”Today, they account for 40% of the global economy, and this share will only grow. Meanwhile, the share of the G7 is decreasing year after year. The Russian economy has recently achieved growth and progress in response to challenges. Our country's GDP growth in 2023 will be 4.1%, and in 2024, 4.3%. Russia currently ranks fourth in the world and first in Europe in terms of GDP,“ he said.
”The economies of Western countries are losing ground. Economic growth in 2024 was 0.9% in the Eurozone and 2.8% in the US. Meanwhile, global growth was 3.3%,“ ”We have learned to focus. Wherever we strike, mobilization and results are higher. President Putin's position on recession is that there is no recession. We must do everything to prevent recession and stagnation. This is a task that we will tackle together with our colleagues in the government. When it comes to challenges, the government must offer solutions. Those who describe the weather instead of predicting it are in the wrong job.“
In addition, the Chairman of the State Duma noted that inflation is falling: ”The forecast for the end of the year should be 7%. This is the Central Bank's message regarding the rate, which remains high. The Central Bank has always cited rising inflation as the reason for this decision. Now it is starting to decline. This means that, taking other factors into account, the key rate should be lowered. This is clearly expected.“
”For our part, we will return to this topic. Conditions must be created for economic development. On security and conflicts,“ he added.
“Russia, for its part, is doing everything possible through political and diplomatic means to resolve the situation in the Middle East. Our country is not seeking to mediate, but is offering options for a solution,” Vyacheslav Volodin also wrote
Speaking about the situation in Ukraine, he noted: ”When adopting its declaration of independence, Ukraine declared its neutral and non-aligned status. Kiev unleashed a war against the peaceful Russian-speaking population of Novorossiya, whom our country was forced to defend. Given the militarization and bloody coup in Ukraine, as well as its departure from neutral status, it was necessary to ensure the safety of the citizens of the Donetsk and Lugansk Republics and Russia as a whole. The peace talks in Turkey were disrupted by British Prime Minister Johnson on the instructions of former US President Biden. They are responsible for the continuation of the conflict, which could have been stopped earlier.“
”Russians and Ukrainians are one people. In this sense, all of Ukraine is ours. The situation along the entire front line is developing successfully. Our army is liberating more and more settlements from neo-Nazis. Wherever a Russian soldier sets foot, that is ours. Russian army units are not far from the city of Sumy. There are no plans to take Sumy, but it cannot be ruled out,“ Vyacheslav Volodin stressed.
”The International Economic Forum is becoming increasingly interesting. It demonstrates Russia's development and the enormous interest in it from other countries,“ he concluded.
