The study is to determine economic boundaries of operations of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. Methods. The study is based on the systems approach and methods of statistical, neural network and cluster analysis. Results. Analyzing the tomorrow-today dynamics of difference of the weighted average exchange rate RUB/USD and EUB/EUR and supply of USD and EUR, I discovered the supply of USD steadily exceeded the supply of RUB/EUR starting from 2018. Analyzing trends in growth rates of international reserves and money base (in its narrow sense), I found a growth in monetary growth starting from 2015 and currency reserves, cash in circulation (out of the Bank of Russia), statutory reserves of credit institutions in the Bank of Russia starting from 2017. Analyzing the importance of growth rates of market indicators, I identified its effective configuration referring to the dynamics of SP500. However, I point out stocks of Rostelecom, gold and RUB/USD. The article demonstrates the important ties between RTS index and stocks of Gazprom and Rostelecom, USD index ? RUB/USD, gold, SP500. Considering the existing structure of the Russian economy, the upper and base boundaries of the Bank of Russia’s operations are Repo rate and RUB/USD respectively. Conclusions and Relevance. The above economic boundaries of the Bank of Russia’s operations allow financial institutions to pursue an increase in the sustainability of the banking system, preserve the ownership structure, legal form and corporate governance, and use derivatives in order to decrease borrowings costs. The study contributes to the knowledge and competence of governmental officials so as to make administrative decisions on sources of growth in the Russian economy and respective opportunities.

Subject. The article investigates a Russian approach to ensuring economic growth. Objectives. The aim is to identify the basis of the Russian approach to ensuring economic growth. Methods. The study rests on the systems approach, using the methods of statistical, neural network, and cluster analysis. Results. The paper defines the structural importance of exports of goods and services, and changes in inventories. It highlights significant links with public consumption expenditures. The Russian approach to ensuring economic growth comes down to devaluation of the national currencyб resulting from the loss of the real inflationary potential of economic growth to maintain the volume of exports of goods and services in the context of maintaining public consumption expenditures. The increase in M2 forces the Central Bank of the Russian Federation to increase its foreign exchange reserves. This has a restraining effect on the growth of Russian Ruble’s monetary exchange rate. This phenomenon causes a drop in the Russian federal loan bond (OFZ) index and a replacement of strategic priorities with tactical ones. Conclusions. The basis of the Russian approach to ensuring economic growth is a reflection of the limits of the Russian economy development and the effectiveness of the Government of the Russian Federation.

Subject. The article focuses on the Russian finance. Objectives. I determine the basics and conditions needed for the Russian finance. Methods. The study is based on the systems approach and the method of statistical, neural network and cluster analysis. Results. Having evaluated growth rates of prices for basic commodities and quotations of the Russian stocks, I determined what underlies the Russian finance as the prevailing trend in Rosneft’s stocks and Urals oil futures. Observing the movement of RTSI, IMOEX, S&P500, WTI oil future, USD/RUB rate, I discovered the gap between IMOEX and RTSI. RTSI remains with the WTI oil futures trend, while IMOEX joined the trend in S&P500. Having analyzed the importance of growth rates of global indices, I understood what is required for their maximum, i.e. the lowest growth rates of RTSI and the highest FTSE100. Considering the global indices and their growth rates, the Russian finance will be viable if RTSI indices are associated with DJIA and US Dollar Index. Structurally, the Russian economy cannot ensure the direct association of RTSI and DJIA. RTSI gets associated with DJIA through S&P500. US Dollar Index is a leading components in this correlation, as it determined the dynamics of USD/RUB and IMOEX. As for the trend in the rate of principal currencies, the basket with USD and CNY seems to be acceptable for the financial regulator. Conclusions and Relevance. The content analysis reveals the threatening intensification of adverse factors that make the Russian economy dependent on oil production, and outlines what can be done to eliminate them. The findings constitute new knowledge and advance the competence of the financial market regulator to make administrative decisions concerning the allocation, reallocation of the public product value and a part of national wealth so as to maintain the Russian finance in terms of form and substance.

Subject. The article determines what smaller countries pursue in their economic policy as the uncertainty of the world economy increases. Objectives. I study the economic development of the Russian Federation from perspectives of smaller countries and the efficiency of the common and diverse economic policy of smaller countries, which are closely related with the Russian economy, such as Belarus, Armenia, Georgia, Ukraine and Estonia. Methods. I evaluated how some macroeconomic indicators of countries under study changed over time. To verify the hypothesis, I analyzed documents in public domain, including statistical data on macroeconomic developments of countries, such as the Russian Federation, Belarus, Armenia, Georgia, Ukraine and Estonia. I also applied a systems approach, comparative and statistical methods of research on key macroeconomic indicators. Results. At the current phase of multipolarity and globalization, Russia’s economic development is proved to influence both smaller countries coming along with its development vector, and States that simply have common borders with Russia. Considering the single course of their development and their geopolitical position, smaller countries ensure their sustainable growth. Conclusions and Relevance. Those countries which have chosen the single course of the development and considered their geopolitical position have performed their economic policy in the most successful way.

Subject. The article considers the financial and economic status of Russia as compared to developing countries of Europe and Asia. Objectives. The aim is to determine the financial and economic role and opportunities for development of Russia as a border between the developing countries of Europe and Asia. Methods. The study rests on the systems approach, using the methods of descriptive statistics and cluster analysis. Results. The study identifies the GDP deflator as a common dominating indicator. It reflects the activity and instability of the price index. Developing countries have consistently low values relative to Russia, the Russian GDP deflator is the limit. Asia, having less capital-intensive economies, is more stable in terms of the growth rate of the relevant indicator. Russia is defined as a source of price index instability and a benchmark for developing countries of Europe and Asia. The main causes of instability are governance and GDP. Conclusions. The success of Russia's development as a border between the developing countries of Europe and Asia depends on the consistency between the limits of economic relations and the existing structure of the Russian economy.

Subject. The article discusses the extent to which finance and economy are bound in Russia. Objectives. The study determines the cohesion of finance and economy in Russia. Methods. The study is based on the systems approach and methods of statistical, neural network and cluster analysis. Results. The paper determined the extent to which finance and economy are connected in Russia, considering the decay in the world economic order affecting the structural consistency of the Russian economy. The connection of finance and economy in Russia was found to tend to a lower profit margin from the difference of weighted average rates and the exchange rate, which pushes the financial sector to mortgage lending. To smooth any disparities in the lending market and eliminate causes of the housing bubble, the Russian Ministry of Finance has to increment the domestic debt ? RGBI. Analyzing the dynamics of RGBI, RTSI, USDRUB, NGG2021, BRG2021, I found out that USDRUB exceeded RGBI, RTSI and BRG2021. Natural gas (NGG2021) remains the only mechanism for sustaining the volume and return on RGBI. The U.S. sanctions against the Russian gas sector force to increase the volume of RGBI. The existing degree of the cohesion of finance and economy in Russia fuels an economic collapse than can be compared with 2008. Conclusions and Relevance. Studying the extent to which finance and economy are bound in Russia, it is possible to guide stakeholders of financial institutions, allowing them to increase the efficiency of lending for the real economy and using the potential of the resource structure of the Russian economy. The findings contribute to the available knowledge and competence of governmental officials and employees of financial institutions for choosing growth drivers of the Russian economy and seizing opportunities for this.

Subject. The article discusses Russia’s economy and analyzes its effectiveness. Objectives. The study attempts to determine to what extent Russia’s economy is effective. Methods. The study is based on the systems approach and the statistical analysis. Results. I discovered significant fluctuations of the structural balance due to changing growth rates of the total gross national debt denominated in the national currency, and the stability of growth rates of governmental revenue. Changes in the RUB exchange rate and an additional growth in GDP are the main stabilizers of the structural balance, as they depend on hydrocarbon export. As a result of the analysis of cash flows, I found that the exports slowed down. Financial resources are strongly centralized, since Moscow and the Moscow Oblast are incrementing their share in the export of mineral resources, oil and refining products and import of electrical machines and equipment. Conclusions and Relevance. The fact that the Russian economy has been effectively organized is proved with the centralization of the economic power and the limits through the cross-regional corporation, such as Moscow and the Moscow Oblast, which is resilient to any regional difficulties ensuring the economic growth and sustainable development. The findings would be valuable for the political and economic community to outline and substantiate actions to keep rates of the economic growth and sustainable development of the Russian economy.
