National goals and model of economic growth: New in the Russian socio-economic policy of 2018—2019

Abstract
The paper deals with Russian social and economic development in the context of global trends. New economic crisis is looming ahead, but developed economies do not have sufficient fiscal and monetary instruments to mitigate it. The lack of institutional reforms, which were put on agenda by the crisis of 2008—2009, is another source of experts’ concerns. Russian authorities have announced a set of national goals and projects as the central point of social and economic policy for 2018—2024. The new economic growth policy includes the shift from the demand-side growth model to the supply-side one, broad implementation of project methods in economic policy, and continuation of conservative fiscal and monetary policy.
