Oil case is the most representative: export parity pricing mechanism was applied In the beginning of the 1990s, which caused a significant decrease in the competitiveness of most non-energy sectors ever-increasing fiscal burden forces the oil companies to work hard on their operating efficiency, choosing more competitive imports, which breaks domestic interindustry interactions oil dollars from petroleum exports make it possible to import the necessary goods that the Russian economy is not able to provide INSTITUTE OF ECONOMICFORECASTING RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES

Taxation of electricity consumption 10 Thank you for your a2en3on Andrey Kolpakov IEF RAS ankolp@gmail.com facebook: a.yu.kolpakov Key points The Russian energy sector remains one of the key factors of economic growth. It guarantees budget and macroeconomic stability There are different ways to use the economic potential of energy sector. Russia focuses on the tax collection to finance the socio-economic politics of the government. Such a strategy restricts economic growth in Russia Increase in oil production seems to be the most adequate scenario for Russia. But there are two challenges: a) profitability of new production projects and b) effective use of higher investments potential Energy sector is able to provide additional 1.33 percentage points of Russian GDP growth rate in a short- and medium-term. It may be a factor of starting and maintaining the economic growth in Russia INSTITUTE OF ECONOMIC FORECASTING RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES
