Anna Zolotareva on government contracts with higher advances
Anna Zolotareva, Leading Researcher, Center for Political Economy and Institutional Development at the Gaidar Institute, explained the RBC the reasons for higher advances and prepayments by government customers.
The expert believes that customers are acting in accordance with a targeted government policy, which over recent years has been increasing the allowable amounts of advances to respond to the economic situation, caused first by the Covid and then by sanctions against Russia. A change in the trend, when the key rate will finally start to reduce, will be possible only after the relevant government resolutions, however, customers will hardly change anything on their own initiative, believes Zolotareva.
