The main task of the expert community, according to V. Mau - is to give concrete, realistic proposals to solve the most urgent problems, among which he foremost named the maintenance of macroeconomic stability. Over the last ten years we have weaned from the problems of macroeconomic stability. Now, and in my opinion, society has not realized it yet, we have in a state budget deficit. It is true that Russia has a very low government debt below 10% of GDP. But oil prices in real terms are at the level of the 1980s. Therefore, the first and main goal is the macroeconomic balance.
For Russia it is particularly important, since for Russia it is a problem of preventing dependence from of the factors that can't be controlled by the government and from the external environment. The second set of questions, in his opinion, is social policy, or, as it also called - a new welfare state, the problems of investment in human capital (education, health care, pension system).
