Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the data supplied by the Federal Treasury of Russia, in the period of January 2014 thru February 2014, federal budget revenues amounted to Rb 2368,1bn or 22.5% of GDP, an increase of 1.6 p.p. of GDP against the corresponding period in 2013. Within the first two months in 2014 oil and gas revenues increased 1.4 p.p. of GDP as compared to the same period of previous year. A weakening of t he ruble exchange rate against the US dollar and Euro was the key driver that pushed up federal budget revenues. A reduction of 1.4 p.p. of GDP in the federal budget expenditures in January thru February 2014 against the same two months of previous year to 22.2% of GDP (Rb 2337,6bn) resulted in a federal budget surplus of 0.3% of GDP or Rb 30,5bn in the period of January thru February 2014.
Download or read book Russia s State Budget in January December 2014 written by Tatiana Tischenko and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the preliminary data of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, on the basis of the results of January-December 2014 both revenues and expenditures of the federal budget rose by 0.3 p.p. of GDP as compared to the same period of the previous year. For 11 months of 2014, the revenues and expenditures of the consolidated budget of constituent entities of the Russian Federation rose, too, by 0.2 and 0.1 p.p. of GDP, respectively, as compared to January-November 2013. On the basis of the results of 2014, the deficit of the federal budget amounted to 0.5% of GDP, while the consolidated budget of constituent entities of the Russian Federation in January-November 2014 was executed with a small surplus of 0.1% of GDP. So, consolidation of negative factors such as a drop in global prices on hydrocarbons and depreciation of the ruble exchange rate has not affected much so far the execution of the revenue and expenditure sides of the federal budget and the consolidated budget of constituent entities of the Russian Federation. However, the Government of the Russian Federation and experts in public finances are unanimous that 2015 is going to become one of the most complicated years for the budget system of Russia in the past 15 years.

Download or read book State and Local Public Finance written by Ronald C. Fisher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its 4th edition, State and Local Public Finance provides a comprehensive and sophisticated analysis of state and local government public finance practices and issues, using the basic tools of economics. For this new edition, there is a focus on the most important services provided in the state-local sector: education, health and welfare, public safety, and transportation. This textbook provides an examination and analysis of public finance practices and problems in a federal fiscal system, focusing on the fiscal behaviour and policies of state and local governments. The author presents detailed descriptions of significant institutions. Modern economic theory is applied to examine the way these institutions are used to produce and finance services, and to provide evaluation of alternative policies. Although the emphasis is on U.S. institutions and issues, much of the economic analysis can be applied to any federal system or to fiscal decentralization. This fully revised new edition sees updates throughout to data, topics, and applications. The Headlines and Applications sections reflect the most current policy issues affecting state and local governments. These include the effects of the Great Recession on state and local governments, changes in the tax treatment of internet purchases, the Affordable Care Act and implications for Medicaid spending by state governments, demographic changes and the implications for state-local finances, the implications of changes in automobile technology for transportation financing, and the potential for increased gambling activity. This text will continue to be invaluable reading for those who study public finance, local government finance, urban economics and public policy and public administration.

Book excerpt: With an Introduction by Acclaimed Legal Scholar and New York Times Bestselling author Alan Dershowitz, The Official Impeachment Inquiry Report on The Results of The Trump-Ukraine Investigation—Plus the Articles of Impeachment and the Republican Report Disputing the Results of the Democratic Investigation. Donald Trump is on the verge of being only the third US President impeached by the House of Representatives, but is this a case of a president abusing his power and obstructing justice, or is it a partisan witch hunt protecting the Deep State? Can you trust the mainstream media, or do you want to read the Report for yourself? This groundbreaking report—released by the U.S. House Of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, chaired by Adam Schiff—contains the results of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump’s actions as he sought for Ukraine to announce investigations into Hunter Biden, as well as the Committee’s conclusions about whether those actions are impeachable offenses. Covering topics ranging from the anonymous whistleblower’s first attempts to spread the word about Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, to the Congressional testimony of Trump’s advisers and ambassadors, to the statements of Rudy Giuliani and William Barr, and even the President’s efforts to influence the inquiry, The Impeachment Report offers readers the full findings of the Intelligence Committee’s investigation, the articles of impeachment themselves, a rebuttal report from Republican representatives that disputes the process and results of the Democratic investigation, an introduction by esteemed attorney Alan Dershowitz, and information about the impeachment process itself. It is the ultimate resource for anyone who wants to know whether impeachment is warranted, and is a critical text in the ongoing back-and-forth battle to protect American democracy.

Download or read book Russia s State Budget in January November 2014 written by Tatiana Tischenko and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to data released by the RF Federal Treasury, Russia's federal budget revenue over the period of January-November 2014 increased by 0.5 p.p. of GDP on the same period of 2013 due to growth, by 0.5 p.p. of GDP, of the volume of oil and gas revenue.The main factor responsible for the upward movement of the oil and gas revenue index (and the corresponding upward movement of federal budget revenue) in face of plummeting world oil prices (to $60 per barrel) was the ruble's dramatic weakening against the USD and euro. Thus, the federal budget surplus of 1.9 % of GDP achieved over the first eleven months of 2014, as well as the surplus of 0.4 % of GDP in the consolidated budget of RF subjects achieved over the ten months of 2014, can by no means be regarded as manifestations of the budget system's sustainability as a whole. As early as late October 2014, Moody's Investors Service rating agency downgraded Russia's credit rating index from Baa1 to Baa2, pointing out in this connection that any further weakening of this country's national currency will have an extremely negative effect on the economy.
Download or read book America Ascendant written by Stanley B. Greenberg and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America is poised to lead the 21st Century, as it led the 20th. That will happen because the country is at a tipping point in the battle for its own renewal, a renewal that will allow America to be exceptional again. Our economy is on the move, fueled by revolutions in energy, immigration, innovation, big data and advanced manufacturing. America's energy independence has set off shockwaves. Just as important are the social transformations that are making the country ever more racially and culturally diverse, younger, a home to immigrants, and the metropolitan centers that foster a rising economic and cultural dynamism. While most other countries struggle profoundly with immigration and religious and racial differences, America's on a path to multicultural identity. Those revolutions in the economy, society and culture and are also producing a new American majority that embraces new values and new politics. Republicans are waging a counter-revolution and that is why America looks gridlocked and why the country is turning to Democrats to take on the country's growing challenges. The economic and social transformations leave people struggling to earn enough and reach the middle class. Families are under stress. Government is corrupted by big money. The American public is demanding the country address the dark side of our progress - and reforms are starting to happen. That is why Democrats will get to lead an era of reform and renewal comparable to the progressive era that mitigated the excesses of the Industrial Revolution. In this incisive book, expert strategist Greenberg draws on years of research and polling to illuminate how America is far from being gridlocked and he articulates a powerful vision of how American politics and America can be renewed.

Download or read book On Unemployment written by Mark R. Reiff and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-07 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With unemployment at historically high rates that show signs of becoming structural, there is a pressing need for an in-depth exploration of this economic injustice. Unemployment is one of the problems most likely to put critical pressure on our political institutions, disrupt the social fabric of our way of life, and even threaten the continuation of liberalism itself. Despite the obvious importance of the problem of unemployment, however, there has been a curious lack of attention paid to this issue by contemporary non-Marxist political philosophers. On Unemployment explores the moral implications of the problem of unemployment despite the continuing uncertainty involving both its causes and its cures. Reiff takes up a series of questions about the nature of unemployment and what justice has to tell us about what we should do, if anything, to alleviate it. The book comprehensively discusses the related theory and suggests how we might implement these more general observations in the real world. It addresses the politics of unemployment and the extent to which opposition to some or all of the book's various proposals stem not from empirical disagreements about the best solutions, but from more basic moral disagreements about whether the reduction of unemployment is indeed an appropriate moral goal. This exciting new text will be essential for scholars and readers across business, economics, and finance, as well as politics, philosophy, and sociology.
