Abstract

Russian Abstract: В докладе рассмотрены теоретические аспекты экономических санкций для оценки и классификации ограничительных мер, применяемых странами-инициаторами по отношению к России. Предложены рекомендации для проведения экономической политики в условиях санкций на основе анализа применяемых ограничительных мер в отношении России, их влияния на экономику, а также оценки опыта различных стран по противодействию санкциям. Приведена оценка негативного влияния санкций на экономику Российской Федерации — порядка примерно 1 п. п. ВВП в год. Показано, что наиболее эффективной политикой противодействия санкциям является не введение симметричных мер и закрытие рынков товаров / услуг / капитала, а политика «агрессивной» открытости рынков для сотрудничества. Выявлено, что основной негативный канал влияния санкций на российскую экономику состоит не столько в уровне санкций, сколько в поддержании неопределенности относительно будущих санкционных параметров.

В связи с этим в краткосрочной и среднесрочной перспективе целесообразно направить усилия на стабилизацию текущего уровня санкций для снижения неопределенности, а не на их полную или частичную отмену.

English Abstract: The report discusses the theoretical aspects of economic sanctions to assess and classify the restrictive measures used by the initiating countries in relation to Russia. Recommendations are proposed for the conduct of economic policy in the context of sanctions based on an analysis of the restrictive measures applied to Russia, their impact on the economy, as well as the assessment of the experience of various countries in countering sanctions. An assessment of the negative impact of sanctions on the economy of the Russian Federation is given - about 1 pp of GDP per year. It is shown that the most effective anti-sanctions policy is not the introduction of symmetrical measures and the closure of the markets for goods / services / capital, but the policy of “aggressive” openness of markets to cooperation. It is revealed that the main negative channel of the impact of sanctions on the Russian economy consists not so much in the level of sanctions as in maintaining uncertainty about future sanctions parameters. In this regard, in the short and medium term, it is advisable to focus on stabilizing the current level of sanctions to reduce uncertainty, rather than on their full or partial cancellation.
