It is envisaged that the placement of government securities on the domestic market will permit to attract Rub. 238.2 billion in 2006, while the amount of redemption of government securities will be at Rub. 68.4 billion. The respective indicators will make Rub. 289.9 billion and Rub. 89.9 billion in 2007, and Rub. 340.3 billion and Rub. 107.0 billion in 2008.

Therefore, there will be implemented in practice one of the avenues of the Debt Strategy aimed at the substitution of foreign debt by the internal debt, since the funds attracted on the domestic market will serve as the chief source of financing of the repayment of the foreign public debt.

In 2006 through 2008, the RF Finance Ministry is planning to stop the practice of making short term borrowings (less than one year) on the market of GKO OFZ taking into account the fact that the spheres of responsibility on the market of internal public debt were in fact divided between the RF Finance Ministry, which is responsible for the medium and long term segments of the market in the framework of the pursued budgetary policy, while as concerns the monetary policy, in the jurisdiction of the Bank of Russia is the short term segment of the market.

Amount, structure, and financial conditions of external borrowings. The probability of borrowings made on foreign markets is very low (the only exception will be the attraction of tied credits from foreign governments and international financial organizations in fulfillment of the earlier arrangements or in the framework of projects already in the implementation phase).

It is planned that in 2006 the use of targeted УtiedФ credits granted by the governments of foreign countries and international financial organizations (MFO) will amount to US $ 1.1 billion, while in 2007 and 2008 the respective amounts will make US $ 0.8 billion and US $ 0.5 billion respectively.

The amounts of borrowings mentioned above will include the non-financial loans from international financial organizations totaling to US $ 959.9 million in 2006, US $ 718.9 million in 2007, and US $ 439.1 million in 2008.

Settlement of the RF debt liabilities. The repayment of the public debt liabilities will be directly related to the implementation of the decision taken by the RF Government with respect to the substitution of the external liabilities with the domestic borrowings.

In 2006 through 2008, it is not planned to take measures aimed at the reduction of the amount of the internal public debt, therefore, the repayment of the principal debt due for settlement in the period under observation will be carried out via refinancing. Besides, in accordance with the estimates of the budget for years 2006 through 2008, the aggregate amount of funds allocated from the sources of internal financing of the deficit of the budget for the maintenance of the guarantees should make Rub.

6.8 billion, including Rub. 1.4 billion in 2006, Rub. 3.7 billion in 2007, and Rub. 1.7 billion in 2008.

It is envisaged that in 2006 the payments associated with the settlement of the foreign public debt will amount to US $ 9.5 billion.

D. Polevoy Monetary Policy.

In March, the rates of growth in consumer prices accelerated: the value of CPI was registered at 101.3.

At the same time, the national gold and foreign exchange reserves continued to grow and made US $ 137.billion by April 1, 2005.

In March of 2005, the value of the consumer price index made 1.3 per cent (as compared with 0.per cent registered in March of 2004, see Fig. 1). The major factor behind the March growth in prices was the rise of prices of food products: the respective prices increased by 2.1 per cent (as compared with 1.1 per cent registered in March of 2004). By the end of the month, the most perceptible growth in prices was observed with respect to fruits and vegetables (+ 11.2 per cent), meat and poultry (+ 2.per cent), as well as fish and sea products (+ 2.3 per cent). Therefore, in March fruits and vegetables accounted for the most significant contribution to the rise in prices of food products.
