    Any more details to both?
    Two you mean expanding throughput or Siberian direction? BAM and Transsib are already existing more than 100 years. Not they should carry more bot form China to EU. AFAIK wide gauge for railroad will end in Vienna.

    The other project I'll search more but for now: this is actually old Stalins idea... but as we all know his ideas were so bad that Soviet Union became superpower ;-) After hid death in 53 project was dropped..

    Now there is another take but wih Gas industry, Norther Route in North and Iran/India in south.

    It's these projects that will boost Russias economy the most, next to also increase the population in central Russia.

    They need a massive logistics hub. I still support idea it be Krasnoyarsk due to its location and fact its still large populated city. That in turn will make it a very big economic power house of Siberia.

    Still? population is growing and reached around 1 mln now ;-). As for general population growth, not only in Siberia. I dont think that without relatively massive population influx anything drastically changes.

    Wiki:

    Planned Projects

    In March 2016, RZD approved an updated version of high-speed rail development program until 2030. The 5 trillion ruble program includes the construction of Moscow–Kazan–Yekaterinburg, Moscow–Adler and Moscow–St. Petersburg high-speed lines, as well as other high-speed lines connecting regional cities.

    The construction program is divided into three stages. Until 2020 Russian Railways plans to put into operation the high-speed rail sections linking Moscow–Kazan (1.2 trillion rubles), Moscow–Tula (268.6 billion rubles), Chelyabinsk–Yekaterinburg (122.6 billion rubles), Tula–Belgorod (86.8 billion rubles rubles), Yekaterinburg–Nizhny Tagil (12.9 billion rubles) and Novosibirsk–Barnaul (62.3 billion rubles). The project design of the largest container port in Ust-Luga for reception and distribution of containerized freight on China–Europe route is also part of the program.

    Between 2021-2025 RZD plans to build Rostov–Krasnodar–Adler, Tula–Voronezh high-speed rail and the extension of Kazan-Yelabuga high-speed rail, as well as other regional high-speed rail links.

    During the 2026-2030 third phase of the program Russian Railways will build Moscow–St. Petersburg high-speed rail section, the railway line will be extended from Yelabuga to Yekaterinburg, and from Voronezh to Rostov-on-Don.

    Apart from the high-speed rail, the other big projects of RZhD are:

    a). Expansion of BAM capacity (underway)
    b). Construction of rail-line to Yakutsk from the Trans-Sib (underway)
    c). Construction of a rail-line from the mainland to Sakhalin island (underway partially, Sakhalin's rail infrastructure is currently being thoroughly overhauled, but the bridge project is not approved as yet).

    All 3 are part of larger, more long-term strategic objectives:
    a) is needed for the futher expansion of goods cargo transportation from Asia
    b) is needed to make the Bering Straight tunnel megaproject at least look somewhat plausible in a few decades time
    c) is needed for a perspective tunnel from Sakhalin (and thus Russia) to Japan; which Russia has been proposing to Japan for some time now

    In addition, RZhD is actively pushing the idea of a trans-Korean railway, so that South Korea can export goods to Europe through Russia by rail. However recently America has stepped in and put a stop to any reconnection of North and South Korean rail-lines, claiming that the North needs to give up its nuclear program before any discussions of such can take place.

    The railway on Sakhalin is narrower than in the rest of Russia, the tracks will now be brought to standard.

    There is also a extension of the railway network up to the Bering strait with an extra line going to Petropawlowsk.

    that probably explains why Russian money leaving the country has increased this year. It was mentioned to "paying of debts" I believe I read it.

    The cabinet has approved the construction of the high speed railway cheers

    First it's going to be Moscow-Nizhniy Novgorod and later when there's additional funding, the railway will be continued to Kazan.

    For Russian speakers here's the entire legal document with all the projects in it:

    New oil currency is intended to replace the dollar.

    To accelerate the rejection of the dollar in export calculations can help modern technologies of the digital economy. An idea emerged to take advantage of such close friendship between Russia and OPEC and together create a strong oil cryptocurrency, for which and sell its raw materials. Is it utopia or a real alternative to petrodollars?

    In the conditions of the government’s de-dollarization plan for the Russian economy and the desire of officials to transfer export calculations from dollars to rubles, yuan or euro, new unexpected solutions to the problem appear.

    For calculations on the oil market, OPEC + countries, including Russia, could use a special blockchain-based cryptocurrency instead of the dollar, provided with gas, oil or other energy resources, said Igor Yusufov, former energy minister and now head of Energiya corporation, Prime reports . Given that oil and gas resources still constitute half of Russian exports, the abandonment of the dollar in these calculations would be a huge step towards dedollarization.


    https://vz.ru/economy/2018/10/11/945451.html


    Just a speculation but perhaps a good idea. To use dollar (equivalent in $ per barrel) without using a dollar itself lol1 lol1 lol1

    US stepped up but both Korean leader meet despite. I am actually glad that Us started war against everybody now. China and India so far said no to US. I have a hunch that railway to Sakhalin is not necessarily for those 400k inhabitants ;-)

    Judging by budget surplus, they have already enough funding. But I imagine they will play it safe and do it bit by bit. After the railway link of Crimean bridge is done, a lot more money will be available.

    AS long as all highly probable risk factors are covered by reserves money supply than I'd say yes.

    Contrary to sanctions: foreigners will invest $ 40 billion in the Russian economy
    Basically, the money will go to transport infrastructure and technology development.

    Only rubles: banks will be restricted from issuing currency loans to businesses


    The proposal is contained in the de-dollarization plan of the economy.


    Lending in foreign currency to companies that do not have sufficient export earnings will make it unprofitable for banks. Such a point is contained in the de-dollarization plan of the economy, which was introduced in the Cabinet. About this "Izvestia" told two federal officials from the financial and economic bloc of the government and a source familiar with the content of the document. For such loans, it is planned to establish increased risk ratios, which will force banks to create additional reserves. Business supports the approach: this will avoid problems with debt repayment with a sharp drop in the ruble exchange rate.


    The state plans to motivate Russian banks not to issue foreign currency loans to organizations that do not have sufficient revenue in other monetary units, a federal official told Izvestia. He added that the strict restrictions on the provision of such loans in the document still did not lay. Another official familiar with the dedollarization plan explained that the so-called risk-weighting principle is planned to be applied to banks (determines the size of the created reserves depending on how high the risk of loan default is). Information about limiting the issuance of loans in foreign currency was confirmed by a source participating in the discussion of the plan.

    - Banks will not be profitable to lend to the company in terms of reserves, if they do not have foreign exchange earnings, - said a federal official.

    I wonder how they are gonna reach 15% of return per annum? dunno dunno dunno

    In order to attract foreigners to Russian infrastructure projects, they need to offer a fairly high yield - about 15% per annum, says Vladimir Rozhankovsky, an expert on capital management at the International Financial Center. According to him, otherwise they are not interested in such projects.

    FIFA 2018 World Cup effect on Russia's GDP to reach $2.3-3.2 bln per year over 5 years

    It is expected that about a third of the future effect of the tournament will come from the development of tourism

    MOSCOW, October 16. /TASS/. The long-term effect of the 2018 World Cup on Russia's GDP after the tournament over the next five years will reach 150-210 bln rubles ($2.3-3.2 bln) per year, according to the report of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Local Organizing Committee.

    The 2018 World Cup matches were held from June 14 to July 15 in 11 Russian cities. The French national team won the tournament, the Russian team reached the quarterfinals for the first time in history.

    "The cumulative impact of the World Cup on Russia's GDP for 2013-2018 is 952 bln rubles ($14.5 bln), which is around 1% of the annual GDP," the report said. "The total contribution of the 2018 World Cup to the economy of each of the organizing regions was 2-20% of the annual GDP value. The long-term annual effect of the 2018 World Cup on Russia's GDP after the championship over the next 5 years will reach 150-210 bln rubles ($2.3-3.2 bln)," according to the report.

    It is expected that around a third of the future effect of the 2018 World Cup will come from the development of tourism, while the bulk of the long-term impact will be achieved due to the catalyst effect on investment.
