Subject Russia's six-year development strategy. Significance A year on from its announcement, Russia's development programme to 2024 has many unanswered questions about specific activities and funding sources. Nor is it clear whether the programme will generate rapid growth and other positive impacts by 2024, as planned. Impacts The national projects should be a way of rallying public support but fewer than half of Russians have heard of them. The inflationary risks of higher public spending may push the central bank towards restrictive monetary policy. Essential legal, administrative, tax and other reforms are not high on the agenda.

This paper examines how innovation-led growth affects optimal monetary policy. We consider the Ramsey policy in a New Keynesian model where R&D leads to an expanding variety of intermediate goods and compare the results with those obtained when the expansion occurs exogenously. Positive trend inflation is found to be optimal under both assumptions, but much higher with profit-seeking innovation. Optimal monetary policy must be counter-cyclical in response to both technology and public spending shocks, yet the intensity of the reaction crucially depends on the presence of an R&D sector. However, the small amount of short-run deviations of prices from the non-zero trend inflation observed in response to shocks suggests inflation targeting as a robust policy recommendation.

If the analyses of the transmission mechanisms are not fundamentally wrong, it follows that Czech Republic shares a common feature typical for EU countries: the short-term non-neutrality of money with respect to real output. Money matters , money affects real output as well as prices. There can be significant differences, however, in the time lags, as well as in the strength of impact of monetary policy on both prices and output. Future steps of the Czech Republic toward monetary integration with the EU countries (starting with ERM 11 membership) will presuppose a further convergence of the transmission mechanism of Czech monetary policy toward the mechanism prevailing within the European Union. Such convergence can only proceed hand-in-hand with continuing transformation and restructuring of the Czech economy.
