RECOMMENDATIONS
Approved at a meeting of the Federation Council Committee on Economic Policy on June 25, 2019 (Protocol No. 181)
Participants in the parliamentary hearings held by the Federation Council Committee on Economic Policy note the following. The continuous complication of the economy as an object of management led to the need to create a system of state strategic planning - decisions in the economic, technological, defense, social spheres acquire a long-term strategic character, require expanding the period of state forecasting and planning, balancing the planned measures on the resource and organizational capabilities of the economy, as well as establishing long-term guidelines.
Federal Law of June 28, 2014 No. 172-FZ "On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation" (hereinafter referred to as the Federal Law) is the main link in the regulatory legal framework of the strategic circuit for regulating the socio economic development of the country. The legal foundations for strategic planning in the Russian Federation, coordination of state and municipal strategic management and budgetary policy, the powers of federal state authorities, state authorities of the constituent entities of the Federation, and local self-government bodies have been established.
According to the Federal Law, strategic planning in the Russian Federation is carried out at the federal level, the level of constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the level of municipalities. The legal regulation of strategic planning is carried out, including in accordance with the laws and other regulatory legal acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
To date, a regional regulatory legal framework has been formed that establishes requirements for strategic planning documents of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. In each subject, laws "On strategic planning" of the subject were adopted, procedures for the development, adjustment, monitoring and control of the implementation of socio-economic development strategies were approved, socio-economic development strategies for the long term were adopted and action plans for their implementation were developed, medium-term and long-term forecasts of socio-economic development were approved, the procedure for the development and approval of the budget forecast was established, territorial planning schemes were approved. A significant innovation in the practice of public administration was the consolidation by the Federal Law of Spatial Strategy as an integral component of the strategic planning system in order to improve the spatial structure of the economy. On February 13, 2019, by order of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 207-r, the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025 was approved, aimed at reducing gaps in the socio-economic development of various constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
Meanwhile, today strategic state planning is characterized as fragmentary, in the process of development. In general, the strategic planning system has not been formed, and therefore the state authorities of the entities face problems that require a solution at the federal level.
The current various state planning documents (strategies, concepts, programs) are not sufficiently interconnected and coordinated, there is no single state planning body.
At the legislative level, the place of national goals and projects in the system of strategic planning documents has not been determined, their role as a strategic planning tool (document) has not been disclosed. As a result, the strategic planning system loses its comprehensive character, and the interrelation of national projects with government programs and other strategic planning documents is insufficient.
The main obstacles include the imperfection of the methodological and organizational base for managing these processes, the problems of realism in assessing the achievement of the goals set in the strategic planning documents, there are discrepancies in determining the time planning horizon, the lack of assessment of the necessary resources, and the problems of organizing expert work on the development of strategic planning documents due to the lack of the necessary qualifications of the management staff.
There are difficulties associated with achieving the values of indicators of socio-economic development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, and the cumbersome nature of the multi-level monitoring system for the implementation of national, federal and regional projects formed to date.
It is difficult for the activities of the executive bodies of state power of the subjects to have no strategic planning documents at the federal level (strategy for socio-economic development of the Russian Federation, strategic forecast of the Russian Federation), hierarchical consistency of documents, a unified plan for developing strategic planning documents at the federal and regional levels, as well as insufficient information support for the development of these documents.
Documents are characterized by industry isolation, lack of strategic guidelines for business and regions, practically not used in the process of development and decision-making. There is not always a relationship between strategic objectives and the budget process.
In this regard, special attention should be paid to the formation of a unified system of strategic planning, which will solve the entire range of tasks of the country's development and national security, ensure the interconnection of long-term goals of strategies and government programs, as well as resources for their implementation.
In connection with the above, the participants in the parliamentary hearings recommend:
