Director of the Institute of Economics and Finance at the State University of Management, Professor Galina Sorokina, explained why the Russian authorities are not handing out money.
She said Russia could not use the Thai government's method of making payments to the population.
This was reported by the Prime agency.

According to Sorokina, there is no economic downturn in Russia. The country's economy is growing.
Therefore, there is no need for incentive payments to the population.
She explained that in Thailand they were distributing money to support the economy during the crisis.
There is no such crisis situation in sight in Russia.
The country's economy is growing and there is no crisis in the country. Therefore, Thailand's experience is not suitable for the Russian Federation.
In Russia there is no need for incentive payments to the population.
