Recession Global

The financial and economic crisis - it is not God's punishment, and beneficence, as it clears the economy from speculators, confident hegumen Philip - in the peace officer of RF Audit Chamber and Benjamin Simonov. The economic downturn will end neskoro, but pray for the recovery of the economy is meaningless, says cleric.God knows better what needs to be people who assured hegumen in an interview with the magazine Ogonyok, transfers Newsru.Igumen Philippe - Head of inspection in monitoring the banking system, credit institutions and monitoring of financial markets. He is the only current priest, composed of public service. Now his control over the inspection of work by crisis measures. "The law gives us the right to control commercial organizations that receive budget funds. And most importantly - to identify what was preventing the movement of these funds and their efficient use," - says Father Superior of their work. - Our primary goal - not to "grab the hand." I always proceed from the presumption of innocence, and believe that those organizations that receive public funds, formed from the honest people. "In the inefficient use of funds are sometimes guilty of power, said Phillip. For example, last year the state gave money to banks at 18% per annum in a falling economy. Of course, bankers invested in the currency. As a result, by December 31, they returned to the State the money with interest. But "if the state is expected to three months in industry made them 18% per annum of the loan, it is naive, if not foolish," said the representative of the Accounting Chamber.The financial and economic crisis began because of the lack of intelligence "for managers, says Philip. "Finance is a lack of intelligence led to the fact that the animation, that is, multiply the financial resources of the real economy has moved into a virtual ... This" bubble "led to a whole system of settlement in the world. In doing so, organized this "bubble" people suffering from apparent lack of education, "- explains the official."And, of course, there is a moral and ethical question: what leads to the concentration itself, to its profitability in its success, which can sacrifice the other. In fact, in recent years won perspective on things: if someone has been loss, he luzer and it should not look with regret and a desire to help, but laugh at him and drown, "- said Philip.The crisis will last a long time, I'm sure hegumen. If the Great Depression formally lasted four years and then another ten years, the economy could not recover, but now "it is much worse." "The world is now - a global economic system. Collapsed not only the States, they have to catch away all, and vyplyvat have all along."To overcome the crisis, the world must change the economic growth model: replace virtual real money. Thought to be Russia and shows hegumen. Country to profit from the crisis of high oil, but has done nothing to make it cost 150 dollars a barrel. "What we have to consume several times more oil? No. We have become less produce? None. Nothing in the technology has not changed. Pure speculation and virtualization product", - underlines Philippe.At the same time pray for overcoming the crisis should not be, I'm sure hegumen. "God himself knows what is useful to man, - he explains. - So, I think: God always gives something and then that and when you need it. God must first of all praise and thanks."According to the priest, the crisis - it is not God's punishment. "If the company clear out garbage, it's not punishment, but blessing ... What is the penalty if we cleanse the economy from speculators, we just save your money," - explains Philippe.Relationships in the financial and economic sphere should not govern the submission of conscience and not the divine commandments and the law, I'm sure hegumen Philip. "Conscience - a very good notion of where we are in the walls of the church. But when it comes to economic activities, the conscience is just one: the law must comply. And no grudge against the state when it sends you to a tax inspection, after which you put, "- he adds."The market - it is not when everyone is doing what he wants, topit others, and himself, it is desirable privorovyvaya budget, well-lived on Канарах or elsewhere. Zapadnaya practice shows us: the market - this is especially tough law enforcement," -- indicates hegumen."Act of God concerns you. It is not the economic sphere. There is a Protestant view that, together with the physical laws God gave man economic laws. But I would be here introduced a small correction ... Talking about the absolute objectivity of economic laws, we can not" - said Philip.Igumen Philip described how he managed to simultaneously be a monk, and a government official. "In 1992, when I worked in the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations, I took monastic vows. My secular leadership looked at it through my fingers, and the hierarchy has come to the conclusion that I do not completely sever those ties that have taken place at that time. .. Then the work is transformed into the financial market, then in power, "- he recalls.Talking about what career success - secular or spiritual - hegumen not taken: "If you think in secular terms, the success - a dynamic career, awards ... But what does success in the spiritual realm? .. Sometimes people life Hieromonk lived simply, and then to his grave not overgrow popular trail. That, and I think that is success. "The task of a monk - to save his own soul. "But if God has sent you a gift ... to the extent of its spiritual strength and knowledge, you can try to save people and around" - believed Philip. In order to achieve a monastic humility, "not necessarily dig the garden spade," he says, "to be a monk, do not necessarily live in the monastery." When busy schedule, even a monk in the public service is not diverted to the "extra" things, explains Philip.Church officials have always belonged to the secular work of Philip positively. My diocesan Bishop blesses me to do so, the late Patriarch Alexy II looked at the case as a favor, "- says a priest. - How would it look Patriarch Cyril, I just do not know, because on this issue, we are not talking" .Colleagues of the Accounting Chamber belong to the monks in their ranks with respect. "We do not register the account on my serve," - said Philip. "The Public Service Act requires that: the state should not be a religious sermon. But if someone raises questions, you can always find time to respond to them," - notes hegumen.Problems with the "corporative" and other mandatory events at Phillip also does not arise. "Glory to God in government is not an idiotic psychological training, according to which it is believed that the forced departures of nature, you can create a team - he said." - After all, the team created during the joint work. You can walk well together on the nature and then you find out that a person with whom you are walking, the complete idiot and his work can not rely. "
