Putin Formally Reappoints Technocrat Mishustin As PM

RUSSIA
EM BulletHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical Market NewsPolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletBulletEmerging Market News

Russian President Vladimir Putin has formally reappointed incumbent Mikhail Mishustin to the office of prime minsiter following his approval in a parliamentary vote. Earlier today, Putin submitted his recommendation that Mishustin remain in the role, with the vote a rubber-stamp procedure in the Putin-dominated legislature. Mishustin is viewed as a low-key yet senior figure within the 'technocratic camp' of Kremlin figures. As the FT reports, "The technocratic camp in government, though traditionally seen as more western-oriented, has managed to successfully steer the country’s economy through the first two years of war, maintaining stability despite international sanctions isolating Russia."

  • As is custom, the entire gov't resigned prior to Putin's inauguration for another term in office. Little shuffling is expected, with other senior figures including Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov - in office for nearly 11 and over 20 years respectively - set to remain in office.
  • Maintaining a largely-unchanged Cabinet will be seen as an attempt to show stability in the gov't and Putin's support for his ministers.
