MOSCOW, August 6 (RIA Novosti) - In 2006, the supreme authorities will hold government officials accountable for what they really do to raise the living standards, develop business and improve the country's economy, Vedomosti writes.
The work of ten ministries (excluding the five subordinated to the president) is to be assessed by 58 factors, including life expectancy, per capita GDP, the share of innovations in industrial exports. Funding will depend on the goals achieved.
The presidential administration has no doubts that Vladimir Putin will support the initiative, put forward by a committee chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Zhukov, which is to define which quantitative criteria federal ministries are to use in their reports.
