Basic views
Nikolai Arefiev came up with several initiatives. One of them was the liquidation of the independent Central Bank and the revival of the State Bank of Russia. He worked on the project together with Sergei Glazyev. In 2000, he withdrew his draft because the proposals were included in the president's broader draft:
- change the civil status of the Bank of Russia;
- to rename the gold and foreign exchange reserves of the Central Bank to the reserves of Russia;
- deprive the Central Bank of approving banking audit standards.
The plan was to ensure that the conditions of pension and health insurance for employees of the QL were equal to those that exist for civil servants.
According to colleagues, Arefiev is distinguished by the peculiarity of being partial to state affairs. At all levels, he defended the position of democracy, democracy and collective problem solving. In 1994, he headed the development of regulations on a new body of representative power. They became the law of the Astrakhan region.
In carrying out his professional activities, the politician took an active part in the development of the law on privatization.

This became a preventive measure to prevent violations of the law in the privatization process. During his work N. V. Arefiev introduced more than 130 amendments and bills to various Federal Laws.
Arefiev on the situation today
He took an active part in the development of an action plan related to anti-Russian sanctions. In 2015, he emphasized the need to develop production and agriculture. The politician stressed that there is no need to transport tomatoes and cucumbers from Turkey, since they grow well in the country. At the same time, the idea was born to make an All-Union vegetable garden from Astrakhan in order to feed everyone with vegetables. In February 2018, the politician made a statement that over the three years of the food embargo, the country's agrarians had established the production of domestic food products. Gardens were laid, greenhouses were rebuilt. Against this background, it was proposed to arrange "import substitution" in the segment of retail chains.
The deputy also says that the state regulation of prices was also mandatory at that time. He notes that investment in industry has declined in recent years. This is due to the reluctance to raise the key rate to the previous level for fear of speculation. To prevent this, a plan was proposed according to which oil and gas companies should submit all proceeds in foreign currency to the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.
In October 2018, Nikolai Arefiev made an appeal regarding the allocation of 13 trillion rubles for 13 nat. projects for the implementation of the May presidential decrees. He noted that there is no such amount, since the budget was increased by 1, 4 trillion rubles. Arefyev called this approach a "tactical trick", when the usual budget line was renamed "national projects". In practice, the budget will not receive a substantial premium.
Nikolai Vasilyevich believes that it is necessary to limit the access of foreign corporations to the Russian market by tightening the registration system. The conditions must be such as to fully comply with Russian requirements and bring more benefits to our country. Today, almost all retail chains are owned by the Netherlands, Holland or France. Russian trade is represented only by scattered outlets and small businesses.
