Investment plays an important role in the economy.In an effort to attract the maximum amount of money the government creates the conditions for the deposit, provided the safety of the capital, profit opportunities are presented to the financial growth.If in the past, in the pre-revolutionary period in the life of our state, business and production is quite high, and foreign investment in Russia is an impressive volume, today, despite the apparent economic growth, the share of revenue from abroad is not large enough.
Foreign investments - investments in the industry is the other country for profit.They can be presented in any form of financial, material, intellectual or information.Despite the fact that today foreign investment in Russia account for only a small percentage of the GDP, their role in economic development is more important than the internal financing.First of all because, together with the capital of foreign corporations, the state receives not only modern production techniques, but qualified administrative personnel who bring new methods of management and marketing.
At present, foreign investment in Russia represented investors in countries such as:
• Cyprus - 21%;
• Netherlands - 20%;
• Luxembourg - 18%;
• United Kingdom - 8%;
• GDR - 7%;
• US - 4%;
• Ireland - 2.4%;
• France - 2.4%;
• Switzerland - 2%;
• Other countries - 15.2%.
Thus the vast majority of investment funds - a previously exported from the Russian capital, that is, in fact - is domestic finance, perpetrate such an intricate way.A large share of direct investment goes to the four main regions: Moscow and St. Petersburg, including the regional territory.The rest of the portfolio foreign investments deposited in Sakhalin and Arkhangelsk.Most often, foreign businessmen invested in the mining industry, betting on oil and gas.
According to Rosstat, in the past 2012 in the Russian economy has been invested by foreign companies 115 billion dollars, which is less than in 2011 by 15%.The outflow of Russian capital for the year 2012 more than 34 billion dollars, more than 32 billion. 2011.The trend is obvious.Experts predict that in 2013, foreign support for the Russian economy will also decrease.The forecast of Rosstat specialists explain entry into the WTO, which has led to an increase in import volume.The only obstacle to the entry of foreign capital into Russia - an existing investment climate.In the world rankings we occupy a space 120.Today, foreign investment in Russia has not play any role in a large-scale development of the economy, sincetheir share is too small.While the main object of expenditure of the state budget is related to the anti-corruption activities, which naturally puts us unreliable partner for business, the situation will not change.
