Title: Foreign Investment in the Russian Economy
Abstract:  In the period from January through September 2012, the inflow of foreign investment in the Russian economy declined on the previous year by 14.4%, which happened due to a drop in the volume of ‘other’ investments, made on a refundable basis. Their share in the aggregate structure of foreign investment constituted 87.9%. The share of direct investment is estimated to be 10.7%; that of portfolio investment – 1.4%. Industry has become a more alluring target for foreign investors, followed by financial activities and trade. The volume of investment outflow from Russia over the period from January through September 2012 continued to be on the rise, amounting to 95.6% of the total volume of foreign investment inflow over the same period.
