According to Bloomberg, in Russia it is possible to talk about the impending economic recovery. This is evidenced by such iconic figures as growth in electricity demand or increase the volume of rail and container traffic.
“This is a rather objective factors that may be indicators of positive processes in the economy. The growth of energy demand is clearly increasing production capacity and traffic volumes are increasing in a situation when there is a sense of stability and faith that everything will be at least good.
And it is obvious even with a narrow-minded point of view: a growing number of retail outlets, a growing number of service businesses,” commented BAFS “the Economy today” Boris Brewer, senior lecturer of the Department of Economics, faculty of economic and social Sciences of Ranepa.
In his opinion, at present, investors are paying close attention to the developing countries as a global trend makes them more attractive for large investments than the developed regions, where not overcome the protracted period of stagnation.
“Caution in relation to Russia from the Western world has not been overcome, and sanctions has not been canceled. This, of course, quite affects the enthusiasm of investors. I think you need to clear at least part of the sanctions, and then there will be about the same as in Iran: he started to lift the sanctions and foreign investors immediately went into the country. It is necessary that the company was not afraid to receive some penalties in the country. Because there are many ways to provide the business, how not to behave.
In addition, in order to further stimulate the Russian economy, it is necessary that the country showed stable growth rates. In any case, for the emergence of sustained interest takes time, roughly a year or so when investors will look closely and make sure everything is really stable and there are no disasters.
Foreign investors are ready to enter the game
With regard to global trends, here make generalizations difficult. However, we can say that China’s investment is slowing down, Europe has also become much less interesting to invest, especially after the UK. But let’s say Brazil is recovering in many respects, but also falls on other indicators.
Argentina is interesting from the point of view of agriculture and some sectors of the mining industry. India is actively developing, there’s a lot of attractive investment projects. In General, investors are ready to respond to opportunities that offer developing countries, especially given the questionable economic situation of the developed countries.
