Foreign investment in Russia totals $50 bln so far this
year
ULYANOVSK, October 9 (RIA Novosti) - Foreign investment in the Russian
economy has totaled $50 billion so far this year, First Deputy Prime Minister
Sergei Ivanov said on Tuesday.
"In 2007, despite crises on western financial markets, capital inflow into
Russia has reached about $50 billion, while capital outflow has totaled $10
billion," Ivanov said.
Russia's economy received $55.1 billion in foreign investment in 2006, or
2.7% more than in 2005.
According to Ivanov, foreign investment has been growing steadily in the past
few years due to political stability in Russia and the improving business
environment.
