1 WITH RUSSIAN DIRECT INVESTMENT FUND

2 I would like to emphasize that the long-term goals for the development of the country remain unchanged. Russia maintains macroeconomic stability, and we consider this one of our achievements. To revitalize the economy, we intend to utilize our own financial resources and channels and step up cooperation with foreign investors and banks. The work of the Russian Direct Investment Fund shows that major financial institutions have not lost confidence in Russia, with joint investment projects and platforms attracting around $15 billion. V L A D IM IR PU TIN, P R E S ID E N T OF R U S S IA

3 The main macroeconomic indicators - national debt and the budget deficit - are stable. Moreover, we have been able to maintain a very significant level of international reserves. The Russian Direct Investment Fund shares with investors not only the profits but also the risks... The majority of our foreign colleagues take a positive view on the creation of RDIF as a reliable partner, an anchor investor! D M IT R Y M ED V E D E V, P R IM E M IN IS T E R OF R U S S IA

4 Russia is the world s 6th largest economy by GDP (PPP). Foreign direct investment into Russia amounted to $94 billion in 2013 (increased by 8 3 % YOY), which places Russia 3rd in a global ranking on FDI inflow after USA and China. The Russian economy is expected to grow to $3.9 trillion in Russia has one of the largest domestic markets in the world, ranking 7th among 144 countries. Russia has one of the lowest levels of public debt of any major economy. Russia s middle class tripled in the last 5 years. GDP per capita (PPP) is the largest among BRICS countries. Nominal GDP per capita increased compared to that of the United States from 1/20 in 2000 to more than 1/4 in Low unemployment rate of 5.5%.
