The Russian Minister of Economic Development, Maxim Re\u0219etnikov, acknowledges that investments in the Russian economy are affected by the lack of business confidence and increasing economic difficulties.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Although Vladimir Putin has asked the authorities to launch a new investment cycle, the minister could not say when investments will start to increase again. He cited the “complicated” situation of the state budget, high interest rates, and the lack of available capital in banks.<\/p>\n\n

\n

“Investments largely depend on trust and mood… and the business environment forgets nothing”<\/em>, declared Re\u0219etnikov, quoted by Interfax.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Investments in fixed assets have been declining since the middle of last year. In 2025, they decreased by 2.3%, and in the first quarter of this year, the decline intensified to 14.3%.<\/p>\n\n

Surveys among companies indicate that the willingness to invest has reached the lowest level in recent years. Over half of the firms have stated that they are not currently implementing investment projects, and more than a quarter do not intend to invest even in the next one to two years.<\/p>\n\n
