   Hello..   
      
      
   About Foreign investment in Russia:   
      
   FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) flows into Russia have been on the   
   decline since 2013..   
      
   The share of FDI in the GDP remains relatively low in view of the   
   country's growth and economic potential, and working capital investments   
   represent a large share of overall FDI. In recent years, Russia has   
   undertaken economic reforms, but administrative problems, corruption and   
   uncertainties about regional stability have remained major challenges.   
      
   Weak Points:   
      
   Russia has an investment climate that is complicated to control and   
   generally unstable. Disadvantages for FDI in Russia include:   
      
   Russia ranks 35th in countries where it is easy to do business according   
   to the World Bank (Doing Business 2018).   
   The Russian economy remains extremely dependent on the prices of   
   hydrocarbons and raw materials as well as on imports of capital goods   
   and foreign technology.   
      
   Business confidence in the country's legal system remains weak   
   Accounting rules and legislation are complicated and sometimes contradictory   
      
   Intellectual property infringement is a real source of concern   
   Many sectors considered strategic are closed to foreign investments.   
   Geopolitical tensions: the economic sanctions on the part of the United   
   States and the EU have multiplied, which seriously complicates the   
   pursuit of business and increases its costs.
