In 2007, foreign direct investment in Russia amounted to $52bn, or about 5% of Russia's Gross Domestic Product. Many international banks expect that figure to rise. Data from the Russian State Statistics Service showed that the country’s economy expanded at the fastest pace since 2000, with GDP growth reaching an annual 8.1%, up from 7.4% in 2006.
The outlook for 2008 is similarly favourable, as the Russian economy continues to be supported by strong oil prices. As a result, the country appears to have entered its tenth consecutive year of growth, boosted by rising incomes and higher spending. Foreign investors intrigued by the country’s growth and potential are cautiously mapping their routes as Russia and the CIS continue their evolution. Opportunity abounds in a country that Forbes recently reported has more millionaires in proportion to its gross national product than any other key economy. But so do challenges, which range from lack of transparency to macroeconomic concerns to links between government and business.
The Alternative Investments Russia + CIS 2008 has attracted institutional investors from around the world. The conference will provide the ideal occasion for kick-starting new business as specialists share their knowledge. Our event will be a great way to learn about the Russia and the CIS markets and how new investments may be added to their portfolios.
The event will provide a comprehensive insight into the trends and developments of alternative investments in Russia and the CIS. Leading experts in the field have been brought together to explore the applications for the institutional, bank, corporate and high-net-worth markets.
