Foreign Exchange Market.

The participants in the Russian foreign exchange market demonstrated became less active in the beginning of the month after the US dollar lost considerably against the Russian ruble in the very beginning of September 2005. Such situation reflected stabilization of the US dollar exchange rate which stopped losing against the basic world currencies in the world market. The US dollar was supported by a weakened agiotage regarding the damages caused by Hurricane Katrina, which were found to be dramatic but not catastrophic for the United States. A statement of the Head of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, А. Moscou, in which he gave his voice for further tightening of the monetary policy by increasing the basic interest rate, became another factor that supported the US dollar. Besides, the downfall of world oil prices also encouraged the US dollar exchange rate to gain in the world market.

The USD exchange rate demonstrated a mixed trend in the foreign exchange market in midSeptember. The internal exchange rate reflected an element of uncertainty in the world market where investors were expecting the US Federal Reserve System to take a decision on another increase in the discount rate. On the contrary, the expected statistics on the growing US trade balance deficit restricted the upward trend for the US dollar. Some foreign exchange deficit which occurred upon a large-scale disposal of export earnings and was observed earlier should be noted among the internal factors making the US dollar gain against the Russian ruble.

The US dollar started to gain versus the Russian ruble since mid-September. Post election political uncertainty in Germany resulted in a certain decline in the Euro exchange rate in the world market, which affected automatically the internal RUR exchange rate against both the US dollar and the Euro.

Polevoi Investment in the real sector of the economy In the first six months of 2005, the increase in investments in fixed assets made 9.4 per cent as compared with 12.6 per cent registered in the respective period of the preceding year. At the background of an intensive growth in the amounts of gross national savings, the share of investment in fixed assets made 14.1 per cent of GDP in the first six months of 2005.

Slowing rates of growth in investment in fixed assets has been a major problem of the Russian economy. In the first six months of 2005, the increase in the investment in fixed assets made 9.4 per cent as compared with 12.6 per cent registered in the respective period of the preceding year. At the background of an intensive growth in the amounts of gross national savings, the share of investment in fixed assets made 14.1 per cent of GDP in the first six months of 2005.

This year, changes in the structure of investments across sources of financing occurred at the background of growing share of borrowing, which made 52.8 per cent as compared with 51.4 per cent registered in the respective period of the preceding year. However, it should be noted that this year by the end of the first half year of 2005 there was registered a decline in the share of banks in the crediting of the investment process to 6.0 per cent as compared with 7.3 per cent share observed last year. At the same time, at the background of moderate activities carried out by the banking sector there persisted the trend towards the enhancement of the role played by insurance and investment companies, industrial and trading enterprises, as well as foreign capital in financing of investment activities. The share of borrowings made by Russian organizations increased by 3.7 points in comparison with the figures registered in the first six months of 2004.

On the whole, by the end of the first six months of this year, foreign investments accounted for 7.0 per cent of the total amount of investment in fixed assets as compared with 4.5 per cent observed in the respective period of 2004. No doubt that the complicated situation in the business circles and lack of confidence in Russian institutions and protection of ownership rights increases risks encountered by foreign banks in relation to provision of credits. However, at the background of stable growth in revenues generated by export of oil and natural gas, as well as granting of the investment grade ranking to Russia, the maintenance of high rates of investment is seen by the international banking businesses as sufficiently justified in terms of geographical diversification of their operations. By the end of July of 2005, the amount of accumulated foreign capital made US $ 90.8 billion. Although in the first six months of 2005 the Russian economy received by 2.4 per cent less of foreign investment than in the respective period of the preceding year, foreign direct investment increased by 31.0 per cent, what reflected in the growth in their share in the total foreign investments from 18.0 per cent to 27.3 per cent. The trend towards an increase in foreign direct investments reflects the reaction of foreign investors to improving components of the investment climate in Russia and the reforms carried out in the country.

A detailed analysis of investment across types of economic activities appears to be of principal importance. Basing on the data accumulated by the end of the first half year of 2005, the dominating portion of investments in industry was made in extracting industries (17.5 per cent). In comparison with the figures registered in the preceding year, the share of investments made in extraction of fuel and energy resources declined by 2.2 p. p., what was determined by the consequences of a sharp decrease in investment activities observed over 2004. In the beginning of this year, investment in oil extraction grew almost by one third in comparison with the figures registered in the 1st quarter of 2004; however, these developments were not sufficient to overcome the negative consequences of low rates of prospect drilling observed last year and increase the rates of oil extraction. By the end of the first six months of 2005, investments in extraction of fuel and energy resources declined by 6.3 per cent in comparison with the figures registered in the respective period of the preceding year.

In the first six months of 2005, the increase in investment in manufacturing industries made 12.per cent in comparison with the figures observed in the respective period of 2004. The shifts in the structure of investments across processing industries were determined by growing investment activity in metallurgy, chemistry, and production of food products. According to the data presented by the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, the increase in investment in metallurgy made 36.2 per cent, while investments in textile and clothing manufacturing grew by 44.4 per cent, investments in production of foods increased by 18.7 per cent, and investment in construction and trade grew by 38.per cent and 24.4 per cent respectively.
