ЭКОНОМИКО-ПОЛИТИЧЕСКАЯ СИТУАЦИЯ В РОССИИ ЭКОНОМИКО-ПОЛИТИЧЕСКАЯ СИТУАЦИЯ В РОССИИ RUSSIAN ECONOMY: TRENDS AND PERSPECTIVES FOREIGN INVESTMENTS E.Ilukhina 2008 was characterized by the decrease in the inflow of the foreign investments in the Russian economy against the background of the increase in the capital outflow. Foreign investments are still concentrated in the industry and sphere of trade, though the latter is losing its attractiveness gradually. As to the industry, the foreign investors were mainly interested in processing industries. As to the geographic structure of the investments the biggest amount of the investments in the Russian Federation was directed from the Cyprus, the UK and the Netherlands, whose share account for nearly one half of the foreign investments in the Russian economy.
In 2008 the total of USD 103.8 billion of foreign investments was received by the Russian economy, which is 14.2% below the corresponding fi gure of 2007. In terms of the percentage of the GDP the level of the foreign investments inflow reduced from 9.3% in 2007 to 6.2% in 2008.

The proportion of trade credits in the structure of other investments went up from 15.8% in 2007 to 21.5% in 2008.
As a result of 2008 the volume of the direct investments in the Russian economy has slightly lowered (by 2.8%) as compared with 2007. The decrease was due to the component of credits received from the foreign co-owners of organizations that reduced by 16.3% over the period under consideration. In contrast, the payments to the authorized capital stock went up by 7.4% up to USD 15.9 billion. Thus, the proportion of credits received from the foreign co-owners of the companies in the structure of direct foreign investments in the Russian federation reduced from 42.0% in 2007 to 36.2% in 2007, whereas the share of the payments to the authorized capital stock went up from 53.2% to 58.8%.
It was in the segment of portfolio investments where the most considerable relative decrease (of 66.3%) was observed, the majority of which are accounted for by the investments in shares and stocks.
As compared with the previous year, in 2008 the structure of foreign investments in the Russian economy was subject to some.

In 2008 the volume Source: Federal State Statistics Service of withdrawn capital Fig. 1 Structure of Foreign Investments in Russian economy in 1996Ц2008, as in the form of profit percentage of foreign investors transferred abroad as well as in the form of payments of interest for the use of credits and credits repayments made USD 67.95 billion, exceeding by 16.3% the figure of 2007. On the whole over 65.5% of the foreign investments received was withdrawn (48.3% in 2007).
The same as in the previous year, the highest concentration of investments in trade and industry sustained. It should be noted that as a result of 2008 the foreign investments in industry did not change considerably as compared with 2007, and the investments in trade reduced by half. A considerable reduction in the investments in trade resulted in the decrease in its proportion in the structure of foreign investments as broken by branches of industry when compared with the previous year. The distribution of foreign investments by main branches of Russian economy is represented in table 2.
The analysis of quarter-by-quarter dynamics of the foreign investments in industry testifies that the foreign investments were observed to decrease throughout the whole 2008as compared with the corresponding periods of 2007 excluding the third quarter when the growth of 58.7% was registered, which allowed the annual figures to approximate the level of 2007. Quarter by quarter foreign investments in the sphere of trade throughout the whole 2008 remained below the corresponding figures of 2007.

Foreign investments in processing industries went up by 6.2% (in 2007 the growth of investments in processing industries made 2.1 times). As to processing industry, the investments in foodstuffs production increased by 36.7%, in chemistry industry - by 53.8%, reaching the figure of USD 4.0 billion and USD 2.5 billion, correspondingly. Foreign investments in metallurgy decreased by 4.88% in 2008 as compared with the preceding year and made USD 14.5 billion.
Quarter by quarter statistics of the foreign investments in minerals extraction and processing industries demonstrates that the latter is becoming more and more attractive.
It should be noted that quarter-by-quarter dynamics of the foreign investments in different branches of industry in 2008 as compared with the corresponding periods of 2007 were of diverse character.

The reduction of the foreign investments in chemistry industry was observed in the 1st and the 4th quarters (by 10.3% and 33.0%), and in the 2nd and 4th quarter they increased by 3 and 2.1 times. The interest of foreign investors in fossil fuels production increased in the second half of 2008, the increase in foreign investments in this branch being equal to 31.8% and 98.5% in the 3rd and the 4th quarters (in the 1st and the 2nd quarters the reduction of 79.0% and 48.1% observed). Such diversification was reflected in the changes in the quarter-by-quarter structure of foreign investments by branches of industry throughout 2008.
The proportion of direct investments in the industry decreased from 36.3% in 2007 to 26.6% in 2008, the share of other investments increasing from 57.3% to 71.1% over the same period.
The changes were also observed in the structure of foreign investments by kinds of economic activities in the industry. In the sphere of minerals extraction the direct investments reduced by 2.8 times down to USD 4.98 billion, which resulted in the contraction of 5,1% 19,8% 8,0% 29,2% 37,9% 3,3% IV quarter 30,4% 9,6% 22,0% 34,7% 4,2% III quarter 15,1% 37,6% 32,6% 10,4% 8,6% II quarter 2008 4,9% 16,1% 30,4% 40,0% 3,8% I quarter 20,4% 20,4% 49,8% 5,6% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Fossil fuels extraction Foodstuffs production Metallurgy Chemistry industry Others Source: Federal State Statistics Service Fig. 5 Structure of Foreign Investments in Industry As Broken by Branches in USD mln I quarter I quarter I quarter I quarter II quarter II quarter II quarter II quarter III quarter III quarter III quarter III quarter IV quarter IV quarter IV quarter IV quarter ЭКОНОМИКО-ПОЛИТИЧЕСКАЯ СИТУАЦИЯ В РОССИИ ЭКОНОМИКО-ПОЛИТИЧЕСКАЯ СИТУАЦИЯ В РОССИИ RUSSIAN ECONOMY: TRENDS AND PERSPECTIVES their proportion in the total investments in this sphere from 80.1% to 40.2%. The share of other investments in extractive industries grew by 2.1 times up to USD 7.3 billion. As a result their share in the total investments in the branch of industry increased from 19.8% up to 59.0%.
In 2008 the biggest part of foreign investments in the processing industry was accounted for by other investments as well, which went up by 10.5% versus 2007 up to USD 27.8 billion, reaching the figure of 81.9% in the resulting figure for the investments in processing industry. The direct foreign investments in processing industries went up by 44.3% to USD 5.9 billion, their proportion increasing from 12.8% to 17.5%.
As a result of 2008 the biggest amount of the investments (USD 19.9 billion, 19.1% of the total volume of foreign investments received by the Russian economy over the period mentioned) was directed from the Cyprus, USD 14.9 billion (14.4%) was received from the UK and USD 14.5 billion (14.0%) - from the Netherlands.
