Deteriorating political relations with the west have had little impact on bullish attitudes among corporate investors in Russia – but those not yet in the country are significantly more cautious about the country’s prospects.
A survey of 106 foreign companies investing in Russia and 51 “potential” investors this year found 82 per cent of existing investors were moderately or highly satisfied. Only 7 per cent of respondents to the survey, conducted for the Foreign Investment Advisory Council (or FIAC, a forum including senior business figures set up to foster dialogue with the government) were dissatisfied.
