Foreign Investment: Follow the money to Russia

Posted April 4, 2008

“Russia is a developing economy building airports, rail lines and other vital infrastructure. In contrast, the United States relies heavily on cash-strapped consumers to squeeze growth from its service-dominated economy. Without real assets and increased production from those assets, U.S. growth potential can’t compare to Russia’s.” — Andrew Mickey

Baltimore – (TFN): Right now, few economies are attracting more investment capital than Russia. As you can see from this chart, that investment is only continuing to grow… and it’s paying off in a big way.

Since 2001, Russia’s GDP has grown at about 6% per year — and that growth shows no signs of slowing down. Construction spending rose at a 23.5% rate in 2007. Manufacturing output rose at a 10% clip. Russia’s federal budget surplus reached 7.1% of GDP.
