The International Monetary Fund’s declaration that Russia will be one of the sources for accelerated global economic growth in 2018–2019 reflects the objective realities, and the Russian economy will be one of the most attractive for investments in coming years, Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) CEO Kirill Dmitriev told journalists.

The IMF has upgraded its estimate of Russia’s GDP in 2018. IMF Chief Economist Maurice Obstfeld, who presented the report in Davos, Switzerland, included Russia in the number of the countries that have become a ‘main source of accelerated growth in global GDP.’

‘At RDIF, we believe that the Russian economy will be one of the most attractive for investment in the coming years and are ready, together with our partners, to continue investing in promising and rapidly growing industries such as high technologies, infrastructure construction, and agriculture,’ Dmitriev said.
