Capital investments in Russia in the next three years are expected to be below forecast values.

January 21st. /MEDIA TALK/. The Russian government has lowered its investment growth forecast for the next few years. In accordance with the unified plan for achieving the national development goals until 2030 and for the future until 2036, it is planned to increase investment volumes by 1.3% in 2025, by 2.2% in 2026 and by 2.5% in 2027.

These figures are lower than the main forecast of the Ministry of Economic Development, made in September 2024, which assumes an increase in investment by 2.1% in 2025, followed by an acceleration of this process to 3% in 2026 and 3.3% in 2027. Such calculations are provided by RBC today.

The decrease in expectations is due to the need to adapt to the current economic situation, including an increased base interest rate, which makes it difficult to access project financing, instability in international markets and sanctions, which complicate the implementation of large-scale investment projects, and limited government budget capacity to stimulate investment growth.

Earlier, we reported that China's investments in the Russian regions of the Far East could reach 1 trillion rubles in 2025.
