Financial investments in Russia - statistics & facts
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has left financial investment prospects in Russia under great uncertainty. Numerous sanctions imposed on Russia since the beginning of 2022 played an excessively punitive role on its financial system, eventually making it one of the least attractive and high-risk destinations for financial investments. While the effect of sanctions is yet to be evaluated, it can be seen that over the past few years, financial assets’ worth in investment funds has been steadily growing and reached 5.35 trillion Russian rubles by the first quarter of 2021.
