OREANDA-NEWS The Russian government is recording a slight slowdown in investment after growth of more than 10% in the first half of the year, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said at a meeting on economic issues.
"According to Rosstat, investments increased by more than 10% in the first half of the year. At the same time, we are now seeing a slight decrease in activity in this part. But, first of all, because deposits are more profitable than investments today and, unfortunately, the cost of debt lending is high," Mishustin said.
He stressed that it is important to continue working on further sustainable economic growth. According to him, national projects have been formed for these purposes, which are aimed at developing key areas of the economy and the social sphere.
According to Rosstat, investments in fixed assets in Russia increased by 10.9% in the first half of the year. The Ministry of Economic Development expects an increase in the indicator in 2024 at the level of 7.8%.
