Invest in Russia or not?

Russia-IC

According to the Maplecroft research, Russia has climbed five positions in the ranking of the most risky countries for the investment. In this rating list Russia stands among countries that suffer from armed conflict, but this fact doesn’t affect much the income of investors.

According to Political Risk Atlas of British consulting company Maplecroft, endemic corruption on all government levels, the absence of independent judiciary and business rules, an increased risk of expropriation, non-effective business management and unreliable law enforcement make Russia on of ten most risky countries for the investors. For the last year Russia has climebed five points and figures in top ten of 196 risky-investment countries in the rating. It’s important to note, that Russia made such a worrying jerk at the same time having some obligations to fight against terrorism on its territory, as opposed to the other countries in the list. In the rating list of countries with high risk for the investment, Russia stands near Zimbabwe and North Korea.
