The investors do not believe in the Russian economy and withdraw money. The illusions regarding the normalization of relationships between Russia and the West finally dispelled.

For the last four months, the foreign investments in Russian assets decreased by $1.6 billion. It is the record capital outflow for the last three years and a half, Commersant reports quoting the data of Emerging Portfolio Fund Research (EPFR), Correspondent reports.

According to the edition’s estimates, based on Renaissance Capital data, more than $83 mln were withdrawn from the funds, oriented on the Russian market, for one week from 22 to 28 June.

The current outflow is explained by the range of reasons, primarily internal risks, leading to the worsening of the investment climate. They include the disappointed expectations of approximation with U.S.  under the new president Donald Trump, the escalation of conflict between Rosneft and System JSFC as well as oil price decline.  

“The illusions regarding the normalization of relationships between Russia and the West finally dispelled.
