| Summary: | The 2004 Investment Policy Review of the Russian Federation evaluates the progress made since the publication of OECD's 2001 study on this topic. The report finds that Russia has made significant improvements in its business environment and has signed investment and double taxation treaties with a number of countries. Nevertheless, the Russian Federation has attracted relatively little FDI and has experienced large-scale capital flight. The report recommends further reforms that are needed. |

| Item Description: | Forewords by Donald J. Johnston and German O. Gref. Despite a wealth of investment opportunities, the Russian Federation has attracted relatively little foreign direct investment and has experienced large-scale capital flight. This phenomenon results from sectoral restrictions on foreign investment and from important institutional factors which also affect domestic businesses. Russia has made significant improvements in its business environment since the last decade, adopting laws to protect the property and other rights of investors, and establishing institutions needed for a market economy to function. Russia has also signed investment and double-taxation treaties with OECD members and other countries. |
