Research on the disproportion of investment activities in the regions of the country

Investments are the basis for the development of any direction and subject of the economy. In the Russian Federation, the investment climate is not the most attractive, and against the background of recent developments, the national economy, which is constantly under the yoke of foreign policy and foreign economic pressure, is losing its investment potential. The study analyzed the volume of investments in fixed assets of the Russian Federation in the context of federal districts, as well as the analysis of the inflow of foreign direct investment in the period 2016-2020. As it was established, the volume of investments in fixed assets of the subjects of the Russian Federation tended to increase. The leaders in terms of the total investment capital received during the study period were the Central Federal District, UFD and PFD. In dynamics, the best growth results belong to the Central Federal District, the Far Eastern Federal District and the North Caucasus Federal District. On a per capita basis, regions with a small population are leading in terms of investments in fixed assets. As for the inflow of foreign direct investment, the Central Federal District is the leader in absolute volume, and the UFD and Southern Federal District are the leaders in terms of growth. In general, the trends in the development of the investment climate in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are positive, but the long-term crisis, which negatively affects the formation of the investment climate within the state, requires prompt measures to form a steady inflow of investments into the country’s economy.
