Russian capital investment growth stalls amid economic pressures
Russia's capital investments declined 2.3% annually in 2025, contradicting earlier Rosstat data showing 0.5% growth through September. The discrepancy suggests deteriorating investment conditions in late 2025, likely reflecting sanctions impact, capital flight concerns, and elevated macroeconomic uncertainty. This metric is a key indicator of productive capacity and business confidence in the Russian economy.
