As you know, investment is a separate economic category, focused on the expansion of production. It is worth noting that they are largely able to influence the macroeconomic indicators of any country, especially with forms of market management. An important aspect in the formation of the economy of any state can undoubtedly be considered investment activity, which has its own characteristics in different countries, but also a certain number of general, quite important laws.
The impact of the crisis on investment in Russia
It is no secret to anyone that the impact of the global crisis in the most unfavorable way on investment projects in our country, both at the micro level and on a macroeconomic scale, moreover, it can be said that financing of many projects was completely frozen for some time. As an option to solve the existing problem, one can consider the possibility of changing the structure of such a global concept as the country's investment strategy. Naturally, all this should be aimed at changing the main correlation between the so-called consumption and accumulation funds on the scale of the entire national income.
An interesting fact is that, according to statistical calculations, the accumulation rate is increasing in the country, which is exactly what any investment strategy of the state is aimed at. But this view from a practical point of view is, of course, not true. The reason for this is the work of many enterprises, as they say, in the warehouse. Thus, accounted accumulation occurs. In practice, there is a decrease in consumption and production. It should be understood that more or less tangible well-being of the people can be achieved solely by increasing national income. As a result, it is necessary to ensure the growth of national income due to the phased increase in production efficiency. Thus, the basic investment strategy of Russia should be focused on enhancing the efficiency of the economy in order to increase production savings in real terms. At the same time, that accumulation fund, which is part of the total national income, should balance at the level that the economy itself can master, but with the preservation, at the same time, of the scientific and technical potential of the country's development.
Distribution of investments by industry
As an analysis of the current situation in the country shows, most of the incoming investment is oriented towards industry. At the same time, the investment strategy for some reason does not focus on the development of agriculture and the construction industry. It is clear that in the face of a decline in investment flows, the priority is the development of sectors of the economy that have maximum return on investment. It is important to remember that each of the industries, even promising in terms of capital investment, has its own sub-sectors, which, in turn, can be classified as those that may include the state investment policy , and, accordingly, unpromising in a crisis directions. For this reason, the investment strategy of Russia should not be built on the so-called industry principle, since such an approach is a mirror image of the industry economy that is not the most effective, as practice has shown. It is worth focusing on the development of market relations, developing and subsidizing private entrepreneurship, especially in the production of real material goods.
