Russian Investments Doing Well
The Russia economy is growing and this is one of the biggest news stories considering the current economic climate in which we find ourselves. There are many who are convinced that the global recession is worse than the Great Depression and that this could go on for years to come. This is all speculation though and no-one seems to be sure, but it worries stock market beginners. What is certain though is that times are very tough indeed.
The year of 1989 marked the fall of the Berlin Wall and for many this was the first peak that they got inside of Russia. Up to then they were largely unaware of the country's history and culture and it seemed as if a whole new market had opened up.
This change meant that the country was suddenly thrown into the international economy and at first it must be said that it did not do too well at all. While this was of course a failing for the country itself, it was also a poor reflection on the western economists that had provided advice to the Russian government. Hindsight suggested that Russia should have taken the same path as China.
But this is not the case any more with Russia as the country is one of the few that seems to actually be experiencing growth in the middle of this economic maelstrom. This is indeed incredible and speaks to the fact that the government is working to ensure that there is greater economic diversification.
The government wants to ensure that the success of the whole economy is not just bound to one economic activity. So they will work to ensure that the country of Russia can rely on activities such as services going forward. This is a strategy that many other countries have used successfully in the past.
If they are going to continue with this type of policy then one would expect that the situation where the Russia economy is growing is not going to change.
