An Analysis of the Russian Industry: Investment Prospects for Its Development
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
The article analyzes the state of Russian industry in the period 2014–2024 in order to identify prospects for investment in its development. Amidst geopolitical tension and sanctions pressure, high-tech industries are considered a backbone factor in ensuring technological sovereignty and national security. The study analyzes the dynamics of key indicators in manufacturing industries (metallurgy, mechanical engineering, electronic and optical industries), including changes in the number of enterprises, the volume of shipped goods, and the production index. Particular attention is paid to the constraining factors of investment activity. It is established that, despite the nominal growth in shipment volumes and an increase in the production index in recent years, the key barriers to technological renewal are tight monetary policy (high key interest rate), progressive depreciation of fixed assets amid chronic underinvestment, a personnel shortage, and low innovation activity in most sectors. The paper substantiates the need for a selective approach to forming an investment portfolio. It concludes that in-depth pre-investment analysis is critically important for the effective allocation of limited resources in the current conditions. This analysis must include an assessment of real (non-inflationary) growth potential, technological level, staffing, and project resilience to macroeconomic volatility.

Keywords:
Russian industry development, manufacturing industries, investments, sanctions pressure, equipment depreciation, innovation activity, macroeconomic factors.
