10. 10 2.2 INVESTMENT GROWTH FOREIGN INVESTORS PLAN TO INCREASE THEIR EXPOSURE TO RUSSIA, BUT IT DEPENDS ON A NUMBER OF FACTORS What factors would lead you to increase your exposure to Russia? Progress on reforms Resolution of YUKOS situation Rise in oil prices Better corporate governance More IPOs Government on side of minor investors 36% 21% 14% 11% 9% Source: Ansdell Report 2004

11. 11 You might see a shift from export-oriented sectors to more domestic sectors. Russian export sectors will probably be hurt by the currency trend, whilst domestic stocks will benefit from the fact that high oil prices are making Russian people richer which means they have more money to spend on consumer goods. The reliance on oil has over-loaded the Russian economy in some respects. I do think we will see the Russian government make efforts to move the economy away from the oil & gas sectors to other sectors in the future. Buy-side analyst We would like to see a signal from local consumers in Russia that they are buying more consumer goods. Most of the listed companies in Russia are oil and telecoms companies. I would increase my exposure if there was an offering from other sectors such as the foods/consumer goods sector.
