The Russian Direct Investments Fund, or RDIF, will soon launch a program for investing in the development of commercial property in Moscow and the regions, the fund's head Kirill Dmitriyev said Wednesday.
Speaking at the Second International Forum for Foreign Investments in Moscow Dmitriyev told the forum that the program being launched by RDIF together with a major sovereign fund will result in the creation of new jobs thanks to investment in the construction of new commercial facilities, Interfax said.
Dmitriyev also noted that the RDIF will only invite leading international investors and developers to participate in the program in order to guarantee efficiency and quality of the projects.
Most of the investment will go toward the creation of new commercial centers in the regions, he added.
Dmitriyev did not specify with which sovereign fund RDIF would partner. That information would be announced later, he said.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
