The Russian Direct Investment Fund celebrates 10 years since its inception, Izvestia TV channel reports.
RDIF was created on the initiative of the President and the Prime Minister. Thanks to the fund, global companies came to Russia that had not worked here before. RDIF has established strategic partnerships with 30 structures from 18 countries. The fund attracted more than $ 40 billion of foreign capital to the Russian economy. The company has implemented more than 100 projects for RUB2.1 billion.
“As the head of Mumtalakat, the Kingdom of Bahrain’s sovereign wealth fund, I am very proud of our partnership with RDIF, which began in 2014 with the signing of an agreement at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum,” said Khalid Al Rumaihi, CEO of Bahrain’s investment company Mumtalakat. – Over the past years, cooperation has only strengthened. Thanks to our co-investment agreement, we have been able to invest in some of the most interesting companies in Russia, from Intergeo to Mail.ru. Therefore, it is not surprising that in 2020 Mumtalakat doubled its commitments under the automatic co-investment program, which allowed us to increase our participation in RDIF investment projects. ”
RDIF is promoting the Russian vaccine against COVID-19. Investments in Sputnik V amounted to RUB22 billion.
“RDIF has also made an invaluable contribution to improving the competitiveness and modernization of the Russian economy through direct investment within the country and tireless efforts to attract foreign capital,” said Chin Sung Ho, Chairman and CEO of the Korea Investment Company (KIC). – Over the past two years, RDIF has also invested heavily in vaccine research and trials. You have become an example for us of successfully solving new problems in difficult times. The KIC team wishes you continued growth and success on the doorstep of your next decade. We also look forward to further strengthening our partnership. “
