> Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said the economy’s key structural change is the growing use of domestic financing for investment in place of external funding. Intellectual assets now account for 7% of investment, public investment for 15.4%, and the five largest state-owned companies for more than 15% of total investment. Work has begun on a new investment cycle.
