Russia loses investment appeal, as global investors are losing faith in emerging economies.

      Russia has finished the last but one country in the survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit.

      It polled 730 executives worldwide on their geographic preferences on asset price growth.

      ‘Only 22% of respondents this year were unreservedly bullish on emerging market assets, down from 27% in 2012. Today, investors in emerging markets not only have to think about overheating but also about sluggish growth, as is the case in Brazil, Russia and India. The need to differentiate carefully between markets is more pressing than ever’, the report says.
