Against the background of stagnation in the global capital movement, the position of the Russian Federation in this process continues to weaken. This is primarily due to the economic instability in the country, unfavorable business climate, trade and political sanctions, as well as the lack of a clear state policy to attract foreign direct investment and outward capital from Russia in order to expand international cooperation.

Key words: foreign direct investment, Russia, UN Conference on trade and development (UNCTAD), global investment movement, repatriation of capital, reinvestment of income.
