Among the economic policies implemented by the Russian government to encourage foreign investment include the creation of the Russian DirectInvestmentFund (RDIF).
This certified "terror-free" mutual fund is also reportedly available for directinvestment through E-Trade, Ameritrade, Schwab and many other investment firms.
India is financing its current-account deficit with volatile foreign fund inflows into the capital markets rather than foreign directinvestment, which is a matter of concern, Mr. Subbarao said at an event in Mumbai.
