"A definite turnaround has emerged, especially among investors. We’re seeing interest from China and the Persian Gulf countries. They have started to carefully, cautiously probe, or even work on investments in Russia, something that wasn’t happening recently, and that’s a good sign because our market needs foreign investors, we don’t have enough of our own," he told reporters at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
