Moscow Among Europe’s Top 5 Investor Destinations

The Russian capital has climbed above Helsinki, Warsaw, Berlin and Stockholm to rank fifth among Europe’s most attractive cities for foreign investment, RT reported. The 2018/2019 ranking was compiled by Foreign Direct Investment Intelligence (a division of the Financial Times). It assessed 301 European cities and 150 regions. London has maintained its leading position in the rating, but experts said that could soon change because of Brexit. Dublin has taken second place, and was followed by Paris, Amsterdam and Munich. The top 10 business-friendly cities also included Frankfurt, Zurich, Cambridge and Helsinki. “Russia’s capital has improved its performance in the prestigious rating of attractive cities for investment in Europe. This year Moscow is among the top five most interesting cities of the continent for making investments, and it has taken the first spot in the rating of Eastern European cities,” said the head of Moscow’s Department for Economic Policy and Development, Vladimir Yefimov.
