2007: Is it time to tell more stories?

В.Путин призвал обеспечить привлекательный имидж России

Президент отметил, что успехи отечественной экономики и общее улучшение инвестиционного климата РФ открывают новые перспективы для инвестиций в стране.

"Об этих возможностях нужно системно и последовательно информировать потенциальных инвесторов: российских и зарубежных", - заявил Владимир Путин.

РФ заняла 58-е место в рейтинге конкурентоспособности

…слабыми сторонами России на фоне сопоставимых стран являются низкая конкурентоспособность российских компаний и неспособность экономики "впитывать" современные технологии из различных источников, включая прямые иностранные

инвестиции. (Всемирный экономический форум (ВЭФ) - доклад, в котором приводится рейтинг

конкурентоспособности стран за 2007-2008 годы.)

2008: It is time to tell more stories!
