Of late, the leading developing countries have steadily occupied the top three posi-tions among the world net capital exporters. Their financial resources are actively exported both by the states, by placing international reserves in foreign assets, and by the corporate sector, including in the form of direct investments in foreign en-terprises and projects.

At the same time, in the context of increasing global competition for promising in-dustrial assets, a growing number of developing countries are beginning to provide state support through sovereign investment funds, partly replenished by excess budgetary revenues from exports and partly by foreign exchange reserves.

This considered, the push for the increase in the efficiency of public and private in-vestments abroad, and their use in the top priority areas of national economy are put on the agenda in Russia.
