IMF-France: Selected Issues paper
July 3, 2014--THE DRIVERS OF BUSINESS INVESTMENT IN FRANCE: REASONS FOR RECENT WEAKNESS
Introduction
1. While the resilience in private consumption has supported domestic spending in France during the crisis, business investment remains a substantial drag on growth.
In 2013, private consumption was 2.5 percent higher than its pre-crisis level whereas business investment was still 9 percent lower than its pre-crisis peak.
2.This paper reviews business investment patterns in France during the crisis. The main motivation is to explore whether investment has recently evolved in line with established determinants or displayed somewhat unconventional dynamics. We address three distinct questions.
First, has recent investment behavior essentially been consistent with past trends or is there any discernible structural break as a result of the crisis? Second, what drove the contraction in investment during the crisis? Third, what is the investment outlook and can we expect a swift and
strong rebound going forward?

IMF-Russian Federation: Selected Issues
July 1, 2014--Summary: Russia's trend growth is volatile. The transition from a centrally planned to a market economy started in 1991, hence time series are relatively short compared to other countries.
The size and depth of structural reforms during the 1990's, the financial crisis and default in 1998, followed by the oil boom in the 2000's, and subsequent GFC, make identification of a stable "long run" growth trend a very hard task. Hence, it is complicated to pin down an accurate estimate of potential growth and the output gap.
