Russian Economic Report 30: Structural Challenges to Growth Become Binding
September 25, 2013--September 25, 2013 – Slowdown in consumption, stalled investment demand, and a continuing weak external environment led to the downward revision of the World Bank's May growth projection for Russia from 2.3 percent to 1.8 percent in 2013. Despite the observed slowdown, the Russian economy is projected to accelerate to 3.1 percent growth in 2014, says the World Bank's Russian Economic Report №30 launched today in Moscow.
"The economy appears to be growing close to its capacity, constrained by feeble investment activities and a tight labor market," said Birgit Hansl, World Bank Lead Economist and Country Sector Coordinator for Economic Policy in Russia and the main author of the Report. "Global recovery could result in an increase in Russian exports starting in the fourth quarter of 2013, while the World Bank projects oil prices to remain stable. Next year's growth prospects will largely depend on the recovery in Russia's most important economic partner, the Euro Area, and the increased investment activities associated with the recently announced large state investment projects to be financed off-budget."

Index funds force change at Smith & Williamson North American Trust
September 24, 2013--Smith & Williamson Investment Management, based in London and with £14 billion under management, has reduced the holdings in its North American Trust and acknowledges pressure from the wide use of index funds by advisers.
Reducing the stock list by almost 50%, the firm expects this to help the trust to deliver an above-benchmark investment return that justifies its active fees in light of the wider use of index funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

September 23, 2013--Russia's stock market is set to rebound, thanks in part to reforms to bring trading in line with international norms, Moscow Exchange's chief executive said on Monday.
Selling at a near 50-percent discount to those of other emerging nations, Russian stocks have something of a pariah status for foreign investors worried at corruption and stalled efforts to modernise the economy.
