The Actualization of Investment Instruments in the Russian Federation and EU Countries: State and Political Discourse

Abstract

A new global problem has been the spread of COVID‑19 coronavirus infection and the resulting recession, the crisis of vulnerable sectors of the economy and banking sector, social tensions, and internal political conflicts. For states with high levels of instability (social, economic, political) in the COVID‑19 period, the task of increasing investment growth and improving their quality has become even more relevant. In addition to economic factors, the investment process is influenced by related social, political factors and the effectiveness of the regulatory and management mechanism and the legal framework. In this connection, the article conducted a comparative analysis of project financing and implementation of investment projects in Russia and the EU countries. The author considered the theoretical paradigms of investment project models and identified factors affecting the development of financing investment projects. In conclusion, the author proposed ways to overcome problems in constructing the project financing mechanism and developing a model of investment projects.
