2020: Creating GIS

On July 9, 2020, it became known about the creation in Russia of a unified state system for banks, investors and the state. It was called "Capital Investments"

According to Izvestia, citing a request from the Ministry of Communications to change the passport of the national project, the department proposes to include the creation of this system in the national project "Digital Economy" and allocate 5 billion rubles for it. It is proposed to redistribute money for the creation of the system from a project to create wireless networks for socially significant objects in small settlements.

Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications creates a single investment platform

GIS "Investments" will appear on the basis of Article 5 of Federal Law No. 69-FZ "On the Protection and Promotion of Investments in the Russian Federation," approved on April 1, 2020, the Ministry of Finance explained. The platform is needed for information interaction, support for the development of investment activities, the implementation of a mechanism for protecting and encouraging investments (SZPK). The platform will have access to the function of reimbursement of costs for the creation of infrastructure, if then you have to transfer it to the ownership of a public legal entity, the Ministry of Finance added.

The creation of the portal is provided for by the federal law on the protection and promotion of investments. It is assumed that "Investments" will simplify the attraction of money for the implementation of government development programs and control over private investment. However, the emergence of the portal will not be able to avoid corporate conflicts and a clash of interests of participants in investment projects, including foreigners, experts interviewed by the publication believe.

According to the founder of the Dsight platform Arseny Dabbach, the emergence of another platform, and not integration into existing ones, will entail significant expenses. At the same time, the need to create it is connected with the intention to attract internal investment to finance development programs. External capital is not enough now, so it is necessary to create conditions for internal investment, he believes.^[3]
