Russian Direct Investment Fund plans to invest 6 bln rubles ($92.6 mln) in projects in Kyrgyzstan, including gold mining, RDIF’s Chief Executive Officer Kirill Dmitriev told reporters on Thursday, adding that the Fund would also provide assistance in setting up a sovereign fund in the country.
"We are ready to provide assistance to the Kyrgyz side in setting up a sovereign fund on RDIF’s pattern. We also see that Kyrgyzstan is interested in creating such a fund for attracting foreign investment in particular. RDIF has decided to invest over 6 bln rubles in joint Russian-Kyrgyz projects with that fund," he said.
