Map
of opportunities
INTRODUCTION
Dear colleagues, dear friends!
Please kindly be offered the fourth issue of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives’ analytical
report Business in Russia. Geography of opportunities in which we have presented attractive
investment niches in the Altai, Kamchatka and Perm territories, as well as in the Lipetsk and
Orel regions.
It is worth to note that the majority of investment opportunities described in this issue are
focused on the needs of domestic market experiencing a certain shortage due to economic
sanctions (such as pharmaceuticals, electrical and energy-saving equipment).
In addition, the devaluation of national currency continues to bring a negative pressure on
the purchasing power of the population. In this regard, investments in the development of
domestic tourism and food industry look promising.
However, on this background, manufacture and exportation of timber industry products may
be interesting in terms of yield.
As in previous reviews, we publish a commentary on Russian macroeconomic environment
prepared by VTB Capital analysts.
We sincerely hope that this material will be useful for the development of your business and
may help in making investment decisions.

Thoughts of a n ec o no m i s t : t h e era o f exp l i c i t l y c o n d i t i o n al fo re c ast s
Thoughts of an economist:
The era of explicitly
conditional forecasts
Being an open economy, Russia constantly has to adapt to external shocks, be they volatility
in the terms of trade, the spillover of shifts in foreign central banks’ monetary policies or
swings in international investors’ risk appetite. The volatility these factors brought about,
though at times remarkable, stayed manageable (not least because key indicators, i.e. FX
were tightly managed) allowing a baseline scenario to be drawn up. Until recently.
The sum of shocks that the Russian economy faces now marks the end of the era of
meaningful point forecasts. Hence this report is our welcome to the new era of explicitly
conditional interval forecasts – we believe they are much better suited to an environment
which, for better or worse, lacks the visibility we used to enjoy in the past.
Net exports help external adjustments but are not a reliable growth engine. Net exports
are the only component of GDP to make a positive contribution this year (at 7.1pp) as
internal demand dwindles. That, however, is a result of the rapid contraction in imports
(both consumer but, more deeply, investment imports). In FX terms, exports contract
roughly proportionally to the declining trend in oil prices.
The decline in the price of energy commodities relative to other export items pushes for a
more diversified export structure, but in the medium term exports are going to continue to
be dominated by oil and gas.
On this front, a range of technological, political and economic factors supports the lower
oil price outlook:
• Technological advances on the supply side. In exploration and extraction, efficiency is set
to push the breakeven oil price lower still with the EIA projecting that the oil market will
continue to be dominated by excess supply.
• Iran’s entrance onto the international energy markets. The EIA estimates that Iran has
30 mmbbl of stocks and capacity of 2.8mmbbl/d, which is set to rise to 3.1-3.5mmbbl/d.
• EM slowdown weighs on the demand side. This could potentially be caused by the
spillover from lower Chinese demand for commodities.
Thus, the terms of trade will probably keep deteriorating and are unlikely to reverse any
time soon. Our scenarios assume USD 60/bbl as a new equilibrium which might be
reached either in the near term (upbeat), or approached gradually over a period of time
4|
Thoughts of a n ec o no m i s t : t h e era o f exp l i c i t l y c o n d i t i o n al fo re c ast s
(central) or not reached at all due to the equilibrium shifting still lower to USD 40/bbl. We
do not consider a return to levels above USD 100/bbl.
On the longer horizon, weaker REER creates the precondition for an increase in the export
of a diverse range of goods, from agriculture to manufacturing. However, this involves
entering new markets and, more importantly, creating and adapting local capacities so
that they can better meet external demand. That needs to be preceded by a recovery in
FAI. In the meantime, a recovery in local demand would push imports (both consumer and
investment) higher, which makes net exports a less likely growth engine in the medium
term.
Fiscal consolidation to weigh on local demand, not support it. The Guidelines for fiscal policy,
which contained preliminary estimates of the 2016 budget and was supported by the
government back in late June, assumed public expenditure would grow to RUB 15.9tn in 2016,
from RUB 15.2tn this year. That implies a contraction (in real terms) of at least 7.3% YoY.
However, by mid-August the assumption of Urals at USD 60/bbl had clearly become overly
aggressive and required a review, in line with the Ministry of Finance’s practice of offering
ex ante conservative budget drafts (spending is casually extended throughout the fiscal
year, if the revenue stream allows).
The first draft of the federal budget assumed a deficit of The first draft of the federal budget
assumed a deficit of decline in the price of Urals to an average of 50 USD/bbl for 2016
corresponds to a shortfall in revenues of roughly RUB 1.0-1.2tn. Keeping that expenditure
unchanged would increase the total deficit to RUB 2.9-3.1tn, on our estimates, in the central
scenario and even more in the downbeat scenario.
Keep an eye on the structure of the adjustment. With a RUB 2.9-3.1tn deficit to finance, the
government faces the task of spreading the burden between the Reserve Fund, net debt
issuance, fiscal consolidation and increased revenues (through more efficient collection
or increasing the tax burden). Government officials have even been quoted as saying that
some less standard revenue sources are being considered, such as extending the NPF
asset freeze past YE15 (which might shave up to RUB 0.35bn from the transfer to the PFR).
The proportion of deficit financing from debt issuance and the Reserve Fund/NWF is
also uncertain. Notably, MinFin defends keeping net issuance at RUB 0.5-0.6tn while
MinEconomy’s Alexey Ulyukaev argues that there is room to add another RUB 1.0tn
of new debt. The remaining RUB 1.5tn could be spread between the Reserve Fund and
outright expenditure cuts (which might include <5.5% pension indexation and a universal
percentage decrease to other spending).
Even in the upside scenario, fiscal policy faces the challenge of sustaining expenditures
in real terms, while the central and downside scenarios call for nominal cuts in spending
which means that any positive real contribution to growth from public demand (both
consumption and investment) is off the agenda.
Household consumption is under pressure on all fronts. The increase in household
consumption can be funded by a combination of i) increasing wages; ii) rising stock of
retail debt; and iii) declining stock of household wealth (i.e. selling accumulated FX cash).
While there are signs that households use accumulated FX to smooth a temporary decline
in real incomes, it can only be a temporary and relatively small fix.

Thoughts of a n ec o no m i s t : t h e era o f exp l i c i t l y c o n d i t i o n al fo re c ast s
Meanwhile, retail lending is subdued and the retail portfolio is shrinking at 0.65-0.8% MoM
SA FX adj. We do not expect the recovery to kick in until at least 2Q16 when brighter signs
of recovery appear. Until then, interest and non-interest lending conditions are likely to
remain tight. Thus, retail lending is unlikely to support internal consumer demand in the
coming years, even after retail deleveraging runs its course.
Wage bill growth to remain anaemic, driven down by restructuring in public and nontradable sectors. Wages, the ultimate source of household demand growth (they account
for more than two-thirds of total household income), do not provide much ground to be
upbeat either.
• Fiscal consolidation is to continue weighing on public sector wages.
• In the private sector, wages are to track productivity trends in individual industries more
closely.
In the private sector, wage growth in the non-tradable sector (including finance, construction
and hospitality) is set to lag the tradable sector significantly, as employers share profits
from RUB weakness with the labour force. The anaemic wage growth in the public and
non-tradable sectors will provide more incentive for labour force outflow into the tradable
sector, helping to promote the restructuring of the economy.
Preconditions for private investments are starting to emerge. The contraction of private
investments can only in part be explained by elevated interest rates or tighter credit
conditions. Headline investment growth crossed the line back in 2H13 and has stayed in
the red since then. Back then, the CBR’s key interest rate1 fluctuated in a narrow 5.0-5.5%
corridor and other factors were weighing on the FAI; they included mounting economic
policy uncertainty, stronger REER-induced Dutch disease and (in part) the growing
disconnect between wage growth and productivity.

Thoughts of a n ec o no m i s t : t h e era o f exp l i c i t l y c o n d i t i o n al fo re c ast s
Despite FX volatility and elevated interest rates which stifle investment activity, the
preconditions for reigniting private investments are starting to emerge:
• Corporates in the tradable sectors have accumulated substantial liquidity. This buffer,
due to weak FX-driven profits in 1H15, means investments are less dependent on the
availability of other sources of funding.
• The cost of funding is coming down. The 1-3Y corporate lending rate reached 15.4% in
July, down from its peak of 17.8% in February.
• Momentum in interest rate cuts fades. This created the incentive to delay borrowing
and push investment down the road, which made sense when the CBR was delivering
100-200bp cuts each meeting, but the pace of easing has slowed to 50bp and at its most
recent meeting the CBR opted for no change.
• Shift to weaker REER viewed as a permanent weakness. It is no longer seen as a
transitory weakness to be undone by a reversal of the tide on the commodity markets.
This is supported by regular verbal interventions from the authorities, and there
is virtually no sponsor of a strong RUB anywhere among the expert community or
publicly visible figures.
Businesses to exploit opportunities offered by cost competitiveness on both the local market
(weaker FX provides a natural barrier for imports) and on the external one (due to the attractive
cost of labour in FX terms, among others). Furthermore, in the coming years the government’s
efforts to promote a more investment-friendly environment are likely to bear fruit. The more
visible federal projects are i) a freeze on adding new taxes or increasing the existing ones and ii)
creating clusters with special treatment for incorporated enterprises (lower tax rates, less red
tape). Although a second-best decision in itself, it is important that the recent government talk
of extracting additional fiscal revenues from the oil sector is confined to just that sector since the
oil tax system gives the sector a special tax treatment which, with overshooting FX, makes the
sector’s P&L benefit from collapsing oil prices. An increase in economy-wide taxes remains a
taboo for now.
Investment growth is more likely to materialise in tradable sectors with larger liquidity
stocks. Private investment is harder to project than public capex, as the former is, by its
nature, more sensitive to swings in the outlook and level of ‘animal spirits’.
Nevertheless, we believe that the industries which are better positioned to take advantage
of the current conditions are those that:
• have low or materially improving NPL, allowing for access to bank lending and lower
borrowing costs;
• see the growth of the loan portfolio bottoming out or increasing, which is another sign
of access to borrowing;
• operate in the tradable sector, which means lower dependence on local demand (which
is to remain subdued) and better chances to diversify into external markets;
• are dominated by the private sector, as the public sector is set to shrink in real terms.
Thus, the more likely industries to deliver positive real investment growth are, among
others, agriculture, autos and electric parts and components producers, fertilizers and to
some extent infrastructure.
