CREDIT AS A SOURCE OF FINANCING INVESTMENT PROJECTS
The article deals with a wide infrastructure of investments that are created in market economies. We can call them financial assets of long-term money. Pension funds, insurance companies, mutual funds are the largest of them, and the banks take only the fourth place. Moreover, very often banks take their parts in the project not as lenders but as investors. In connection with a number of problems in the Russian economy and the substantial gap between the real and financial sectors of the economy in Russia banks are the main source of long-term money received by enterprises for investment purposes in the private sector of the Russian economy.
