What it means Foreign capital is shifting toward physical industrial production and resource extraction rather than services or Russian-originated investments. As manufacturing and mining expand, local operators will need machinery, technical servicing, and international procurement channels. However, lower finance sector investment indicates potential limitations in formal bank capital support.
