The head of state noted that the heads of companies are free to make their own investment decisions.

“But bearing in mind that we are working in conditions of great uncertainty and a large number of uncertainty factors, you decide for yourself, but it’s better to go to the house - it’s calmer and more reliable here,” RIA Novosti quotes Putin.

According to him, the government's task is to create such conditions so that resources can be more efficiently directed to business development in Russia, and not to pay dividends or distribute them in “safe havens”.

Earlier, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said that in 2021 the authorities plan to launch a new investment cycle. This is expected to increase the number of decent-wage jobs.
