The article examines and assesses the problem of the investment deficit in the Russian economy, which has acquired particular relevance due to the coronavirus crisis caused by the pandemic. The study aims to develop practical recommendations for Russian state bodies to stimulate the investment process in the Russian economy and improve the efficiency of measures taken by the state to ensure the country’s socio-economic development. The objectives of this paper are to analyze the directions of optimization and prioritization of investment of resources during the economic recession caused by the coronavirus crisis using investment lending and project financing instruments, as well as to analyze and assess the ongoing reform of development institutions based on the state corporation “VEB.RF”. The research methodology includes an analysis of the regulatory legal framework, statistical information, official reports of state bodies, development institutions, scientific monographs and publications of Russian scientists, periodicals. The authors analyzed the trends and problems of the investment process in the Russian economy, including in the field of attracting foreign direct investment. Attention is paid to the ongoing reform of development institutions aimed at enhancing the role of the state development corporation “VEB.RF” in stimulating investment. The authors conclude that it is necessary to take a set of functional, instrumental, and institutional measures aimed at stimulating investment and ensuring sustainable socio-economic development of Russia. In particular, in the context of a shortage of domestic sources of financing for long-term investments, it is important to provide regulatory macroeconomic support for the inflow of foreign direct investment into the Russian economy. In this regard, the authors propose to change the monetary policy strategy to increase the stimulating role of refinancing of credit institutions and the projected exchange rate in attracting domestic and foreign long-term investments and ensuring sustainable development of the Russian economy. The authors also propose to increase the role of foreign exchange regulation and foreign exchange control in stimulating investment and ensuring sustainable socio-economic development of Russia.

Overall overview of current economic situation in Russia and in the world and possible scenarios of future economic development are presented in the paper. The analysis of GDP slowdown factors shows that the fall in excess inventories, accumulated in 2007—2008, accounts for more than 2/3 of GDP reduction in Russia. It is noted that instruments used by the government are weakening each other and do not allow to achieve internal and external equilibrium simultaneously in the future. Two possible anti-crisis economic policies (which are also behind the differences in two scenarios) are considered — countercyclical and anti inflation ones, their advantages and drawbacks are examined. The conclusion is made that countercyclical policy is now more favorable, which seems also to be a government choice. Nevertheless, anti-inflation policy directed to shrink monopolies power is necessary in both scenarios.

The article discusses the objective need to use the world experience of forecasting and planning in the process of developing a "welfare state" as an effective model for the modern development of a socially oriented market economy. The denial and lack of planning and forecasting of the economy on the scale of the country can lead to such negative consequences as uncertainty of the benchmarks of social and economic development of society for the long term and the development of chaos in the country; priorities of the decision short-term and current problems before strategic tasks on which the future development of society depends; preservation of playback modes; incomplete and inefficient use of resources; the emergence of crisis situations, etc. The practice of the leading countries of the world and the results they get prove that planning and forecasting are objectively necessary tools for the development of the modern market economy. The experience of many countries of the world testifies to the effectiveness of the use of these tools of state regulation of national socio-economic development. Features of forecasting and planning are considered in the representative countries of three existing systems of planning and regulation in the world: North American (USA and Canada); Asian (Japan and South Korea); European (France and Sweden). The forecasting and planning tools are based on the intersection balance model, which involves the inclusion of market impact (equilibrium prices) to determine the proportions of the plan and reflects the dynamics of production links (processes of public reproduction) of the national economy for several years. In the 21st century, strategic planning for the effective development of the state's economy is a prerequisite for sustainable economic growth and the formation of a national model of "welfare state" on this basis. Today, developed (post-industrial) countries use planning and forecasting, which have established themselves as an objective and natural tool for the modern market economy, where the role of the state is based on indicative planning, which ensures the achievement of sustainable economic growth to improve the well-being of the nation.
