Growth Drivers of the Russia Private Equity Market

Government Support and Sovereign Wealth Fund Expansion

The Russian state helps create and later capitalizes the private equity venture market via sovereign wealth funds and other state-backed investment vehicles, for example, the Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov stated on 26 November 2024 that the Russian National Wealth Fund (NWF) would be replenished through USD 14.4-15.5 Billion in oil and gas revenues. The fund is projected to reach USD 122 billion by the end of 2024, and USD 142 billion by the end of 2025 (6 per cent of GDP), allowing the fund to deliver long-term stability and liquidity for private equity investments in the energy, defense, and technology sectors to help strengthen overall economic resilience and sustainability.

Import Substitution and Domestic Industry Development

Import substitution and import independence policies are fueling private equity investment in Russia. During his 16 February 2025 speech, President Vladimir Putin claimed the Kremlin will support industries in Russia, with initiatives such as industrial mortgages, subsidies and soft loans in Chelyabinsk. These initiatives encourage private equity investments in domestic manufacturing, automotive, and chemical industries rather than through foreign supply chains, in order to develop innovation and increase the industrial capacity of the Russian economy and attain economic sovereignty.

Alternative Financing and Digital Sovereignty Initiatives

Due to international sanctions impacting standard banking operations between Russia and other countries, Russian private equity is also providing mezzanine finance, loans, and purchasing distressed assets in Russia. On 1 May 2024, Russia added that almost all domestic transactions and 557 institutions in 20 other countries, used a Russia alternative to SWIFT, the System for Transfer of Financial Messages (SPFS). The push towards digital sovereignty is also opening up new opportunities for private equity to invest in fintech, AI, and cybersecurity. Alongside this is a greater reliance on private debt and alternative financing methods, which offer businesses new avenues to secure funds without relying on Western financial systems.
