Investors pulling out of Russia
Russia has seen foreign reserves decline, a sign that the market is more nervous about investing in the region since the recent conflict in Georgia.
Central Bank figures show reserves were sharply down in the week ending 15 August, marking a fall of $16.4bn (£8.8bn) from $597.5bn a week earlier.
Tensions with the west have also been strained by Russia's objection to the US placing a missile defence in Poland.
Georgia has urged the west to invest in the region as it seeks to rebuild.
According to the Financial Times, the latest drop in capital reserves is the largest "since comparable figures began" in 1998, though similar funds were taken out during the currency crisis.
Reconstruction
Finance ministers from the group of seven richest nations have said they are "ready to support" Georgia's economic reconstruction in the wake of conflict with Russia.
The US Treasury issued a statement on the G7 countries' behalf saying they would be ready to help Georgia "to maintain confidence in Georgia's financial system and support economic reconstruction."
He also called on Georgian authorities, the World Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Asian Development Bank, European Investment Bank, and European Commission to "identify and support reconstruction needs and the restoration of services that will build a base for future economic growth".
Officials from the World Bank are visiting Georgia on Friday to assess the extent of damage to its economy and how the process of reconstruction can begin.
The development body has pledged to help Georgia access funding to rebuild crucial infrastructure, such as roads and railway lines.
It has also promised to assist people displaced by the fighting in South Ossetia and in Georgia itself.
The US and Poland signed a deal earlier this week to locate part of the US missile defence system on Polish soil, but Russia has warned the base could become a target for a nuclear strike.
Such geopolitical concerns have been a factor pushing up oil prices, amid fears that supplies might be hampered.
"Investors are realising that the bear has put its paw on the pipeline, and geopolitical risk is likely to remain a theme for the next month or so," said Justin Urquhart Stewart, investment director at Seven Investment Management.

A big share of Russian reserves is in euros. $16.4bn is 3% and in last 10 days euro to US dollar ratio changed more then 4%... |

Russia is more economically sound than we are. They have no national debt. We, on the other hand, owe China 3 trillion dollars for Bush's fun little oil war.
I hope Russia turns the gas off Europe this winter......or at least charges them 10 times the going rate. They can recoup their losses. |

Protesters Chant `Russians Go Home' at Georgian Port
By Helena Bedwell and Maria Levitov
Aug. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Hundreds of Georgians chanted ``Russians go home'' at the Black Sea port of Poti today to protest checkpoints set up by Russian troops manning armored personnel carriers.
Protesters waved Georgian flags in front of about 15 Russians near the Rioni River as international observers arrived in Georgia a day after Russia announced completion of a troop pullback under terms of the French-brokered cease-fire over the breakaway region of South Ossetia. |

You'll only hear about the frozen little germans and poles that can't afford to pay their gas bill. Of course, their gov. was the one that shafted them, but the MSM has a short-term memory.
People shouldn't fuck with the Kremlin. |

Doubtful. The financiers have more long term gain if he stands his ground. Pipelines, pipelines, pipelines.....control these and you control the flow of money. Putin has to protect Iran. A regime change in Iran means Russian contracts for Iran's pipelines would be out the window..... |

There's going to be a certain amount of fallout, but when you consider that Iran pulled 75 billion out of Europe it's not of any major significance that certain number of investors are pulling out of Russia.
Also, please consider could be a ploy of the Zionists as well.
As that proverbial fuse burns toward the detonation of WW III we will see many sparks fly, this is one more as that fuse becomes shorter and shorter.
The movement of military to key locations, destabilization of global economy, usurpation of sovereign rights, fear mongering propaganda that is occurring at unprecedented levels should leave no doubt in any one's mind who has been watching for just the past six months that WW III is only days away. Which day shouldn't really matter. All that really matters is whether you are prepared.
For those who have taken the time to cultivate and develop a realtionship with the creator(s) of creation and trust that creator(s) to the degree that you believe that there is an overflowing abundance od everything you will need no matter what happens around you, I believe are the ones who will come out on the other side of WW III and live on. We may nt come out smelling like a rose, but we will live on in a better world. |

Okay. I'll think this is significant and meaningful...IF you post what's happened in the States during the same time frame that you're referring to.
After all...let's have a BALANCED perspective. Makes for FAR more answers than one side fits all, imo

Yes it does sound like the jewish oligarchs are getting their money out of Russia to prevent the russians from confiscating it like they tried a few years ago. The israeli banks are probably going to see a rise in assets real soon. |
