The general economic situation of the countries can be characterized by one important factor – the investment climate. A favorable investment climate is the most important condition for attracting investment flows and subsequent eco-nomic growth in the country. Important criteria for making decisions in the field of investment activity are the assess-ment of the investment climate at the macro level. The article analyzes the current state of the investment sphere and the investment climate in the Russian Federation. The study provides an assessment of the dynamics of the number of foreign direct investment projects in the country from 2015 to 2019, the main investment donor countries for Russia as of 2019, and the most attractive industries and sectors of the Russian Federation for 2010–2019. The article considers the main regions-recipients of foreign investments. The study contains an analysis of the implementation of investment projects in the Russian Federation as of 2019. When studying the investment climate of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to take into account the corona virus pandemic, since this crisis could not but affect the volume of invest-ments and the implementation of investment projects. That is why the data for 2020 are considered separately: the impact of the corona virus infection on the implementation of investment projects, the factors of the corona crisis af-fecting investment flows, and the forecast state of the investment market at the end of 2021. The article presents the megatrends that have intensified after the pandemic and affect the investment climate of countries.

The research of the scientific article is devoted to the current state of bilateral relations between Russia and Turkey, the main directions of cooperation and prospects of interaction. At the moment, in addition to comprehensive and deep relations between the two countries, Russia and Turkey are linked by trade, energy, investment and military cooperation. A survey conducted in Turkey showed that more than 70% of citizens have a positive view of the political and economic union with Russia. Turkey has become Russias fifth largest trading partner over the past two years, helped by the signing of a joint declaration on the lifting of trade restrictions and the normalization of economic relations. The article analyzes the volume of trade turnover with Turkey, considers promising investment projects, the role of mutual investments, and introduces formulas for calculating the indicators of complementarity and payback periods of the Akkuyu investment nuclear project.

The article discusses the impact of global economic changes on the transformation of the global financial market. The example of developed countries in general and eurozone countries, in particular, shows the causes and consequences of the global financial and economic crisis. The study of structural transformations of the global financial market has shown that the impact of crisis phenomena both on the development of different market segments and on the economic dynamics in different countries is different. The current crisis, unlike all previous ones, began in the group of developed countries, and only then rapidly expanded to other countries. Thus, for developing countries, the effects of the crisis were in most cases indirect and with varying levels of influence.

The research of the scientific article is devoted to topical areas of trade and economic cooperation between Russia and Turkey. Problems were identified both in the implementation of mutual trade between the two countries and in the implementation of bilateral agreements. The main directions for increasing trade turnover and creating a favorable investment climate are identified. The volume of trade turnover is considered in the foreign trade statistics for the results of 2019 and the first half of 2020. The role of agreements signed at the level of heads of organizations and departments of the two countries that ensure the implementation of economic policy is revealed.
