The author reviews the process of economic reforms in the Russian Federation in 2004-2005 and assesses reform perspectives for the period of 2006-2008. In most of the reform areas Russia is still a long way from the level of OECD countries: outcomes for 2004 demonstrate that during 2003-2004 Russia joined the economies in transition with the slowest pace of reforms. The article analyzes the possibilities and obstacles for continuation of reforms within the next three years. The author concludes that in the mid-term perspective the pace of Russian economic reforms is unlikely to accelerate. There is a close positive connection between the pace of reforms and the rate of economic growth in transition economies; therefore, the slow pace of reforms will contribute to deceleration of economic growth. Consequences of the reform slowdown will become most visible beyond 2008.

The research objective of this paper is to explore the empirical linkages between economic growth and foreign direct investment (FDI), gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) and trade openness in India (TOP) over the period 1980 to 2013. The study reveals a positive relationship between economic growth and FDI, GFCF and TOP. This study establishes a strong unidirectional causal flow from changes in FDI, trade openness and capital formation to the economic growth rates of India. The impulse response function traces the positive influence of these macro variables on the GDP growth rates of India. The study also reveals that the volatility of GDP growth rates in India is mainly attributed to the variation in the level of GFCF and FDI. The study concludes that the FDI inflows and the size of capital formation are the main determinants of economic growth. In view of this, it is expected that the government of India should provide more policy focus on promoting FDI inflows and domestic capital formations to increase its economic growth in the long-term.
