Stability attracts investors, artists – Gref on Russian passport of Depardieu

MOSCOW. Jan 4 (Interfax) – Political, economic and financial stability attracts investors and artists, Sberbank CEO German Gref told Interfax on Friday, speaking of Russian citizenship conferred to French actor Gerard Depardieu.

“The Depardieu situation shows that financial, economic and political stability is frequently a key factor in the choice of the country by investors and artists. I think people would have been standing in line for our passports if other departments had made the same progress as the tax policy,” Gref said.
