In particular, a rather small share of investments is directed into agriculture, forestry, high-technology industry. The unreasonably large share of investments is used for infrastructure and consumption. The disproportion in the economy development structure grew in the last decade. The study of dynamics and investment processes showed that the real growth of investments is present in infrastructure and consumption spheres. The level of investments into agriculture, processing and extracting spheres has lowered, which stands for stagnation and lack of growth.
