MOSCOW, January 11 (RIA Novosti) - Net capital inflow into Russia reached a record $82.3 billion in 2007, almost double the previous year's figure, the Central Bank announced on Friday.

In 2006 the figure was $42 billion. In the last three months of 2007, net capital inflow was $23.5 billion, compared with net outflow of $7.6 billion in the third quarter.

Earlier forecasts for 2007 put net capital inflow at between $70 billion and $90 billion. Analysts expect a similar figure for this year.
