Russia aims to bolster its stock exchange with billions from foreign investors

MOSCOW, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) — Russia plans to attract 1 trillion rubles (around 12 billion U.S. dollars) from foreign investors to its stock exchange by 2030, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said Thursday.
“The Russian market should be accessible to foreign capital as well. By 2030, it is planned to attract 1 trillion rubles in such investments,” Mishustin said in a video address to the Moscow Financial Forum.
The prime minister emphasized that strengthening trust in the domestic stock market and boosting capitalization remain key government priorities.
In July, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on additional guarantees for the rights of foreign investors.
The decree stipulates the conditions under which foreigners can make investments in Russia, without consideration of the counter-sanction decrees of 2022 and 2023, which set limitations for representatives of “unfriendly” countries. Enditem
