The Central Bank made an exit to the stock exchange of all economically active Russians. Such an assumption was voiced by the deputy head of the Regulator Vladimir Chilyukhin, who quotes RBC.
“We have an economically active population – 74 million people. I think that at least exactly so many brokerage accounts can be open,” said the deputy head of the Central Bank.
According to him, now the brokerage account is not perceived as a “some special chip”, but is a “tool for the implementation of certain operations.”
Also, Chioreukhin suggested that soon brokerage accounts will automatically be opened to all banking clients. Now the largest brokers are credit organizations.
Following the results of 2020, the Moscow Exchange recorded the record influx of new customers. The number of open brokerage accounts has reached eight million. In early April, this figure increased to 11 million.
