The first deputy chairman of the Central Bank of Russia Sergey Shvetsov refused to be allowed to trade on the stock exchange for children from 12 years. He called these words with an expression that arose from the discussion in the framework of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (PMEF-2021) reports RIA Novosti.
At the same time, he noted that the principle himself considers faithful. The situation when in 14 years can be married, but it is impossible to buy bonds of a federal loan (OFZ), Schvetov seems illogical, although he agrees that 12 years are busting.
The representative of the Central Bank recalled that banks are already offering plastic cards for children from 7 years. On them, the child can pay for the purchases on their own, but parents see all operations. Although the child can not go to the store for the Civil Code formally, and from 14 to 18 it is entitled to pay minor purchases.
On June 2, the Shvetsov proposed that children from 12 years could invest in securities with family permission. At the same time, he opposed the tough restrictions on such an investment, since the money in the end belong to the family, and no one can prohibit it to dispose of them.
