The State Duma assessed the directions of development of the financial market of the Russian Federation

In the main directions of financial market development for 2026-2028, the Bank of Russia has identified a number of priorities that can set a new impetus. This opinion was expressed by Sergey Gavrilov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Property, Land and Property Relations, member of the National Financial Council of the Bank of Russia, in an interview with Izvestia.

"For investment growth, the key rate should be below 10%"

Alexander Kalinin, head of Opora Russia, talks about tax benefits, the fate of the self—employed after 2028, and how to improve loan conditions.

First of all, this is the development of the capital market as a source of business financing, the parliamentarian notes.

"Now many companies rely on bank loans or their own resources, and going public is perceived as a complex and costly process. Creating conditions for simplified access of issuers to public offerings and improving the quality of information disclosure can expand the number of participants, and therefore increase the amount of funds raised," he believes.

The second important direction is to strengthen the protection of investors' rights, the source clarifies. We are talking about raising testing standards and admissions for unqualified participants, developing insurance mechanisms and behavioral supervision.

"The growing number of private investors makes the topic of protection especially relevant: it is the trust of the retail audience that forms the basis of liquidity, without which the market cannot develop. Strengthening guarantees from the regulator helps to reduce concerns and stimulates the involvement of new participants," Gavrilov is convinced.

He emphasizes that the market is facing serious challenges today. However, the areas chosen by the regulator form the foundation for it to become a more comprehensive and sustainable system in the coming years, capable of supporting business development and offering investors real long-term prospects. What other areas of work have been identified by the Central Bank can be found in the Izvestia article.
