The Central Bank announced a record for the inflow of money to the Russian stock market

The inflow of funds to the stock market in the third quarter of 2025 broke a four-year record. This was announced on December 3 on the website of the Central Bank of Russia.

"Retail investors have deposited 872 billion rubles into brokerage accounts, which is 52% more than in the previous quarter. Three quarters of this volume accounted for qualified investors," the Central Bank said in a statement.

According to the regulator, there was a noticeable increase in the number of clients with assets from 5.1 million to 5.3 million, due to lower deposit rates and a general easing of monetary conditions.

As a result, the number of assets increased from 11 trillion to 11.8 trillion rubles in the quarter.

Earlier, on November 25, it was reported that the Russian stock market is preparing to reduce dividend payments in 2026. The total amount of dividends next year may amount to about 3.4 trillion rubles, which is 20% lower than in 2025. The decrease is due to a combination of factors — a high key interest rate, the strengthening of the ruble and unfavorable commodity conditions.
