What lies ahead for the Russian stock market in 2025 — growth of 20% or a decline of 10%? This pressing question was at the heart of the Forbes conference "Investments 2025: Ideas and Strategies for a Changing World." Representing Wealth IQ, Executive Director Veronika Zhukova shared her expert perspective on the future of the market.
The discussion centered on four critical factors shaping market dynamics: geopolitics, the Central Bank's monetary policy, oil prices, and corporate earnings growth. During her speech, Veronika Zhukova highlighted two key insights:
"The Russian market undoubtedly holds potential for growth, but it remains highly sensitive to external factors. Looking at historical returns, dollar deposits over a ten-year horizon have outperformed most investments in the Russian stock market. Despite the changes of recent years, investors still have the option to allocate funds to such deposits."
"Another crucial driver of market growth is the expansion of the investor base. To achieve this, we must build trust through transparency and safeguard the interests of market participants. The industry's key challenge now is to make the market accessible, understandable, and appealing to new investors."
As we approach 2025, these perspectives offer valuable guidance for investors navigating an ever-evolving financial landscape. Wealth IQ remains committed to helping clients stay ahead of the curve with forward-thinking strategies and expert insights.
