The real estate requirement for obtaining qualified investor status will increase in 2025 from the current 6 million rubles to 12 million rubles. In 2026, it will also double – up to 24 million rubles. It was initially proposed to increase the rating to 30 million rubles, but market participants did not agree to this.
The Bank of Russia plans to increase the property qualification required to obtain qualified investor status. This is established in the regulator’s draft decree.
At the moment, the rating of the property is 6 million rubles. In 2025 it will double to 12 million rubles and in 2026 it will double again to 24 million rubles.
According to the initial proposal, it was planned to increase the rating of the property to 30 million rubles, but not all market participants agreed to this amount.
The Central Bank explained the gradual increase in the real estate rating by the need to adapt its size to the inflation accumulated since 2015.
The regulator also aims to combat the practice of formally issuing qualified investor status, when it is obtained by people without real knowledge of the structure of complex financial products.
