Business
- Software developer Bongo R&D has received minority shares in fintech company Dengi Vpered. Analysts valued the service at 925.4 million rubles, or $10 million, and the ratio was probably increased by the cost of the company’s loss, they said.
- In 2023, Russians spent 917.5 billion rubles ordering food online. The study did not take into account the delivery category of cereals, pastas, canned foods and other similar dry food products.

Transport
