In 2025, the Bank of Russia will introduce a new category of brokers, which will include investors with no experience in trading securities and financial instruments. Thus, the regulator wants to limit the risks of novice participants in the securities market.

As follows from the Central Bank’s announcement, a category of investors with a minimum level of risk will be introduced from April 1, 2025. For such participants, the amount of leverage will be reduced.
“At the same time, brokers will have to warn newcomers in advance when their order may lead to a leveraged transaction,” the regulator clarifies.
The Central Bank has also adjusted the procedure for calculating risk coverage standards for all categories of clients. Its effect now extends to options contracts.
Today, regulation of margin transactions extends to currencies, securities, precious metals and futures.
The Central Bank previously launched a unified database with company ratings so that investors would not have to search for information independently on the websites of four rating agencies.
