The Central Bank intends to increase the responsibility of bloggers and Telegram channels for investment advice

According to him, there are complaints: citizens, following such advice, often from anonymous financial gurus, face financial losses and fraud.

Mikhail Mamuta emphasized that responsibility is needed for illegal investment advice, since its consequences are close to the abuse of the right. He added that there are enough problems in this area that require systemic solutions. It is now being discussed with the relevant departments.

The specialist also pointed out that the regulator is sure that the control of the institute of investment advisors should be improved. In addition, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation supports a bill that would prohibit collecting money from citizens in companies that are not under the supervision of the regulator. In addition, constant educational work is needed in the field of investment literacy, concluded Mikhail Mamuta.
