On September 3, on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF-2025), Moscow Exchange and the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East signed a cooperation agreement on the issuance of national bonds by regions of the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) and the Arctic. They will soon appear on the Finuslugi marketplace created by Moscow Exchange.
The funds raised will be used to finance events and projects envisaged by the master plans of Far Eastern and Arctic cities. The agreement was signed by Deputy Minister of the Russian Far East Development Elvira Nurgalieva and Senior Managing Director of Moscow Exchange for Retail Business, Development of Electronic Platforms and the Finuslugi Marketplace Igor Alutin.
In 2025, the Amur and Magadan regions, the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, and the city of Yakutsk are considering issuing public bonds with a total volume of about 2.2 billion rubles on Finuslugi.
As Igor Alutin noted, Finuslugi also plans to publish materials with master plan projects for Far Eastern and Arctic cities, for which the regions will issue national bonds.
Igor Alutin, Senior Managing Director for Retail Business, Development of Electronic Platforms and the Finuslugi Marketplace at Moscow Exchange:
“The preparation of the Far East regions for the issue of people's bonds on Finuslugi coincided with the anniversary of the Eastern Economic Forum, which is undoubtedly a significant event for us. We are pleased to welcome new regions to the platform and are proud to provide Russians with the opportunity not only to receive income from investments, but also to become co-investors in socially significant projects to develop infrastructure and improve the quality of life in our vast regions. People's bonds have already proven themselves to be an effective tool for attracting investment and a reliable way to diversify savings, so the Finuslugi team will continue to actively expand their range.”
According to Elvira Nurgalieva, the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East is currently continuing active discussions with the regions about their participation in the issue of public bonds and the feasibility of using this instrument in the implementation of city master plans.
Elvira Nurgalieva, Deputy Minister of the Russian Federation for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic:
“Three more regions have planned to issue for 2026. According to preliminary calculations, the total debt capacity of the Far East regions is about 300 billion rubles. This allows us to consider people's bonds as a source of financing for many projects. I am confident that cooperation with the Moscow Exchange will help increase the volume of issues and scale up the use of this financial instrument in the Far East and the Arctic. We see this not only as an effective way to attract additional investment, but also as an opportunity to make residents direct participants in important infrastructure changes for their cities.”
Within the framework of the agreement, Moscow Exchange and the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East plan to organize joint events, form working groups, exchange information, and engage in consultative and marketing interactions in order to popularize and develop public bonds in the Far Eastern and Arctic regions.
The opportunity to purchase national bonds appeared on Finuslugi in 2021. The peculiarity of such bonds is that only individuals can buy them – they are not traded on the stock exchange and do not have a secondary market. To purchase national bonds on Finuslugi, you do not need a brokerage account: all transactions are carried out directly between an individual and the issuer. It is enough to register in your personal account or the Finuslugi mobile application using the State Services service.
Finuslugi is a marketplace for money created by the Moscow Exchange. On Finuslugi, you can select and open bank deposits online 24/7, take out cash loans, purchase mutual fund units, public bonds of companies and Russian regions, as well as OSAGO, CASCO, mortgage insurance, real estate insurance and other products.
