Moscow Exchange Money Market Fund Inflows Surge
In the third quarter of 2026, net inflows to money market funds on the Moscow Exchange reached 70.7 billion rubles, marking a significant 17-fold increase compared to the same period last year. The Moscow Exchange reported that the total inflows for the year surpassed 128.7 billion rubles. This growth is attributed to the current market conditions, where the main benchmark for the money market, the RUSFAR index, has shown significant changes. The increase in demand for money market funds is driven by both individual investors and institutional investors, with the funds now accounting for over 40% of daily liquidity provided in overnight repo transactions, a key indicator of the money market's stability. The Moscow Exchange, a key component of the Russian financial market, facilitates the management of liquidity by financial institutions, businesses, and individual investors through various instruments such as repo with the Central Bank of Russia, repo with Central Securities Depository, deposits with the Central Bank of Russia, and credit and deposit auctions.
