– Yes. The Russian stock market is not expensive, and as long as investors believe that interest rates will fall, it will steadily rise because there has been a very profound misconception in recent months that central banks significantly influence the economic cycle. This is not the case. Government spending is much more important. And today, everyone is still in favor of the Russian stock market remaining strong. As before.
