Moscow Exchange was severely impacted by the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. After the country’s invasion, the exchange was shut for a month to offset the impact on the trading markets. However, trading volumes, especially in the equities market, still remain lower than pre-war levels as a result of the international sanctions imposed on Russia.
