Federal loan bonds (OFZ) are bought up very quickly, but experts missed the target audience: wealthy Russians show the greatest interest in government securities. This was announced by the director of the department of state debt and state financial assets of the Ministry of Finance Konstantin Vyshkovsky.

"The average amount of an order for the purchase of OFZs is about one million rubles," Vishkovsky said on Friday, May 12. In general, according to him, the overwhelming majority of applications are submitted for an amount exceeding 300 thousand rubles. "Thus, OFZ has not yet reached a mass investor," RNS cites the words of the representative of the Ministry of Finance.

Chairman of the Board of VTB24 Mikhail Zadornov has the same opinion: "We have an average check of 1.5 million rubles. , Sberbank - 700-800 thousand. rub. They are wealthy, privileged. For these people 1 million rubles. - this is not the last million, "- he said on the air of the TV channel" Rossiya24 ". Accordingly, believes Zadornov, OFZs were interested, first of all, people who are tired of investing in real estate, it is unprofitable to keep on deposit, for them bonds are a new financial instrument that is curious to experience.

Meanwhile, the project was conceived as an additional means of generating income for ordinary Russians, as Vyshkovsky said a month ago - for citizens with below-average incomes, who do not know the deep knowledge and understanding of the financial market. Proceeding from this, the minimum threshold of the purchase was determined - 30 bonds worth 1,000. rub. Each, and the maximum - 150 thousand. Bonds.

The sale of OFZ started on April 26. By now, more than half of the output has been sold, said Zadornov.
