俄罗斯MOEX股指从5月中旬的3503点跌至5月底的3420点,这是自入侵乌克兰以来的最高点。俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司宣布2023年亏损68亿美元,这是自1999年以来的首次亏损,原因是对欧洲的天然气销售减少。受此影响,俄罗斯政府指示这家国有天然气巨头放弃今年的股息,使其股价达到2018年以来的最高水平。俄罗斯第二大天然气生产商诺瓦泰克的股价也有所下跌,创下一年来的新低,2023年的股息比2022年减少了22%。尽管如此,在过去两年里,仍有机会进入俄罗斯市场的国内零售和外国投资者在提振股市方面发挥了重要作用,为寻求投资机会的俄罗斯公司提供了急需的资本。
Russia's MOEX stock index declined to 3420 towards the end of May, slipping from 3503 in mid-May, which was the highest since before the Ukraine invasion. The downturn followed Gazprom's announcement of a $6.8 billion loss for 2023, its first since 1999, attributed to reduced gas sales to Europe. Prompted by this, the Russian government directed the state-run gas giant to forgo dividends for the year, sending its shares to levels not seen since 2018. Novatek, Russia's second-largest gas producer, also saw a drop in stock value, hitting one-year lows with a 22% decrease in 2023 dividends compared to 2022. Despite this, domestic retail and foreign investors who still have access to Russian markets, have been instrumental in bolstering the stock market over the past two years, providing much-needed capital for Russian firms seeking investment opportunities.
