"Over the past year and a half, we have seen an accumulation of pent-up demand for access to exchange trading via Internet. This service was waited, first of all, by individual investors. It will significantly revive market activity and increase its attractiveness for investors, including foreign ones. I expect a significant increase in the number of accounts registered on the exchange in the next few years," - said Marina Mashkovskaya, CEO of FREEDOM FINANCE UKRAINE, LLC.
