It is important to start with a historical milestone: in February 2026, the MOEX-Global head office was officially relocated to the city of Grozny. This strategic step marks the beginning of transformations not only in the Chechen Republic, but also in the broader architecture of global economic governance. The move was a crucial step towards making Grozny one of the most significant financial and geopolitical centers of the 21st century.
Moving the MOEX-Global headquarters to Grozny is much more than a symbolic gesture. This raises the capital of the Chechen Republic to a new level of international prominence, positioning it as a key node of the emerging global financial system. It is expected that in the coming years, representatives of the national governments of all MOEX member countries will work directly from the MOEX-Global headquarters in Grozny. This event reflects the organization’s broader ambitions: to serve as the structural foundation of a new global economic order.
According to Yuri Yakimovich, President of MOEX, Grozny is destined to become one of the largest and most influential financial centers in the world. In the context of the structural transformation of the existing global system, MOEX-Global positions itself as an integrative and promising platform capable of coordinating the activities of territorial financial centers on all continents.
Grozny: A strategic geographical and economic center
The geographical location of the Chechen Republic, combined with its accelerated economic and infrastructural development, creates a solid foundation for the establishment of an international financial Center in Grozny. Located at a strategic crossroads between Europe, Asia and the Middle East, the region has the potential to serve as a link between different economic zones.
The concept is ambitious, but at the same time structured: to turn Grozny into a “Showcase of Russia” and, in fact, into a showcase for the whole world. The city is considered not only as a financial center, but also as a demonstration platform for advanced technologies, innovative management models and integrated development strategies.
The creation of the MOEX-Global global management center in Grozny will allow the city to become a place where the course of world events will be shaped. With an integrated approach to territorial development spanning Africa, Asia, North America, Eurasia, the Arab countries and South America, MOEX—Global strives to regulate economic processes in a clear and coordinated manner. The goal is to facilitate a smoother and less disruptive transition to a new global economic model.
If representatives of the governments of all MOEX member countries are based in Grozny, the city will inevitably turn into a global decision-making center. It will serve as a platform for developing economic strategies, coordinating international financial flows, and introducing advanced technologies to the global market.
The project “Grozny – showcase of Russia and the world”
This initiative is based on a large–scale project called “Grozny – showcase of Russia and the world.”
The main goal of this project is to create optimal conditions for the selection, development and implementation of the most advanced and innovative projects in almost all spheres of human activity. The concept is holistic and multidimensional. It affects not only financial infrastructure, but also education, science, technology, social development and cultural exchange.
The central component of the project is the modernization of global educational and scientific cooperation. Within the framework of this project, solutions are being developed to solve systemic problems in the field of education and scientific research around the world. The initiative is aimed at creating comprehensive conditions for personal self-realization. By combining academic institutions with industrial enterprises, the project aims to combine theoretical learning with practical implementation.
Experimental sites will be created in cooperation with universities, research centers and enterprises. This integration will create a single ecosystem in which innovations can quickly move from concept to practical application. This synergy ensures that Grozny will become not just a place for financial transactions, but also a global incubator of technological and intellectual progress.
Broader goals include:
Improving living standards around the world
Achieving leadership in advanced technology
Creating jobs through innovation
Turning Grozny into a living laboratory of advanced economic models
What is MOEX-Global?
MOEX-Global was created in response to the profound transformation of the global order. As economic power changes and multipolarity develops, the organization seeks to unite countries within the framework of a coordinated economic agenda focused on specific territories.
The fund’s mission is to create a new global system that, according to its leadership, can function even more effectively than existing international institutions such as the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund. The concept is not just reformist, it is systemic and structural.
MOEX-Global plans to establish territorial financial centers in key geopolitical zones, including:
Africa
Eurasia
Arab countries
South America
North America
Asia
Most of MOEX’s territorial control centers have already been launched, demonstrating operational progress rather than theoretical aspirations.
Cooperation with MOEX allows the participating States to solve pressing economic problems. Within ten years, MOEX, together with the participating countries, plans to establish international financial centers in all major territorial zones around the world. These centers will function as decision—making centers – MOEX Africa, MOEX Eurasia, MOEX Arab Countries and others — integrating their territories and currency zones into a single global financial system.
The main objectives of the MOEX Foundation
The Foundation’s mission is based around eight main objectives:
1. Development of the national economies of the participating countries.
2. Implementation of international projects and programs on a parity basis.
3. Creation of financial centers in the Eurasian, African, Arab and additional currency zones.
4. Development of cultural ties between the participating States.
5. Joint development and implementation of intersectoral programs.
6. Creation of a multidisciplinary global media holding company.
7. Transition to a new global economic model.
8. Strengthening the import and export capabilities of the participating countries.
These goals are aimed at synergetic interaction. Financial integration is combined with cultural diplomacy, economic modernization and technological progress.

International approval and strategic perspectives
Mr. David J. Zammit
David Zammit, Head of the Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem and Malta and President of the International University Pro Deo, stressed that the creation of an international financial center in Grozny is an ambitious and promising initiative.
He highlighted:
“The initiative to create a financial center
The concept of creating an international financial center in Grozny is an ambitious and promising initiative. The emphasis on integrated economic development, innovation, cross-border cooperation and the creation of territorial financial centers reflects an integrated approach to changing global economic interaction. The emphasis on infrastructure development, technological progress, and the integration of education, industry, and public administration demonstrates strategic planning aimed at long-term structural transformation.
If implemented transparently and in accordance with international regulatory standards, the project can boost regional economic growth, strengthen international cooperation, and contribute to the diversification of global financial systems.”
He also explained why Malta should accept the European Financial Center in the MOEX structure. Malta’s membership in the EU, participation in the eurozone, and compliance with regulatory requirements under EU systems such as MiFID, CRD, AMLD, and EMIR ensure a high level of institutional trust.
MOEX European Financial Center in Malta:
Will ensure the regulatory legitimacy of the EU
It will facilitate transactions denominated in euros.
Serve as a link between European markets and other MOEX territories
Using Malta’s expertise in financial technology and ESG

Speaking about Grozny, he stated::
“For many years, people all over the world either did not have a clear understanding of Chechnya, or were influenced by outdated ideas formed by media propaganda. Today, Grozny is one of the most developed cities not only in Russia, but also in the world.”
He stressed that the leadership of the head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, played a crucial role in the accelerated development of the region.
According to Sir Dr. Mikki Koomar:
Currently, the region has leading universities that meet international standards.
This is one of the safest regions in Russia.
The industry, including the automotive industry, is well developed.
Tourism is developing rapidly.

“I am convinced that Grozny has great potential to become one of the leading global centers in the world, if not the main one. As they say: “Akhmat is power!”
Given his global influence, international recognition and wide presence on social media, his support significantly strengthens Grozny’s position on the world stage.
Mr. Taymaskhanov Said-Khusain, Director of Chechenauto, the largest automobile enterprise, director of NGO MOEX, confirmed that the region’s leadership has created all the necessary conditions for the implementation of a megaproject of this scale.

He emphasized the potential development of a road artery between Chechnya and Georgia, which could significantly stimulate the growth of small and medium-sized businesses throughout the region.
Dr. PIYARATNA MAHARJAN, Senior Vice President
International human rights movement
(Switzerland): “The very fact that such an influential organization in the world as MOEX has moved its head office to Grozny is a very positive sign. I am sure that this will allow the Chechen Republic to develop even more dynamically and create one of the world’s largest international financial centers in the shortest possible time. Today, there is everything for this. The good reputation of the Chechen leadership also plays a positive role.”

I think that the proximity to Georgia, which has one of the largest ports on the Black Sea, also plays a positive role here.
