The broker house stated that their decision to expand to Belarus was in part due to existing popularity for their products in Belarus and Commonwealth of Independent States which is made up of 10 post-Soviet republics in Eurasia region. The move is also a reaction to ESMA’s recent restrictions on leverage.
