Moscow Exchange will launch an index of shareholder value creation for companies

Moscow Exchange, together with the Bank of Russia, has launched a shareholder value creation program. Shares of companies participating in the program will be included in a separate index, which is planned to be launched by mid-summer. In order to be included in the index, a company must be selected according to three key criteria: corporate governance, the level of information transparency of the issuer and its financial and economic indicators. It will be necessary to confirm compliance with these requirements at least once a year.
