PLC Capital Markets multi-jurisdictional guide 2012/13

The main stock exchange in Russia is MICEX-RTS, located in Moscow. It trades equities, bonds, derivatives and currencies. MICEX-RTS was created by the merger of the previous two main Russian stock exchanges, MICEX and RTS on 19 December 2011 (see http://rts.micex.ru/en/).

Many Russian companies conducting initial public offerings (IPOs) include an offering of global depositary receipts (GDRs) or American depositary receipts (ADRs), which are listed outside of Russia, for example in London or New York. Russian companies listing GDRs or ADRs are required to list the underlying shares on MICEX-RTS first.
