We believe this strategic co-operation will enrich our product portfolio.
Igor Marich, Managing Director and Member of Executive Board at Moscow Exchange, said: "We are keen to strengthen our partnership with SSE through that market data dissemination agreement. Development of links with Chinese financial market as well as our business with market data are the strategic priorities for Moscow Exchange. For the last years we have made tremendous progress in building RMB-RUB market on MOEX and MOEX market data dissemination in China helps us with attracting Chinese investors to Moscow Exchange."
