"Companies from the financial and non-financial sectors were among the applicants for inclusion in the Program," notes Ekaterina Abasheeva, Director of the Bank of Russia's Corporate Relations Department. "Following the review of applications, several issuers demonstrating the necessary institutional quality were selected. We hope that they will grow into a new generation of blue chips — companies that adhere to high standards of corporate governance and are interested in increasing their investment attractiveness. Together with the Moscow Exchange, we will continue to work on forming a pool of high-quality issuers participating in the Program."
The decision to include shares in the index is made by a committee, which includes representatives of the Bank of Russia, Moscow Exchange, and the Analytical Credit Rating Agency. The committee evaluates corporate governance, the level of information transparency of the issuer, and its financial and economic indicators. The status of a participant in the Program must be confirmed at least once a year. Issuers whose shares are included in the first or second level of the Moscow Exchange listing can participate in it.
