INTEGRATING ESG PRINCIPLES INTO THE 2024 GROUP STRATEGY

MISSION AND PRIORITIES OF THE 2024 STRATEGY

In September 2023, the Moscow Exchange Supervisory Board approved the Group’s new development strategy until 2028.

In the context of external constraints, the new strategy is largely based on trends in the Russian market. These include the increasing role of the retail investor, who is becoming one of the key demand providers in a number of financial market segments, the development of digital financial asset (DFA) turnover, and the growing need of Russian companies to raise capital in the domestic market.

The development of capital markets is the most important priority of the new strategy. To promote this direction, the company will expand the list of instruments, including ESG products, and work to improve their liquidity. The company will focus on working with issuers to raise capital market financing for companies through equity, bond and DFA offerings, including through OTC and investment platforms.

The key provisions of the new development strategy naturally continue the previous strategies and are based on the strengths of Moscow Exchange’s business model and the key competences of its employees.

The 2028 Group Strategy outlines six priorities, among which three are business lines and three are success drivers.
