The new owners of the assets of outgoing foreign companies, which bought them at a discount, must place 20% of the acquired shares on the stock market. This decision was made by the commission and the subcommittee for the control of foreign investment, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov told Izvestia.
Therefore, the authorities intend to stimulate the financial market by creating more instruments, including for private investors. This is relevant in connection with plans to launch a long-term savings program that will allow Russians to save for the future.
Experts believe that such a decision can contribute to the appearance of incentives on the stock market, but it is important what the implementation mechanism will be and whether so many foreign companies leave the Russian market forever.
- In mid-June, at SPIEF, Vladimir Putin said that part of the assets of foreign companies leaving Russia should be listed on the stock exchange. According to his president, it is necessary to “unleash the potential” of the Russian stock market. He also urged to simplify the relocation in the Russian Federation of companies registered abroad.
