The first deputy general director of the St. Petersburg Stock Exchange, Evgeny Serdyukov, will replace Roman Goryunov as general director, the trading platform said in a statement.
Goryunov will also leave the board of directors of the St. Petersburg Stock Exchange. He became CEO of the exchange in 2021, before the company’s initial public offering.
The new CEO will reportedly continue to work primarily with counterparties to establish procedures for action in case of sanctions.
“The main and main task of the St. Petersburg Stock Exchange is to provide investors with access to assets,” the platform said in a statement.
After this, the trading platform will begin to implement a new development strategy, within the framework of which it will focus on trading investment instruments with settlement in rubles and develop projects on the Russian financial market.
Evgeny Serdyukov headed SPB Exchange since 2012 for nine years. Under his leadership, the foreign securities market was created and developed and liquidity was created.
- On November 2, the SPB Exchange suspended operations after being included on the US sanctions list. Against the background of the news, the site’s shares fell sharply. The SPB Exchange website was unavailable for some time.
- On November 6, transactions on the site could only be carried out with 28 Russian securities, including shares from the St. Petersburg Stock Exchange itself. At the same time, the exchange announced that it was carrying out compliance procedures and consulting with Russian and foreign counterparts to resume operations.
