Moscow's RTS stock exchange yesterday launched a new index based solely on Siberian based companies, creating what it said is the first ever regional stock index in Russia.
Its RTS Siberia Index tracks ten enterprises in the Siberian Federal District, including Norilsk Nickel, Gazprom Neft, Beon, Raspadskaya and MDM Bank.
The bourse said the index is also designed to meet the legal requirements for the composition of specialist investment funds.
