Number of shareholders and economic entityТs net asset worth should be noted among the abolished requirements. Audits of 2004 revealed a great deal of problems with regard to these parameters in asset management companies which began to invest pension accruals for the first time. Among new regulations which are worth notice were shares capitalization requirements differentiated for common shares and preferred shares. There were no special requirements established for preferred shares in the previous periods. Since 1 July, capitalization of issuerТs common shares must be not less than RUR billion instead of 300 RUR million under the previous requirements. The threshold for preferred shares was established at 3 RUR billion level.

Let us consider how the new requirements may effect the current stock exchange listings In quarter 2, the MICEX (Moscow International Currency Exchange) listings included common shares of 17 issuers and the RTS (Russian Commodity Exchange) listings included 7 issuers in quarter 2 of 2005. All these issuers were included into the А1 listings at the MICEX. At the same time, GAZPROM shares were included into the А1 listings at the Moscow Stock Exchange (МSE). As of The Russian Federal Financial Market Service. Order No. 04-1245/пз-н of 15 December 2004 УOn Approval of the Provision on Organization of Trading in the Securities MarketФ (Hereinafter referred to as the RFFMS Order) April 2005, 15 of 18 companies met the new capitalization criterion ( see Table 2 ). Common shares of YUTK and Yakutskenergo have small chances to remain in the primary listings of the MICEX after the new requirements take effect13. Neither do Interural meet the new requirements with its common share capitalization varying at nearly 0.5 RUR billion level.

The MICEX А1 listings also include preferred shares of 10 issuers. Shares of two issuers - YUTK and Samarenergo - are unlikely to meet the new criterion of capitalization of not less than 3 RUR billion ( see Table 3 ).

Capitalization of these companies was calculated on the basis of the highest price at which their shares were traded in quarter 1, 2005: 9.6 RUR billion for YUTK and 9.1 RUR billion for Yakutskenergo.

Exclusion of 3 issuers would reduce the overall capitalization by less than 1%.

From the point of view of the term, only 3 latest months must be taken into account from now on, rather than the latest 6 ones, and the RFFMS began to calculate the monthly average transactions in shares. At the same time, the minimum value of this parameter was increased by mother than 10 times from 2 to RUR million. Another few issuers of the A1 listings may be excluded under the new requirements. At least 4 companies of those who meet the common share capitalization volume requirement and one company that meet the preferred share capitalization volume requirement failed to reach the required threshold of monthly average trading volume at the MICEX excluding bargaining transactions ( BT )15 over the first three months of 2005 ( see Tables 2 and 3 ). Only one issuer ( Mikhailovsky GOK ) reached the required level of BT transactions.

The majority of issuers may face difficulties with being retained in the primary stock exchange listings due to the new calculation requirement for monthly trading volume, since trading volumes are subject to considerable fluctuations each month. So, Sibirtelecom preferred shares, in addition to Baltica Brewery, Mikhailovsky GOK, Volga Telecom and Samarenergo, may face problems with being retained in primary stock exchange listings due to its transaction volume being below the required level in one of the three months registered.

The А1 listings at the MICEX may be reduced by 8 to 9 items as a result of the new requirements related to shares.

Another instrument permitted for investment of pension accruals - corporate bonds - is represented in the MICEX A1 stock exchange listings by 17 securities issued by 13 issuers, its total volume of issues being equal to 51.5 RUR billion. The majority of issues meet both new requirements established by the RFFMS for size of issue and monthly trading volume ( see Table 4 ). Only three issuers with total volume of issues being 2.5 RUR billion fail to pass the test on the size of bond issue.

All issuers would comply with the average monthly trading volume criterion if it were not for the new requirements established on 1 April. However, two companies also failed to meet the required level for bonds, RAO EES of Russia in January and VolgaTelecom in February. LUKOIL bonds began to Trading regulations allow both addressed and non-addressed applications.

At present, the listings include 55 bond issues of 21 issuers, two of which being municipalities ( see Table ). Total nominal value of subfederal issues equals to about 131 RUR billion, of which 84 RUR billion are the bonds issued by the Moscow Government. Total value of municipal bonds equals to 4.3 RUR billion.

Subfederal bonds of 15 issues of 11 issuers totaling more than 7 RUR billion ( i.e. 6% of the total value of issues) do not meet the new issue criterion of 1 RUR billion. Two out of 4 issues of municipal bonds do not meet the issue volume criterion, both were issued by the Krasnoyarsk Government.

The RFFMSТs УProvision on Organization of Trading in the Securities MarketФ provides no direct reference on how to calculate transactions volume in this case.

** these bonds were placed in March 2005.

The calculations were made on the basis of the data obtained from the MICEX.

A series of bond issuers among those which met the issue volume criterion, failed to meet the monthly transaction volume (excluding BT) of 10 RUR million by the end of quarter 1. In addition, no transactions were registered whatsoever with two issues of Moscow Government Bonds 1 ( 36 and 43 ) in quarter 1. The same is true with the 2nd issue bonds of the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast Government, but they were placed in April 2005. In general, the minimum trading volumes were registered in January, when there were few working days available ( see Table 5 ). On the other hand, the new trading volume calculation rules will require to take into account the trading figures of May, when the number of working days was below the average as well.

In addition to the MICEX, the SPCE ( Saint-Petersburg Currency Exchange ) is another stock exchange where subfederal and municipal bonds are also traded. However, the SPCE А1 listings include only a single bond issuer, Saint-Petersburg ( SP GIO bonds). The listings include 16 issues ( see Table 6 ) totaling 19 RUR billion. Eleven of these issues still remain below 1 RUR billion in volume in spite of the ongoing campaign on consolidation of issues launched by the Financial Committee. The market treats such issues as unattractive and considers less liquid in general. However, the trading statistics of SP GIO bonds at the SPCE provide no solid prove to this opinion. Transaction volume of 5 out of 11 issues with the volume being not less than 1 RUR billion exceeded the new RFFMS criterion during quarter 1 of 2005.

By the time when the new regulations take effect, one of small issues will have been redeemed. Exclusion of 10 other issues from the А1 listings will reduce by quarter the total number of the currently A1 listed issues ( from 19 down to 14 RUR billion ).
