Last year was a year of significant change and important innovations at Moscow Exchange. The company successfully delivered on the key priorities set by the Supervisory Board, including: maintaining uninterrupted availability and reliability of MOEX’s services, development of the risk management system, automation of business processes, attracting retail investors and growing fee and commission income while also optimizing costs. Fee and commission income increased by 11% in 2019. The number of retail investors registered on the Exchange doubled during the year. Current expenses grew slower than fee and commission income, and were in line with guidance. In 2019, the Exchange completed delivery against its 2015–2020 strategy ahead of schedule. The most important project rolled out under this strategy was the Unified Collateral Pool, which allows market participants to create a single trading and clearing account with unified collateral requirements, settlement netting Oleg Viyugin and cross-margining across all markets. Other key elements of the Russian financial market infrastructure were modernized Chairman in line with international standards: listing and corporate governance of the Supervisory Board rules were reformed, and sponsored market access (SMA) was introduced on the equities, foreign exchange and derivatives markets. The Exchange expanded its product line with the launch of repo transactions with general collateral certificates (which became the fastest growing segment of the Money Market for a short time) and exchange-traded mutual funds, a product that quickly became popular with retail investors.

Russian M&A review 2017 3 Overview Although deal activity increased by 13% in 2017, the value of Russian M&A Deal was 12% lower than the previous activity 13% year, at USD66.9 billion, mainly due to an absence of larger deals. This was in particular reflected in the oil and gas sector, which in 2016 was characterised by three large deals with a combined value exceeding USD28 billion. The good news is that investors have adjusted to the realities of sanctions and lower oil prices, and sought opportunities brought by both the economic recovery and governmental efforts to create a new industrial strategy. 2017 saw a significant rise in the number and value of deals outside the Deal more traditional extractive industries value 37% and utility sectors, which have historically driven Russian M&A. Oil and gas sector is excluded If the oil and gas sector is excluded, then the value of deals rose by 37%, from USD35.5 billion in 2016 to USD48.5 billion in 2017.

Liquidity enables investors and issuers to meet their requirements in capital markets, be it an investment, financing, or hedging, as well as reducing investment costs and the cost of capital. Through this, liquidity has a lasting and positive impact on economies. While liquidity across many products remains high in developed markets, many emerging markets suffer from significantly low levels of trading venue liquidity, effectively placing a constraint on economic and market development. We believe that exchanges, regulators, and capital market participants can take action to grow liquidity, improve the efficiency of trading, and better service issuers and investors in their markets. The indirect benefits to emerging market economies could be significant.
