Until recently, the inter-regional center of the Federal Statistical Service was the main supplier of information to SPARK on Western Siberian companies.
"We believe that our joint operations with Interfax will promote the transparency of Siberian companies, the accessibility of information to investors, analysts and the entire business community and thus simplify access and operations on financial markets for companies," said Yevgeny Snegiryov, head of the regional division of the Federal Securities Commission in the Siberian Federal District.
"The addition of information on Siberian companies to the SPARK database, which combines data on legal entities registered in Russia, is part of the strategy of making products meeting the needs of key Russian regions the best," said Yelena Pochestneva, president of Interfax-Siberia news agency.
Under the agreement with Interfax, the regional division of the Federal Securities Commission regularly supplies quarterly reports of issuer companies, securities issue prospectuses and other information that has to be disclosed in keeping with laws on the securities market and the requirements of the Federal Securities Commission on information disclosure by securities‘ issuers on the securities market.
The information will be disclosed through Interfax‘s open internet resources (www.e-disclosure.ru) and also Russia‘s largest corporate database SPARK which it has formed.
Pochestneva said players on financial markets are showing special interest in companies operating in Siberia‘s largest cities, and a full database on Russian companies would be impossible without information about them.
In SPARK, Interfax has accumulated official information about all legal entities operating on Russian territory. All together, SPARK has files on over 2 million companies. The system also offers users unique possibilities for research and comparative analysis of all the data.
Company profiles include financial statements, production indicators, registration data, information about the management, milestone events, securities, etc.
The profiles of major corporations are promptly updated with reports received along official channels and information supplied by the companies themselves.
Banks, investment funds, brokerages, insurance, consulting, audit and manufacturing companies are the main users of SPARK.
