Interfax wins Financial Olympus Awards
The Interfax International Information Group has won the 2004 Financial Olympus Award for its development of a system of professional market and company analysis (SPARK), a product for financial market dealers.
SPARK, Russia‘s largest database on companies, is the first pool of official information on nearly all registered legal entities in Russia (more than 2 million companies), including data from the Federal State Statistics Service, the Federal Tax Service under the Finance Ministry, the Federal Service for Financial Markets, and the Industry and Energy Ministry. In contrast to other databases, SPARK targets a comparative analysis of companies and assessment of the markets they work on."SPARK has given Interfax access to a new segment on the information market," SPARK Project Director Roman Laba said at the award ceremony. "We are happy that our project was so highly assessed by players on the financial market just months after it was launched," Laba said.
