More opportunities for investments: the NSSMC admitted securities of the S&P 500 index to circulation in Ukraine

Today, the NSSMC (National Securities and the Stock Market Commission) made a Resolution regarding the admission of securities included in the S&P 500 stock index to circulation on the territory of Ukraine.

The NSSMC is actively working on expanding the possibilities of investing in foreign financial instruments. The arrival of world-famous companies on the Ukrainian capital market is another step for its integration into international markets and increased investment for Ukraine.

The regulator has the right, on its own initiative, to admit securities that are included in stock indexes on the basis of the approved Regulation on admission of securities of foreign issuers to circulation on the territory of Ukraine.

Therefore, the NSSMC made a Resolution regarding the admission of 412 securities that are included in the S&P 500 stock index, and which can be registered on the account of PJSC «National Depository of Ukraine» opened at the international depository and clearing institution Clearstream Banking Luxembourg.

We will remind you that the S&P 500 is a stock index, the basket of which includes a little more than 500 US joint-stock companies with the largest capitalization. The shares of all companies are traded on the largest American stock exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. The stock index is deservedly called a barometer of the American economy.

As of December 29, 2022, a total of 96 securities of foreign issuers were admitted to circulation on the territory of Ukraine and 412 securities (S&P 500) admitted at the initiative of the NSSMC.
