The Federal Anti-Monopoly Service is proposing that strategic state companies be allowed to place up to 25 percent of their stock on foreign exchanges without having to secure the approval of the governmental commission for oversight of foreign investment in strategic sectors, the service's chief Igor Artemyev said Wednesday.
"We think it should be 25 percent without commission approval," he said.
Artemyev said the next meeting of the commission for foreign investment might take place in April. He added that the commission might look at other options, and "maybe they'll allow 50 percent."

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
