УрБК, Челябинск, 25.01.2007. «Закон о финансовых гарантиях туроператоров, прежде всего, направлен на монополизацию рынка.

‘The rating of Interregional Network Company (aka MRSK) is not taken into account by the investors at the moment,’ Andrei Korobitsin, Information Director of Blagodat Securities Investment Company, said to UrBC representative. According to Mr Korobitsin, this has to do with the current absence of the company’s shares on the market, which means investors have nothing to invest into. When the company is disaggregated, the number of shares will go up automatically, but the volume of the company’s funds is going to stay the same, so it will in the end become evident that attracting additional

Onyx chain store could not explain why two of their shops (located in Uralmash (north of the city) and at 101 Lenin Ave., right in the center of Yekaterinburg) closed down. The chain director Vladimir Bayazitov said to UrBC representative that those stores were not part of the chain, yet was unable to clarify why they had been using the company’s brand name.
