The market capitalisation of Gazprom, the world's largest gas
company, is now above 200 billion dollars and its share price
has risen 20 percent since the start of the year, Russian deputy
prime minister Dmitri Medvedev said on Thursday.
"On the markets, Gazprom's share price has increased almost
20 percent according to the RTS index (Moscow's benchmark stock
market) and its overall capitalisation exceeds 200 billion dollars,"
Russian news agencies quoted Medvedev as saying.
Medvedev, who is chairman of Gazprom's board, said the boom was
linked a decree signed in late December 2005 that, for the first
time, allows investors who are not resident in Russia to acquire
Gazprom shares.
