The discussion Stock Market: Present and Past took place within the Cheboksary Economic Forum.
"We plan to expand our reach to Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, i.e. form stock exchanges there. It must be a common trade space that uses ruble and not the local national currency. But local trading of the national currency will be provided for them," he said.
