The negative dynamics of stock indexes resulted in a drop of the stock market’s capitalization over the month by 3.71%; however, Blue Chips demonstrated growth to 9.07% per month and to 13.81% per annum. The situation on Russia’s domestic corporate bond market remained stable. On the whole, in April both the market volume and market index were on the rise; investor activity on the primary and secondary market segments continued to be high. The emitters were punctually fulfilling their obligations to their bond holders.
