Ruben Aghanbekyan Will Be Appointed As Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange CEO

Ruben Aghanbekyan, son of the Armenian academician Abel Aghanbekyan, will from June 21 head the Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange, according to a release issued by the MICE.

He will substitute in this position Konstantin Korishenko, the current president of the Exchange.

Ruben Aghanbekyan is currently the Deputy Chief Executive Officer in Renaissance Capital – a Russian investment company.

The release also says the MICE shareholders have decided to introduce changes that will see the functions of senior managers separated. Korishenko, who has for the recent year combined the positions of president and CEO of MICE, will from now on be occupying the position of president only.

“The decision is accounted by the MICE strategy in an attempt to create a holding structure and pass into joint shares,” reads the release.
