Which exchange was founded in 2011 through the merger of Russia's MICEX and RTS?

The Moscow Exchange was founded in 2011 through the merger of Russia’s MICEX and RTS.

MICEX and RTS had been Russia’s two principal financial-market groups, serving overlapping but historically distinct roles. Their combination created a unified venue for trading equities, bonds, currencies, and derivatives. The exchange was initially known as the Moscow Exchange MICEX-RTS before adopting its shorter name.

The Moscow Exchange is headquartered in Moscow and is commonly abbreviated MOEX. It should not be confused with the Saint Petersburg Exchange, which is a separate Russian trading venue. The merger was intended to consolidate market infrastructure and improve the efficiency of trading and settlement.
