- A Big Board For Moscow

- <body>
- <p> In typical Soviet fashion, perestroika took another lurching
- step forward last week. TASS, the government news agency,
- announced formation of a Moscow Stock Exchange, the first since
- 1917. The new exchange already has 187 prospective companies
- and banks. Soviet securities will be represented overseas by
- international brokerage firms. And Moscow's Big Board plans to
- open offices in other world financial capitals, like Tokyo and
- New York.
- </p>
- <p> A detail still to be ironed out: building the exchange. A
- site has been chosen, but officials don't know when
- construction will be done, what it will look like or when
- trading will begin. Talk about speculative.
