Sergei Shestakov, who is the deputy CEO of Prognoz, previewed these plans to the media at the end of May. At the time, he said that the company was planning an IPO in the next five years.
Prognoz mainly operates in Russia, but caters to plenty of foreign clients.
It has offices in nine countries, including the United States, Canada, Belgium, China, Zambia, and some C.I.S. countries.
