Since the beginning of the year Gazprom’s capitalization has increased by almost 24 per cent

“In 2012 the Gazprom shares continue steadily growing and remain in high demand on the stock market owing largely to the Company's current affairs. Thus, since the beginning of the year Gazprom's capitalization has increased by almost 24 per cent and stands at some USD 158 billion placing the Company in the 7th position among the global energy companies. This confirms our predictions that during at least the first six months investors will keep staking on Gazprom.”
