The new chief executive of Otkritie, the Russian banking group best known in London for its direct market access to the Moscow stock exchange, has said the company will focus on its domestic market ahead of any broader international expansion.

Ruben Aganbegyan, who became chief executive of Otkritie Financial Corporation in September after stepping down as the president of the newly-combined Micex-RTS exchange, spoke to Financial News about the firm's growth plans.
