Russian Divestment. New Moves

What is happening? Massachusetts Speaker announced new optimism in divesting from businesses that have a Russian financial interest. Massachusetts pensions say they need legislative authority to divest.

Why is this important? When Massachusetts first announced Russian divestment, the Russian stock exchange was not opened and it was unsure whether the Russian stock market would reopen.

How will this be important? The now open Russian stock market gives states the opportunity to divest.
