In the conditions of globalization of the economic environment, the integration processes of the international capital markets are intensifying, which envisages the possibility of placing securities in foreign markets. This gives some benefits to national investors and issuers. These benefits include: scaling up the attraction of investors’ financial resources; strengthening of the business reputation and issuer’s credit rating; Successful placement of shares in the international market contributes to the increase of profits.

International listing of shares increases the prestige and image of the issuer. The main motivation of most companies entering the foreign capital markets is only financial – they plan to increase their capital in the markets of highly developed countries and increase the liquidity of their shares. International listing provides new markets for more active securities that do not require detailed reporting and have significant liquidity. In some cases, the introduction of international listing increases the value of the company’s shares. As a rule, this happens more often in the US, when the market value of shares is higher than that existing on the issuer’s market. Moreover, the fact of an increase in the number of investors who buys company shares increases the liquidity of shares, narrowing the spread. That is, the main motive for stock quotes abroad is to increase the value of its capital and liquidity of shares, which will eventually give an opportunity to attract additional capital. All this contributes to the growth of the number of national companies that market their shares on foreign stock exchanges.
