The Russian news agency RosBusinessConsulting has been named among the most dynamically and consistently growing companies.

Moscow, May 25, 2004 - The Economic News Agency has published a list of Russia's most actively and consistently growing companies in 2003. RIA RosBusinessConsulting, a wholly owned information agency business of OAO RBC Information Systems (RTS, MICEX: RBCI), was named among the top ten media, news, advertising and consulting companies. It is the sixth time that RBC has been included in the list of companies delivering high growth rates over the 11 years of its existence.

The entrants were evaluated by the experts of the Economic News Agency, the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Association of Russian Banks, the All-Russian Union of Insurers, the National Association of Stock Market Participants, the Professional Institute of Placing and Circulation of Stock Market Instruments, as well as top managers and professionals from the leading media sources, analytical think tanks, large commercial firms and public organizations.

About 300 companies have been surveyed. The key criteria were not the amount of banks' assets, authorized capital and sales of companies, but their growth dynamics, position on the Russian market and development outlooks. Both publicly available data and assessment by qualified experts were used for the evaluation.
