Nonprofit Partnership Stock Exchange "Saint-Petersburg" was created in April 1997 for the purpose of organizing securities trading, and became the first licensed stock exchange in Russia. In 1998 it became one of the four trading floors authorized to organize trading in stocks of Gazprom. The derivatives market created by Saint-Petersburg Exchange was the only derivatives market that survived the financial crisis of 1998 without a single suspension of trading or default; on its basis FORTS, the leading Russian derivatives market, was developed. In 2001, FORTS was purchased by RTS Stock Exchange. To facilitate further development of the business, in January 2009 the partnership was restructured into Open Joint Stock Company "Saint-Petersburg Exchange", whereby all the partnership members became shareholders of Saint-Petersburg Exchange (SPBEX). Starting from February 2011, Saint-Petersburg Exchange and Moscow Exchange (RTS Stock Exchange at that time) have been working together on a project to develop on-exchange trading in futures contracts on commodities at Saint-Petersburg Exchange. The exchange's official homepage identifies the entity as АО «Восточная биржа» and states it was founded on 31 January 1991.

The only Russian stock exchange where Gazprom shares are listed; the first licensed stock exchange in Russia.
