Also recorded as: SPCEX SC · Санкт-Петербургская Валютная Биржа · СПВБ
A separate Russian currency/foreign-exchange trading venue (Saint-Petersburg Currency Exchange, SPCEX), distinct from the commodities-focused Saint-Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange; separately designated by Canada (SEMA, Schedule 1 Part 2, item 857).
Why the mix-up: Shares the 'Saint-Petersburg ... Exchange' name pattern with Saint-Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange; both are listed consecutively (items 856/857) on the same Canada SEMA sanctions list.
How to tell them apart:- Different institution type: currency/FX exchange (SPCEX) vs. commodities/mercantile exchange (SPIMEX)
- Separate Canada SEMA list item (857 vs. 856)
- SPB ExchangeSeparately listed entityRU
Also recorded as: Saint Petersburg Stock Exchange · PJSC SPB Exchange · СПБ Биржа
A separate Russian securities exchange (SPB Exchange, formerly Saint Petersburg Stock Exchange), distinct from the commodities-focused Saint-Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange; separately designated by Canada (SEMA, Schedule 1 Part 2, item 855) and carries a US OFAC SDN registration number (1097800000440) under its own separate record.
Why the mix-up: Shares the 'Saint Petersburg'/'SPB' + 'Exchange' name pattern with Saint-Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange; both are Russian exchanges listed consecutively (items 855/856) on the same Canada SEMA sanctions list, so a name-only screen for '...Petersburg...Exchange' could conflate the two.

- Separate Canada SEMA list item (855 vs. 856)
- Separately carries a US OFAC SDN registration number (1097800000440) not present on SPIMEX's listing
