The merger between Barrick Gold (domiciled in Canada and dual-listed on the New York and Toronto Stock Exchanges) and Randgold Resources (domiciled in Jersey and dual-listed on the London and Nasdaq Stock Exchanges), announced last month and still awaiting shareholder and regulatory approvals, will create a “superpower” in the gold industry. This is the view of Fitch Solutions Macro Research, which is part of the Fitch Group.
