National Settlement Depository (NSD), Russia's only settlement depository servicing the full range of debt and equity securities of Russian issuers, reports that on 25 July it filed an application for getting the central depository status to Russia's FFMS.

The first set of NSD's documents includes the documents confirming NSD's compliance with the requirements to an applicant for the central depository status, as well as the Regulations on the National Settlement Depository Customer Committee (Central Securities Depository Customer Committee) and the company's Code of Professional Ethics which were approved by the Supervisory Board of NSD on 25 July.

The remaining documents will be sent to the Federal Financial Markets Service (FFMS) after approval in compliance with Russian law.
