OREANDA-NEWS. The Supervisory Board of National Settlement Depository (NSD), Russia’s central securities depository, approved the company’s Budget of Income, Expenditures and Profit for 2014, the Budget of Investments of NSD for 2014 and the list of priority products of NSD for 2014.

The company’s Supervisory Board approved the new version of the Rules of Clearing Operations of NSD. The updated document is to be put into effect after its registration by the Bank of Russia.

The Rules of Clearing Operations now incorporate changes related to the clarified procedure of NSD's interactions with clearing participants during operations conducted in trade depository accounts and trade bank accounts and also during clearing operations conducted using bank accounts opened by the clearing participants and their clients with foreign banks. The changes are also related to a description of details of clearing services provided during clearing operations on the credit organizations’ direct repos with the Bank of Russia concluded on the exchange market. The company developed standard forms of documents which shall be submitted by clearing participants to NSD; the new forms will be placed on the company’s web site.

The Supervisory Board approved the new versions of the Terms and Conditions of Depository Operations and NSD’s Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Rules (on 6 December 2013, both documents were approved by the Customer Committee/CSD Customer Committee). The new documents will be put in force as soon as NSD receives the Bank of Russia’s approval.

The new version of the Terms and Conditions of Depository Operations has been developed due to the recent changes in Russian law, in particular, to the clarified procedure of opening and maintaining the depository sub-accounts, the accounts of the nominees’ clients, broker accounts, as well as the procedure of paying yield on securities and associated taxes by NSD as a tax agent. In addition to that, the time for receipt of electronic orders was extended till 8pm.

The EDI Rules have been updated due to prohibition against use of the non-qualified certificates of the electronic signature verification keys issued for a legal entity without indicated name of its authorized representative. In the meantime, the new EDI strengthen the EDI Participants’ responsibility for the improper use of the qualified certificates of the keys issued for a legal entity without indicated name of the authorized representative.
