The Exchange’s shift to T+2 settlement, as well as the establishment of Centralized Clearing and a Central Securities Depository, have paved the way for direct market access for foreign investors to trade Russian securities on Moscow Exchange.
International investors, through the new exchange infrastructure, will be able to trade equities, while collateral for trading can be posted in Russian Roubles, securities, as well as US Dollars and Euros.
Andrey Shemetov, deputy CEO of Moscow Exchange commented: "Our migration to T+2 marks a new phase of Moscow’s integration into the group of the main global financial centers. Investors from around the world can now trade Russian assets directly in a more convenient way. As we look ahead our key objectives are to further modernize our infrastructure, broaden our product offering and increase liquidity across our markets".
