The global crisis has become a serious challenge not only for all participants in the financial market, but also for its settlement infrastructure.

With the aim of transforming Moscow into an international financial centre and attracting foreign investors to the Russian financial market, new legislation on foreign securities circulation was adopted in 2009. According to many professional participants, this could significantly change the structure of the Russian financial market and considerably expand the range of services provided. The new services, transition to ISO standards, and further initiatives will be presented and discussed at the road show of the Russian market.
