Clearstream and Deutsche Bank, partners in the Russian market for 6 years, continue to facilitate market openness in the region. Clearstream, via its Russian agent Deutsche Bank Ltd. Moscow, now has successfully settled its first domestic government bond transaction on an over-the-counter (OTC) basis. This type of transaction represents a significant step forward in the liberalisation of the Russian government bond market: Clearstream customers can now safekeep Russian government bonds (OFZ bonds) in addition to Russian equities. The expansion of the service for Russia has been made possible by recent changes in the local securities market regulation. The changes were developed through close collaboration between local market participants and regulators.
