Investors in Russia's ruble-denominated government bonds should be able to settle transactions through Euroclear Bank by the second half of next year, Federal Service for Financial Markets chief Dmitry Pankin said Tuesday.
President Dmitry Medvedev is likely to sign a law allowing the creation of a central depositary by the end of the year, and regulations will be in place allowing the bonds, known as OFZs, to be traded via Euroclear about six to nine months later, Pankin said

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
