The European Union has included the National Settlement Depository in the sanctions list, follows from the publication of the official journal of the European Union. It is the largest securities depository in Russia by market value of equity and debt securities, which has access to the international financial system.
“It plays a significant role in the functioning of the Russian financial system and its connection with the international financial system, which directly or indirectly allows the Russian government to conduct its activities,” the report says.
NSD is the central depository in Russia. It keeps records of ownership of securities, as well as settlements of transactions. He can manage not only Russian securities, but also foreign ones.

The Ministry of Finance expected to fulfill obligations on such issues in rubles with subsequent conversion into foreign currency for holders through NSD.
