The Central Bank also plans to carefully study the license issued by the NSD to the European regulator.
The unfreezing of NSD’s assets by Luxembourg became known a day earlier. The permit issued by the country’s finance ministry is valid under the EU license and requires liquidations with frozen assets to be completed before January 7 of next year, that is, within the next two and a half weeks.
The EU introduced sanctions against the NRM in early June this year. The sanctions limited the conversion of depositary receipts of Russian companies, as a result, Russian assets worth 17.5 billion euros turned out to be “hung”.
