This was stated by the first deputy chairman of the Russian Central Bank Vladimir Chistyukhin.

His words are quoted by Interfax.

He said that the governments of Luxembourg and Belgium decided to provide the largest depositary international system Euroclear with the opportunity to unblock part of Russian securities.

Chistyukhin specified that the permit is valid until January 7.

According to him, NSD is now trying to understand what this permission gives and what securities can be withdrawn from Euroclear to other depositories so that Russian investors will again have the right to use these assets.

On December 20, the Ministry of Finance of Luxembourg allowed the release of assets frozen due to sanctions against the National Settlement Depository, which is part of the Moscow Exchange group.
