  4. Development of FX SWAPs and Forwards at MICEX-RTS

  5. SWAP and Forward Markets in London and Russia Average daily volume and the structure of USD/RUB swaps in Russia, USD million Russian FX swapsand forwards market in comparison with international market • In 2010 average daily global turnover in FX swaps totaled $1765billion andin FX forwards – $475 billion. • According to BIS, swaps with maturity less than 1 week accounted for 74% of the FX swap market, from 1 week to 1 year – 25% and over 1 year – 1% of the market. • In 2010 the share of cross currency swaps with maturity over 1 week in developed countries accounts for 20-30% : • USA - 28% • UK - 26%. • In 2011 The share of long-term swaps in the UK USD/RUB swaps market exceeds 30%. • Long-term (over 1 week) swaps have a quite small market share in Russia – just 3-4% of the FX swap market. • According to the Bank of Russia’s and the Bank of England’s official data for 2011, long-term USD/RUB swaps trading volume was almost 4 times higher in London than in Russia. • Russian banks must apply position limits against each other as well as sign the General Agreement and to enter into long-term cross-currency swaps on-shore. Bilateral limits between Russian banks are not sufficient to make long term OTC deals. If a counterparty on swap deal will go bankrupt it causes serious problems to bona fide side. • As a result, most of the deals are conducted overseas and involve the use of various synthetic instruments. Less than 1 week 98,0% 366 068 1 week to 1 year 1,8% 6 650 Over 1 year 0,2% 645 USD/RUB swaps (Russia) Average daily volume and the structure of USD/RUB swaps in UK, USD million Less than 1 week 69,7% 66 387 1 week to 1 month 8,1% 7 699 1 month to 6 months 16,1% 15 287 6 months to 1 year 4,0% 3 794 USD/RUB swaps (UK) Over 1 year 2,1% 2 020 Sources: The Bank of Russia ‘s data based on BIS andUnited Kingdom's Foreign Exchange Joint Standing Committee (FXJSC)methodology (as of April, 2011)

  6. Ruble SWAP Market Has High Potential for Growth Total volume of USD/RUB swaps (short and long positions) made by Russian banks, USD billion High potential for growth of Ruble swaps and forwards and necessary prerequisites to develop the market on-shore • As of the end of December, 2011, the outstanding volume of USD/RUB swaps and forwards concluded by Russian banks totaled $115 billion. • In 2011 the overall volume of USD/RUB swaps (short and long positions) made by Russian banks grew 31% against 2010 to more than $4 trillion. • Until recently, the low share of long-term swaps on the Russian market was explained by the general underdevelopment of the derivatives market in Russia. • Due to small limits on long-term instruments, risks of counterparty bankruptcy, insufficient OTC risk management Russian banks prefer to operate off-shore or create synthetic swaps on international markets. • A substantial volume of USD/RUB derivative transactions is made on the CME . Monthly volumes exceeded USD 9 billion. • Key issues that have to be resolved in order to significantly increase on-shore market share for the long-term USD/RUB swaps are as follows: a) removing counterparty risk; b) protecting bona fide side of the deal; c) introduction of sound risk management • What MICEX-RTS could offer to participants: • The CCP's services • Sound risk-management system • These factors should facilitate the creation of the exchange-traded cross currency swaps market in Russia. • Our expecting market share with long-term swaps is 15-20% against current 3-4% of the domestic swap market. • Sources: The Bank of Russia’s data based on BIS& СМЕT methodology. USD/RUB derivatives trading volume on the CME, USD billion
