Problems and weaknesses of the BESP application: • using BESP is still fragmentary; a lot of banks announced as BESP participants are not actually using it; • - there were no incentives for the migration to the BESP in Moscow region;current regional “shift” system is covering most of the customers needs; • - the tariffs policy of the BESP is not stimulating; • - the costs of the development and support of the two payments systems at the same time in banking software are very high; there are no IT products ready to use – we developed it in-house; the intraday liquidity is divided between two systems (you need manually manage it). • BESP participants, currently using it, report sometimes technical failures; • “Initial liquidity problem” – no payments netting (as it is in the “shift” system), someone need to be first to move funds). 9th Russian Ruble Settlement Forum, London, 12.04.2011

Progress on the BESP application: • there is the Associate Member Participant (AMP) status, which solves some problems: it is easy for implementation, liquidity is on the one account; • - all banks became AMP automatically in the August of 2010, even not doing anything; clients could ask for BESP service from any bank; • - The ability to use BESP gives some advantages to the participants already (settlements to MICEX as an important example), intraday PvP settlements between participants in general; fast interregional payments. • - CBR announced that BESP will become the prime system for large interbank transactions; current 5 shift Moscow regional system will be abolished in 2013; • the payments order’s format will be moved to the form to match SWIFT requirements; the final compatibility is planed onfor August 2011; • CBR has a goal to include RUB to the list of CLS currencies (2013-2015?); 9th Russian Ruble Settlement Forum, London, 12.04.2011
Prospects of 2010’s IRSF: • BESP will be the main settlement system in Russia in 2011 – it is not a true yet • Prime Brokerage service for FX RUB trading will become available soon - done • RUB will be CLS currency in the reasonable future – CBR’s target: 2013-2015 • 2011’s insights: • BESP will become finally the main payment system in 2013, when old one will be substituted by new batch payments regional system. • Bank’s third party BEST payments services started to be offered. • Banks are using it more in ordinal business practice. 7th Russian Ruble Settlement Forum, London, 14.04.2010
