On Tuesday, the RTS Board of Directors considered an issue on the priority development projects, as Anatoly Gavrilenko, Chairman of the Partnership’s Board of Directors and Chairman of the Supervisory Board, ALOR Group of Companies, reported to journalists that day.

“Almost everything that had been proposed by Roman (Goryunov, President of RTS – Interfax) was supported by the Board of Directors,” he said.

Goryunov said to reporters, that the agenda included the Partnership’s development projects by July 2013.

According to him, RTS will develop in three directions: the market marketing in order to increase a number of investors, support of new services and projects creation aimed to decrease costs and increase effectiveness of the market actors. In particular, a number of marketing projects will be executed together with the market actors and Russian stock exchanges, as Goryunov noted.

“A project on distant conclusion of broking agreements with an electronic digital signature has been discussed and finally adopted,” he said.

As he explained, this project plans to involve a network of RTS-Tender ‘s (belongs to RTS) partners in a number of 300 locations throughout the country to issue e-signatures.

As Goryunov said, the RTS Board of Directors engaged managers to provide products of this kind during the upcoming year in a sector of creating new services”.

Answering a question on what new projects are here to be presented in the nearest future, he said “Potato futures”, but never specified the timeline for introduction of this new tool.

Goryunov reported, an opportunity of creating a “product holding” with the RTS participation together with other interested companies as well as Russian stock exchanges is being discussed in frames of decreasing the tender participants’ costs.

“We plan to see an independent legal body that will hold a block of shares in different product exchanges,” he said focusing on a fact that the RTS Partnership is ready to invest its block of Mosenergo Exchange shares into the holding.

According to him, Moscow Stock Exchange, in particular, will be offered to participate in this project.

Goryunov also reported that NP RTS is currently researching an opportunity to provide outsourcing services in broker infrastructure. “It is quite an interesting idea. We’ll see what services are really popular,” he said.

In his opinion, these services will be vital for organizations with small broker business. “Today broker companies tend to turn into telecom providers,” he believes.
