The Central Bank has issued a new directive setting out the mandatory reserves for a credit organisation's obligations under each category (for example, obligations to non-resident legal entities and individuals, and other obligations in rubles or foreign currencies).
On 17 September 2009 the Central Bank issued Directive No. 2295-U regarding mandatory reserves required for various obligations of credit organisations. The Directive will enter into force on 1 November 2009.
The Directive provides that the mandatory reserves for a credit organisation's obligations under each category (that is, obligations to non-resident legal entities and individuals, and other obligations in rubles or foreign currencies) will be 2.5% as of 1 November 2009, being the same as the current amount.
As of 1 November 2009, the so-called averaging co-efficient is set at 0.6 (and is 1 for non-banking credit organisations), which is also unchanged from the current co-efficients.
