Regulation on the Depositary Accounting of State Securities Issued through the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic

The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic issued this Regulation to establish a two-tier depositary accounting system for state securities and National Bank notes processed through its automated trading platform. It defines the respective functions of the Head Depositary and Sub-depositories, specifies the classification of "depo" accounts and sub-balances for tracking ownership, collateral, and frozen securities, and mandates electronic orders with digital signatures as the primary legal basis for all depositary operations. The framework ensures completeness, temporal certainty, and structural independence while standardizing reporting obligations and operational grounds for securities accounting.

Principle of completeness and accuracy. All securities operations are fully and accurately reflected in the depositary accounting system.

The mandatory elements of an accounting entry for a completed operation are the time of execution and the time of reflection in the depositary accounting system.

Principle of separate accounting. Securities of different issuances, including those encumbered with obligations, are accounted for separately from each other.

Principle of structural independence. The existence of a two-tier system of registering organizations - the Head Depositary and Sub-depositories.

  1. Participants of Depositary Operations

  2. For the purposes of this Regulation, participants of depositary operations are understood to be Depositaries and depositors. Depositaries are divided into the Head Depositary and Sub-depositories.

  3. The National Bank acts as the Head Depositary, which:

  • opens accounts for the corresponding issuance upon issuance of securities;
  • stores documents on the issuance and redemption of securities;
  • opens "depo" accounts for depositors in the Head Depositary;
  • transfers securities during their secondary circulation between Sub-depositories and depositors;
  • closes accounts for the corresponding issuance upon maturity of securities;
  • collectively accounts for securities in Sub-depositories by the "depo" account of that Sub-depository belonging to depositors;
  • controls the activities of Sub-depositories and establishes the procedure for conducting depositary operations with securities;
  • has the right to confirm ownership rights to securities belonging to its depositors.
  1. Depositors of the Head Depositary are Sub-depositories, the Ministry of Finance of the Kyrgyz Republic, the National Bank, and other legal entities in cases established by the legislation of the Kyrgyz Republic.

  2. Sub-depositories include commercial banks, institutional investors, specialized financial-credit organizations, and other securities market participants that have concluded corresponding contracts with the National Bank and which:

  • perform depositary accounting for securities belonging to the Sub-depository;
  • ensure storage and accounting of rights to securities belonging to their depositors;

  • perform depositary accounting for securities transferred as collateral;
  • credit securities to their depositors' accounts upon primary issuance;
  • conduct separate accounting for the securities of each depositor;

(As amended by the Resolution of the Board of the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic dated May 23, 2018 No. 2018-P-15/18-1)

  1. Depositors of a Sub-depository may be holders of securities - legal or natural persons of the Kyrgyz Republic, or another state, to whom securities belong by ownership right, who are trustees of securities, as well as persons to whom securities are transferred for storage in cases provided by the legislation of the Kyrgyz Republic.

  2. Types of "Depo" Accounts and List of Conducted Operations

  3. Accounting and storage of securities in the Head Depositary are carried out on "depo" accounts opened for Sub-depositories after concluding corresponding contracts with the National Bank.

  4. For the purpose of maintaining analytical accounting within a "depo" account, one sub-account "depo" is opened for each Sub-depository to account for its own securities, and sub-accounts "depo" to account for the securities of its depositors.

  5. The own sub-account "depo" is opened for accounting and storage of securities belonging by ownership right to the Sub-depository. The depositor's sub-account "depo" of a Sub-depository is intended for accounting for securities belonging to or transferred to the depositor.

  6. Types of sub-accounts "depo" for depositors. Accounting for securities of depositors of a Sub-depository is carried out in the Depositary by the following sections of sub-accounts "depo" depending on the type of depositor:

  • legal entities-residents financial;
  • legal entities-residents non-financial;
  • legal entities-non-residents financial;
  • legal entities-non-residents non-financial;
  • natural persons-residents;
  • natural persons-non-residents.
  1. Maintaining accounting information about depositors, their operations, and balances is within the responsibility of Sub-depositories.

  2. Sub-balances. To account for securities within each sub-account "depo", sub-balances are opened. Accounting within sub-accounts "depo" is carried out by the following sub-balances:

  • frozen securities;
  • blocked securities;
  • available instruments received as collateral;
  • investment;
  • pledge in favor of the pledgee;
  • pledge for National Bank loans;
  • reserve. The sub-balance "Frozen securities" is intended for accounting for securities blocked or frozen by order of the Head Depositary or an authorized state body of the Kyrgyz Republic. Securities from this sub-balance cannot be used by depositors for current operations of purchase, sale, pledge, and intra-position transfers. Intra-position transfers for this sub-balance may be carried out only by the Head Depositary. The sub-balance "Blocked securities" is intended for accounting for securities blocked during the execution of "delivery versus payment" transactions. Securities from this sub-balance cannot be used by participants for current operations of purchase, sale, pledge, and intra-position transfers. The sub-balance "Available instruments received as collateral" is intended for accounting for securities purchased under repo operations. Securities obtained from another participant within repo operations may be used for current operations of the participant: purchase/sale on repo terms, pledge, and intra-position transfers without restrictions within the balance. The sub-balance "Investment" accounts for securities belonging to the depositor by ownership right. Securities from this sub-balance may be used for current operations of purchase, sale, pledge, and intra-position transfers without restrictions within the balance. Redemption of securities is carried out only from the "Investment" sub-balance. The sub-balance "Pledge without transfer of ownership rights to Securities" accounts for securities blocked in favor of the pledgee. Securities from this sub-balance cannot be used for current operations of purchase, sale, pledge, and intra-position transfers. The sub-balance "Pledge with transfer of ownership rights" is used for accounting for securities pledged within "intraday" and "overnight" loans, which cannot be used for current operations of purchase, sale, pledge, and intra-position transfers. Securities are transferred to this sub-balance after loans are issued. The sub-balance "Reserve" is intended for reserving securities during the issuance of "overnight" and intraday loans. Securities reserved by a participant for use as collateral for National Bank refinancing operations ("overnight" and intraday loans) are accounted for on this sub-balance.
