Ukraine’s National Commission on Securities and Stock Market has developed the concept for a new draft Law of Ukraine “On Financial Market Infrastructure”, with technical support from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and legal advisers, together with Ernst & Young. The concept is being prepared under Ukraine’s European integration obligations and is intended to implement EU norms for capital markets infrastructure. The proposed approach would create a single legislative framework covering the central depository, the central counterparty, settlement systems and financial support. It also envisages integrating provisions for a pilot mode for using distributed ledger technology (DLT), with the stated aim of strengthening the stability and reliability of market infrastructure and aligning regulation more closely with EU standards. The Commission expects to submit the concept for public discussion in the near future, involving the professional community.
