The Ukraine National Commission on Securities and Stock Market (NSSMC) chair met with the Minister of Economy to discuss measures intended to create clearer organised markets with fair competition and open pricing, including the potential role of exchange trading in price formation. The agenda also covered the possible creation of an exchange holding, the development of municipal bonds, and the regulation of virtual assets. Against the backdrop of challenges around natural gas and related infrastructure, the NSSMC chair argued for assessing alternative energy resources such as solid biofuels. He said that introducing transparent exchange pricing and removing the price peg to the PSO could make solid biofuels a competitive and economically attractive option for communities and businesses, particularly where a local raw-material base exists, and framed exchange trading as a mechanism to deliver transparency, liquidity, and equal market rules.
