OREANDA-NEWS. February 01, 2011. As of February 14, 2011 a new version of the Clearing rules of Joint-stock company "RTS Clearing Center" will enter into force. The new rules were approved on December 27, 2010 and registered at the Federal Financial Market Service on January 27, 2011.

The Russian Trading System is a stock market established in 1995 in Moscow, consolidating various regional trading floors into one exchange. Originally RTS was modelled on NASDAQ's trading and settlement software; in 1998 the exchange went on line with its own in-house system. Initially created as a non-profit organisation, at the moment RTS is in the process of reorganisation: it is being transformed into a joint-stock company. RTS data is distributed world-wide through major financial information vendors such as Reuters.
