The value of repo transactions with the Bank of Russia conducted via the NSD’s collateral management services reached RUB 8.1 trillion (US$126 billion) during the same period.

This means that Federal Treasury business accounted for a third of the value of all repo transactions conducted through the NSD’s collateral management services

The value of Bank of Russia repo transactions decreased from RUB 11.6 trillion (US$180 billion) in Q3 2014 to RUB 8.1 trillion (US$126 billion) in Q3 2015.

But the number of Bank of Russia repo transactions climbed year-over-year, from 1,879 to 2,284, an increase of 21.6 percent.

In total, the value of transactions conducted with the use of the NSD’s collateral management services stood at RUB 12.7 trillion (US$197 billion), beating Q3 2014’s RUB 11.6 trillion by 11 percent.
