“There were proposals on how to structure oversight in a new format: for instance, creating a financial market committee similar to the banking oversight committee; revising the functions of Central Bank Board of Directors to include the new scope”, says a source. The transition period should last until 2016. According to the Central Bank plan, stage one, primarily legislation, will take a mere six months (by 1 July 2013). New positions include a First Deputy CB Chairman for Financial Market and an additional Deputy. The audit service must be upgraded in status and authority like in a bank, says another source.
On Monday, Abyzov will report to Vice Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov on the Open Government proposals, say our sources. These proposals will then be forwarded to Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who initiated the Open Government megaregulator debate. On 23 October, Medvedev proposed a month-long debate on the meagregulator. He will present the proposals to the President, according to debate participants.
SROs will receive part of the functions as well, the details are currently debated, said a CB representative. This will balance out the shortcomings of the FFMS-CB merger, says CEO of NAUFOR Alexey Timofeev.
Abyzov was unavailable for comment.
