5. Average daily volume and the structure of USD/RUB swaps in Russia, USD million In 2010 average daily global turnover in FX swaps totaled $1765 billion and in FX forwards – $475 billion. According to BIS, swaps with maturity less than 1 week accounted for 74% of the FX swap market, from 1 week to 1 year – 25% and over 1 year – 1% of the market. In 2010 the share of cross currency swaps with maturity over 1 week in developed countries accounts for 20-30% :  USA - 28%  UK - 26%. In 2011 The share of long-term swaps in the UK USD/RUB swaps market exceeds 30%. Long-term (over 1 week) swaps have a quite small market share in Russia – just 3-4% of the FX swap market. According to the Bank of Russia’s and the Bank of England’s official data for 2011, long-term USD/RUB swaps trading volume was almost 4 times higher in London than in Russia. Russian banks must apply position limits against each other as well as sign the General Agreement and to enter into long-term cross-currency swaps on-shore. Bilateral limits between Russian banks are not sufficient to make long term OTC deals. If a counterparty on swap deal will go bankrupt it causes serious problems to bona fide side. As a result, most of the deals are conducted overseas and involve the use of various synthetic instruments.

6. Total volume of USD/RUB swaps (short and long positions) made by Russian banks, USD billion As of the end of December, 2011, the outstanding volume of USD/RUB swaps and forwards concluded by Russian banks totaled $115 billion. In 2011 the overall volume of USD/RUB swaps (short and long positions) made by Russian banks grew 31% against 2010 to more than $4 trillion. Until recently, the low share of long-term swaps on the Russian market was explained by the general underdevelopment of the derivatives market in Russia. Due to small limits on long-term instruments, risks of counterparty bankruptcy, insufficient OTC risk management Russian banks prefer to operate off-shore or create synthetic swaps on international markets. A substantial volume of USD/RUB derivative transactions is made on the CME. Monthly volumes exceeded USD 9 billion. Key issues that have to be resolved in order to significantly increase on-shore market share for the long-term USD/RUB swaps are as follows: a) removing counterparty risk; b) protecting bona fide side of the deal; c) introduction of sound risk management What MICEX-RTS could offer to participants:  The CCP's services  Sound risk-management system These factors should facilitate the creation of the exchange-traded cross currency swaps market in Russia. Our expecting market share with long-term swaps is 15-20% against current 3-4% of the domestic swap market. Sources: The Bank of Russia’s data based on BIS & СМЕT methodology.
