International concept
The concept of the trade repositories was introduced in 2009 on a G20 summit at Pittsburg, USA, where it was decided that all OTC trades with derivatives should be reported to such repositories. Summit’s participants, as well as supranational organizations, such as the Financial Stability Board, were obliged to develop trade repositories legislation in the local markets.
The main function of a trade repository is to register information on all OTC derivatives trades and to provide data on such trades to a regulator.

- Bank of Russia’s Directive 4104-U dated 16 August, 2016 which:
- established information disclosure procedures to the trade repository;
- defined the terms for information disclosure to the repository by parties of the contract and terms for information disclosure from repository to FFMS;
- set the rules for maintaining contracts register in the repository.
