NAUFOR Seeks Inclusion of Investor Services in White Lists
NAUFOR requested the Ministry of Digital Development to include financial market service providers in the 'white lists' to ensure uninterrupted access during mobile internet outages, emphasizing the systemic importance of these services for retail investors and market stability.
Consensus
- NAUFOR requested that the Ministry of Digital Development include websites and services of professional participants in the securities market and asset management companies in the 'white lists'.
- The restriction of access to these services during mobile internet outages deprives many Russian citizens of the ability to perform necessary actions in a timely manner.
- NAUFOR emphasized that such restrictions increase operational, market, and legal risks for transactions on the stock market.
- The 'white lists' are a mechanism introduced by the Ministry of Digital Development in autumn 2025 to maintain service functionality during mobile internet outages.
- The inclusion of these services is considered essential for the stability of the financial infrastructure.
- All participants in the investment ecosystem are interconnected, and the failure of any component may reduce the resilience of the entire system.
