ECSDA Board drew lessons from the experience of the Ukrainian CSD (NDU)
At its last meeting, European Central Securities Depositories Association (ECSDA) Board drew lessons from the experience of the Ukrainian CSD (National Depository of Ukraine) about their operation during the war. Oleksii Yudin, Chairman of the NDU Management Board, shared their experience and discussed with the other ECSDA Members how they coordinated orderly market cloture at the beginning of the war and its restart of CSD operations at the market re-opening in August, also how they ensured the resilience of the CSD data and reviewed their projects in line with the changing needs of the market participants.
ECSDA Members expressed their profound sadness on the circumstances which required such a stress testing of business continuity measures of the Ukrainian CSD. However, this NDU crisis management experience and the conclusions drawn from it were ever so valuable for the reason of being lived.
ECSDA Secretariat is grateful for the experience shared by our member, the National Depository of Ukraine, and wishes for the restoration of Ukraine and its capital market!
