The Central Bank of Russian Federation (CBR) is conducting public consultations on several draft regulatory directives covering payments infrastructure, insurance, banking operations, and securities disclosure. The consultations are part of the CBR's 2026 regulatory agenda and invite stakeholder feedback through designated email addresses. Key draft directives under consultation include amendments to regulations governing payment services fees and infrastructure within the CBR's payment system; modifications to trust management rules for investment funds designated exclusively for qualified investors; updates to mandatory motor vehicle liability insurance requirements; revisions to asset sufficiency assessment methodologies for bank obligation settlement; procedures for electronic document exchange between tax authorities and banks; and credit reserve formation requirements for organisations providing mortgage and real estate financing. Additionally, the CBR is consulting on a new regulation establishing disclosure requirements for issuers of debt securities. The CBR has established a standardised format for submitting comments and recommendations during the public discussion phase to support regulatory impact assessments. Comments on individual draft directives are due by specified dates in May 2026, with submission deadlines ranging from May 14 to May 26, 2026. Each draft directive has designated CBR contact points for submissions. The CBR notes that all draft regulatory acts undergo corruption risk assessment as part of the approval process. Stakeholders can access draft documents, explanatory notes, and submission procedures through the CBR's official website and the Federal Portal of Draft Regulatory Legal Acts (regulation.gov.ru).
