The list complies with Bank of Russia Regulations No. 312-P dated 12.11.2007 “Bank of Russia Provision to Credit Institutions of Loans Secured by Assets or Guarantees”. Under these regulations, the Bank of Russia can accept guarantees from Center-invest Bank for Bank of Russia loans to other credit institutions.
