Self-regulatory organisation «National Finance Association» (SRO NFA) is a leading professional association which includes about 250 Russian securities market participants from 27 regions of all eight Federal districts of the Russian Federation. SRO NFA members operations hold more than about 80% of the Russian banking sector market share.

SRO NFA is successfully managing projects aimed at the development of the Russian securities markets, market infrastructure, derivatives, precious metals and holds four annual international conferences.

To establish a complex approach to the development of the precious metals market in Russia, on 30 November 2017 SRO NFA established a Precious Metals Market Committee. Precious Metals Market Committee focused on promoting transparent and effective precious metals market in Russia. 

Precious Metals Market Committee members are the key Russian banks which actively presented on the market, infrastructure organisations, State Duma of the Russian Federation, Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation and the Bank of Russia. 

Precious metals market and associate with it financial market instruments play one of the significant roles as an alternate source of investments. Development of this financial market segment enlarges the investment and hedging opportunities for professional financial market participants and corporate but requires further actions in solving regulatory and market issues raised on the precious market in Russia and globally.

International Forum RBF-2019 gathers a large number of experts in discussing sensitive and actual issues connected with the precious metals market.   

This year we are continuing a good tradition of discussions between well-known experts of Russia and global market players on the precious metals to share their views on the market and the future of the industry.

The traditional sections of RBF on regulatory, infrastructure and analytical issues will be represented by lead experts from Russian authorities, market infrastructure organisations, Russian and foreign banks, international associations, gold mining companies and refineries. 

They will discuss and exchange of their respective views on the precious market development trends and perspectives, key issues which limit the further market growth and share their opinion on the possible actions that will facilitate the market evolution and extension.
