In the capital of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek, a round table was held to discuss the connection of the brokerage company Royal Pure Gold to the international trading platform ITS. This event marks an expansion of opportunities for the country's investors, allowing them to access global capital markets.
Participants of the event noted that integration with the ITS platform significantly simplifies the process of investing in shares of international companies, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and various financial instruments through a local broker. Until now, purchasing foreign securities required opening accounts with foreign brokers and going through numerous procedures.
The goal of the integration with ITS is to simplify access to international investment instruments. Royal Pure Gold is actively working on creating its digital infrastructure. The Calian Invest platform will be used for transactions with foreign securities, while Calian Exchange will be used for trading operations with digital assets. The technical connection is expected to be completed by April, and the launch of the mobile application is tentatively scheduled for July. It is anticipated that financial institutions will be able to serve their clients through this infrastructure. Representatives of ITS also emphasized that their platform is an international trading system of the MTF format, registered in the Astana International Financial Centre. Access to the platform is provided to over 3000 stocks and more than 300 ETFs, including instruments from American, European, and Asian markets. ITS operates on a B2B model, where licensed brokers and banks connect to the system, providing access to their clients. The trading session lasts up to 18 hours a day, allowing investors to conduct transactions with foreign securities during daytime hours. According to ITS, participants on the platform operate in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, with a daily turnover reaching 100 million dollars. There is a growing interest from banks and brokers in Kyrgyzstan to connect to this system.
Round table participants emphasized that the development of such infrastructure will contribute to the expansion of investment opportunities, diversification of assets, and deeper integration of Kyrgyzstan into the international financial system.
