In Russia there can be a system for the transmission of cross-border communications and transactions on the basis of technologies of the distributed registry. However, disconnecting from the SWIFT system, Russia is not threatened because it is unprofitable, participants of world trade. In an interview with RT, said first Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank Olga Skorobogatova.
She said that created a CBR system for transmitting financial messages (SPPS) joined 400 participants, including banks, Treasury, and legal entity.
“We are giving the opportunity to connect to this system and to non — residents, both banks and legal entities. In the future, in the development of cross-border space we can talk about the use of technology of distributed registries to create a new system for the transmission of messages and calculations, but it should be done only in collaboration with other countries”, — said Skorobogatova.
According to her, now the Central Bank of the Russian Federation focused on the projects on creation of electronic mortgage certificates, letters of credit and guarantees on the basis of the blockchain.
“We expect that electronic mortgages are already actively earn in the next year, letters of credit and guarantees — this is the second stage of development”, — said the first Deputy Chairman of the CBR.
Olga Skorobogatova is also not excluded that in the future the blockchain will be used in the mechanism of remote identification of customers.
With that she again noted that the position of the Central Bank in relation to the cryptocurrency remains restrained and the financial regulator is discussing the recognition of their legal tender.
“With the government we discuss only the development of the draft law on digital assets, but he’s more concerned with concepts and definitions that are necessary for the development of the digital economy. The sharp volatility in the stock market only confirms the risks which the Central Bank warned citizens”, — summed up Skorobogatova.
We will remind, in June the members of the Association for the development of the technology of the distributed registry “FINTECH” has announced plans to test prototypes on blockchain systems for transmission of financial messages.
