CENTRAL SECURITIES DEPOSITORY AD SKOPJE LAUNCHES NEW INTERNET PORTAL

DIGITALIZATION TOWARDS THE END USERS OF CSD AD SKOPJE – ISSUERS AND INVESTORS

 

 

As of today, the Central Securities Depository AD Skopje is launching its latest project for digitalization of end-user system, i.e. the issuers and investors. The digitalization is in the form of internet portal intended for access to   electronic reports which quickly and easily obtain important information for the investors and the issuers of securities.

 

            The internet portal is made according to the users’ needs and it’s very easy to use. In addition, the portal offers the opportunity to receive free, relevant and reliable reports, reports which are charged and reports which are verified with electronic signature and a time stamp.

 

The holders of securities can obtain initial access data through the banks or brokerage houses that are members of CSD AD Skopje and have concluded a special Agreement with CSD AD Skopje for this purpose, while the issuers of the securities obtain this kind of access by signing an Agreement with CSD AD Skopje for usage of the distribution system of CSD, whereby an authorized person of the issuer (or legal entity) gains an access to the internet portal. During the development of the internet portal, highest IT security standards and personal data protection policies were applied.

 

            “Developing the portal was a selection process of the end users’ needs, while the web application itself was created based on many experiences and best practices. From now on, the joint-stock companies as well as the investors will have an easier path because the digitalization of CSD AD Skopjewill save the crucial resources, both time-consuming and operational while protecting the affected entitieswhich includes approximately 530 issuers and 70.000 shareholders” – said Darinka Damjanovikj, CEO of the Central Securities Depository AD Skopje.

 

            The Central Securities Depository contributes to more efficient operation and modernization of the securities market, while the migration from offline to online is a natural process which will result in cheaper services for each user.

 

            The digitalization towards the end users was co-financed  by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).

 

Fady Alrayyes, Associate at the EBRD’s Local Currency and Capital markets Development team said: “The new information portal will give investors and issurers accessible online information about shareholding reports thus largely contribute to data and information  transparency. Digitalising data accessibility addresses previous burdensome of manual data processing at the CSD, makes the market more attractive to international investors and gives issuers better information about their shareholders. We see this as an important  effort towards developing the local capital market.”
