Abstract
A Federal Law “On Self-Regulatory Organizations in the Financial Marketplace” (hereinafter “the Federal Law on SROs in FMP) was adopted on 13 July 2015 and is due to come into force on 11 January 2016. The adopted Federal Law saw just minor amendments despite serious criticism brought in against it by the professional and academic communities in the process of its development and submission to the State Duma (the lower house of Russia’s parliament) for consideration. Thus, a new system in Russia is under construction, which aims to regulate SROs in the financial marketplace, in which the Bank of Russia is actively involved, and it is the financial markets regulator that decides how actively it will be involved. However, the new system may pose some risks for the independent nature of SROs.
