Citizens will be able to invest directly in State Securities (VMS) through an electronic platform e-VMS, which will provide a real option for people to keep their savings in a place other than bank deposit. The draft law providing for this was voted in the final reading by the deputies, during the plenary session on October 13.
According to the latter legislative changes, natural persons will have direct access to purchase VMS through an electronic e-VMS platform, where VMS issues will be made by direct placement only to natural persons, without auctions and without intermediation.
