About AECSD (Association of Eurasian Central Securities Depositories)

...

The foundation for the subsequent formation of the Association of Eurasian Central Securities Depositories (AECSD) was initiated in 2001 by the Central Securities Depositories of the Commonwealth of Independent Stated (CIS) countries. The formal establishment of AECSD occurred in Moscow in 2004 by the signing of the Resolution outlining the creation of the Association.

The aim of the Association is to develop and expand inter-institutional securities depository operations, create a common space for central securities depositories and integrate them into global depository systems.

Merkezi Kayıt Kuruluşu (MKK) is a member of AECSD since 2015. Since September 2023, MKK CEO and Board Member Dr. Ekrem ARIKAN is the term Chairman of the Association, and the AECSD Summit will be held in İstanbul in 2024 with the coordination of MKK.
