General information

The MICEX ETP is a special electronic service that allows enterprises to enter into transactions through electronic communication channels. The MMVB trading platform or the National Electronic Platform is one of the five officially recognized and approved resources in the corresponding area.

After changing the name of the MICEX ETP, the website address and domain name were also changed. The previous one - etp-micex.ru - remained valid for another 12 months for forwarding. New names were assigned to ETP sections for procurement under Federal legislation, as well as for tenders for the overhaul of residential multi-storey buildings. For trading on the MICEX ETP related to property, a separate platform has been created on its own domain.

The advantages of the MICEX (Maysex) platform compared to other platforms are:

• the presence of a large number of centers in 8 major cities of the country;
• the opportunity to work with clients outside the state (in particular, companies from Belarus hold auctions on this online platform);
• the ability for contracting parties to directly access the Fabrikant web platform;
• work simultaneously on several market segments - from money and goods to promotional ones.

The MICEX ETP for Government Procurement has the authority to conduct open online trading in accordance with federal law. The operator providing the services is the closed JSC MICEX - Information Technologies. Which, in turn, is part of the MICEX Group (MICEX Group). This organization offers services in the areas of trading, clearing, information and custody services. Today, the web platform of the Moscow Stock Exchange for government procurement allows you to carry out all operations for placing orders in full.
