About ETSE Exchange

ETSE (Eurasian Trading & Settlement Exchange) is the first export-import commodity exchange of the Republic of Kazakhstan, established under the jurisdiction of the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) as a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF).

ETSE's history is built upon the development of Kazakhstan's largest commodity exchange infrastructure — JSC "Eurasian Trading System" Commodity Exchange (ETS), which has been operating since 2009 and maintains a strong reputation in the national exchange trading market.

ETS is one of the leaders in the commodity market of the Republic of Kazakhstan and provides a significant volume of organized trading in socially significant and raw commodities. ETS's proprietary technology platform ensures a high level of trading reliability, transaction transparency, and long-term archiving of trading data.

In order to expand the national exchange infrastructure and develop export-import trade under international jurisdiction, in June 2021, a Memorandum of Cooperation was signed between JSC "ETS" Commodity Exchange and the Astana International Financial Centre for the formation of a commodity exchange market within AIFC.

In 2022, preparations began for the creation and accreditation of the ETSE export commodity platform as a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) under the AIFC jurisdiction.

A key milestone in the institutional development of the project was obtaining the license.

On July 11, 2024, the Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA) granted ETSE Ltd. a license to operate as a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF).

ETSE became the first MTF platform under AIFC jurisdiction specializing in organized trading of raw and socially significant commodities with a focus on export-import operations and cross-border trade.
