Reference information:

Since January 1, 2008 the functions of  the National Numbering Agency of the Republic of Belarus have been performed by the RUE "The Republican Central Securities Depository".

The Substitute Numbering Agency (SNA) is assigned not only to countries that lack the National Numbering Agency (NNA), but also to countries that have the National Numbering Agency (NNA).
