This method text will be published at the exchange site in the nearest time. This method essence includes the following. The company's place in the ranking is determined by the value of the so called activity indicator (Ka), calculated for each exchange member. The first position in the rating corresponds with the largest Ka value. This indicator for the repo market operators is calculated by formula Ka = V + N + D + 0,8*A, where: V - the indicator of deals volume, concluded by the being rated exchange member in corporate bonds during the analyzed period on the KASE secondary market by open trades methods; V = Vi / Vmax, where Vi - deals volume, concluded by the being rated company for the period, Vmax - the largest volume of deals, concluded by any KASE member for the same period (not considering the National Bank); N - the indicator of repo deals number, concluded by the being rated exchange member for the analyzed period on KASE; N = Ni / Nmax, where Ni - the number of deals, concluded by the being rated company for the period сделок, Nmax - the largest volume of deals, concluded by any KASE member for the same period (not considering the National Bank); D - the indicator of number of effective for the being rated exchange member days during the analyzed period (the effective day - the day during which the being rated exchange member on the KASE secondary market concluded at least one deal in corporate bonds by the open trades method); D = Di / Dmax, where Di - the number of effective days of the being rated exchange member, D(max) - the largest number of effective days, fixed for the analyzed period on any KASE member; A - the indicator of sub-account number, used by the being rated exchange member during the analyzed period; A = Ai / Amax, where Ai - the sub-accounts number, used by the being rated exchange member when concluding deals during the analyzed period, A(max) - the largest number of used sub-accounts, fixed for the analyzed period on any KASE member; Indicators Vi, Ni, Di, Ai, Vmax, Nmax, Dmax, Amax are unit values, i.e. are calculated as the ratio of deals volume (number of deals, number of effective days or number of sub-accounts) to the number of days in the analyzed period, during which this trades' participant was this category exchange member. Thus, dependence of indicators values on the duration of the being rated KASE member activities is leveled; Given this, STF RFCA deals are not considered when determining the rating position; At the same time, not all KASE category "K" members are included into the ranking. For inclusion into the ranking the company must have KASE membership by the corresponding category during not less than 70 % (by calendar days) of the analyzed period, if considered the period up to three months inclusive, not less than 60 %, if the period duration makes up from three to six months, and not less than 50 %, in case of use of the longer analyzed period.
