With the announcement of the acquisition of VP Securities, the Danish Central Securities Depository (CSD), Euronext adds a third CSD to the Group, which already includes the CSDs of Norway and Portugal (INTERBOLSA). This is an important step forward in the accomplishment of Euronext’s strategic goals, namely to build the leading market infrastructure in Europe, and reinforce the Group’s pos-trade business.
It represents good news for Portugal and INTERBOLSA, insofar as the acquisition creates the necessary conditions for the development of new post-trade services, as well as the technological evolution of the CSDs’ platforms, while continuing to provide a set of highly reliable and efficient services to the local ecosystems.
