In an interview with Global Custodian, Euroclear's Chief Business Officer Sebastien Danloy discusses some of the major challenges faced by our industry, including the fragmentation of the European post-trade environment.   "From Euroclear's perspective, we fully support efforts to reduce fragmentation in Europe. However, we also recognise that capital markets should not be viewed in isolation – European integration is important, but so is global integration. Europe plays a key role in the broader financial ecosystem, and any efforts to streamline post-trade processes should also consider global connectivity.    While fragmentation remains a challenge, it's also important to acknowledge the progress made in improving consolidation and liquidity in European markets. Take the Eurobond market, for example. It has been a successful, internationally recognised market since the 1960s, attracting issuers from around the world.      Another example is the consolidation of Central Securities Depositories (CSDs). Previously, there were separate CSDs in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, but these have been integrated into a single shared settlement access point, ESES. Similarly, in Ireland, post Brexit the government and national authorities decided to forgo a national CSD, instead designating Euroclear Bank as the local CSD for the Irish market.     Despite discussions about fragmentation, the reality is that 90% of all settlement flows in Europe are already handled by just two players. This level of consolidation demonstrates that significant progress has already been made in addressing fragmentation."   Read the article on Global Custodian (available only to GC subscribers): https://lnkd.in/eX9Mt--p

We were pleased to join our esteemed market peers and policymakers at the IIF (Institute of International Finance) European Summit in Brussels, where leaders from the public and private sectors gathered to outline the steps for a competitive, future-focused Europe.   Valérie Urbain, CEO of the Euroclear group, spoke to CNBC on the sidelines of the summit sharing perspectives on how to boost the attractiveness of European financial markets. She also participated in the C-Suite panel discussing the critical components of building a competitive economy in the 21st century. During both lively discussions, Valérie shared her valuable insights and reaffirmed our strong commitment to supporting the EU’s growth agenda.   Here are some key takeaways: 🔸 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗦𝗜𝗨): We see SIU as part of the European strategy to develop sustainable economic growth across the EU. With decades of experience as a financial market infrastructure, #Euroclear stands ready to unlock the potential of €11 trillion in idle retail savings. By connecting investors and issuers across markets, we're fostering sustainable growth and providing seamless access to asset classes like fixed income, equities and funds. The Eurobonds success story and our contribution to it reflect what we aim to achieve with our Euroclear FundsPlace offering. 🔸 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄: Euroclear is committed to driving innovation while continuing to balance innovation and regulation. We're focusing on advancing interoperability between digital platforms such as Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and traditional systems, ensuring issuers and investors benefit from enhanced liquidity and accessibility. Our early success with digital bonds demonstrates how bridging legacy platforms with #DLT can provide scalable solutions for the market. By embracing cutting-edge technologies responsibly, we aim to deliver solutions that bring tangible value to clients and the broader market. 🔸 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲'𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹: Deeper market integration is crucial for enhancing EU growth and competitiveness. Addressing fragmentation across 27 jurisdictions, ensuring open access to markets and promoting investor financial literacy will play a key role in unlocking Europe's potential. By removing barriers to investment, the EU can empower businesses to scale and investors to access opportunities seamlessly.   Valerie's message was clear: collaboration, resilience and innovation are essential to creating a more integrated and competitive Europe. We look forward to continuing this important dialogue and working together to drive meaningful progress.
