Euroclear today announced that Euroclear Nordics has joined the Capital Markets Track of the Nordic Compass, an industry initiative bringing together key market participants to identify particular actions that strengthen competitiveness, innovation and resilience across the region.

Euroclear Nordics, which comprises the Central Securities Depositories (CSDs) in Sweden and Finland, will bring expertise in market infrastructure and investment flows, connecting issuers and investors across the region to the alliance. Its membership is aligned to Euroclear’s broader ambition to foster true connectivity and efficiencies by offering one CSD for the Nordic region by 2030, with Denmark currently in development, followed by Norway.

Hanna Vainio, CEO of Euroclear Nordics, said:

“We are extremely pleased to join this collaborative vision. Our ambition is to support the region as its preferred CSD with a one account model, offering a single point of access for all Nordic markets. Through a shared roadmap combining greater harmonisation with the distinctive features of local markets, we aim to simplify post-trade processes, strengthen resilience and deliver a more consistent client experience. Through the Nordic Compass, we will bring regional expertise and broader European perspective to a collective effort to make capital markets more connected, efficient and competitive – helping investment flow more freely across the Nordics and beyond.”
