Commenting on the development, Cécile Nagel, CEO, EuroCCP, said: “Open access and competitive clearing have been essential drivers of post-trade simplicity and efficiency, and we are pleased to be able to extend our services to firms executing trades on FWB.
“This is a key milestone in pan-European equities clearing and will allow clearing members to consolidate more flow, reducing complexity and leading to significant operational, netting and cost efficiencies.”
