"What's up in the Nordic CSD scene?"
Featuring Euroclear’s leaders Hanna Vainio (CEO, Finland) and Roger T. Storm (CEO, Sweden) on a panel discussion.
In a fragmented and evolving Nordic market, with challenges like TARGET2-Securities implementation and the rise of DLT, our speakers emphasised key strategies to drive market efficiency with transparency and resilience being at the heart of our strategy.
Hanna Vainio highlighted the need to harmonise practices and communication across the Nordics. She expressed the significance of technology as a huge enabler to drive market efficiencies such as exploring Cloud opportunities for CSD production purposes. She also emphasised the role of innovation in connecting issuers and investors more easily, offering data solutions to help them achieve regulatory compliance and accelerate investments.

This includes acquiring top talent, promoting innovation, and driving standardisation.
