The new connection aims to facilitate cross-border settlement in TARGET2 Securities (T2S) markets, giving easier access to Baltic securities.
The project has been lauded by industry experts, and HQLAx founder Guido Stroemer was included in Global Custodian’s 30 to Shape the Future list.

Euroclear Bank will be able to offer clients the choice between euro settlement in both commercial bank and central bank money.
Clearstream’s current strategy has been focused on the continued rollout of its InvestorCSD, and the expansion of its investment fund services business.
