EuroCCP is delighted to announce that regulatory approval was received to provide clearing services for trades executed on Borsa Italiana’s Regulated Markets and MTF – Mercato Telematico Azionairo (MTA), Borsa Italiana Equity MTF and ETFplus Market.

Now also live with clearing for Borsa Italiana @BorsaitalianaIT. A new milestone which allows our members to consolidate CCP clearing activity for close to 90% of all European equities trading. https://t.co/srZiIHaHi3

The service will be available on a Preferred CCP basis for shares, equity certificates and exchange traded funds traded on Borsa Italiana.

Since its inception and in close cooperation with the clearing community, EuroCCP has been an advocate of open access for the benefit of clearing and trading participants alike.  With the introduction of EuroCCP as a Preferred CCP on Borsa Italiana’s three platforms, clearing services will become even more efficient by reducing post trade costs, increasing cross-venue netting opportunities and optimising operational processes.

We would refer you to Borsa Italiana’s website, which provides further information on this announcement.
