Euroclear’s Collateral Highway recently passed the €2 trillion ($2.1trn) mark in mobilized collateral daily across triparty, securities loan, central bank credit, derivatives or other margin.
As a financial market infrastructure (FMI), Euroclear has a multi-year investment plan for the Collateral Highway that prioritizes contract management, collateral allocation and optimization, easily accessible collateral data, expanding markets and product reach and central bank access.
Sebastien Danloy, chief business officer at Euroclear, said in a statement: “We’re proud to achieve this €2 trillion milestone with market support and are committed to further growth through a multi-year investment plan. Our strategy will transform the Collateral Highway, setting new standards in client experience, service excellence, innovation and resilience. A robust collateral infrastructure is also essential on our journey to enhance liquidity in European capital markets and ultimately drive sustainable economic growth.”
Launched in 2012, the Collateral Highway was designed to address the growing demand for high-quality collateral by providing an open architecture infrastructure for managing collateral. Over the years, it has evolved to provide mobilization of collateral across borders, asset classes and exposure types.
