Nasdaq CSD expands global investor access to the Baltic market through Euroclear

Published on 15.06.26

Riga / Tallinn / Vilnius, June 15, 2026 – Nasdaq (NDAQ) today announced that Nasdaq CSD has expanded its partnership with Euroclear Bank, unlocking access to Baltic corporate securities for international investors.

Nasdaq CSD, in collaboration with International Central Securities Depository Euroclear Bank, is enabling stronger connections between the Baltic capital markets and global investors. Effective June 15, market access that previously covered government securities will now include Baltic equities and corporate bonds, positioning the region as increasingly attractive to international capital.

Global investors can now seamlessly invest in Baltic companies through their existing Euroclear Bank infrastructure, while Nasdaq CSD continues to deliver the local market’s post-trade services. This integration eliminates access barriers and facilitates more streamlined investment decisions.

Enhanced capital access for Baltic companies

Expanded market access enables Baltic companies to tap into a broader international investor base, including institutional investors. This will support investor interest, boost trading activity, and create more favorable capital raising conditions, thereby strengthening companies’ growth potential and elevating Baltic market visibility.

Benefits for local market participants

Beyond facilitating international access, the expanded arrangement will contribute to local market evolution. Increased investor participation enhances liquidity, supports trading activity and accelerates market development.

Strengthened market connectivity

The expansion builds on existing market infrastructure while extending access to Baltic corporate securities through Euroclear Bank. As a result, Baltic issuers and investors achieve deeper integration with international capital markets.

Beyond the Baltics, the Nasdaq CSD–Euroclear Bank linkage advances broader European capital market integration. By streamlining cross-border flows and optimizing capital allocation efficiency, it supports more interconnected and dynamic European capital market ecosystem.

Indars Aščuks, Chairman of the Management Board, Nasdaq CSD:
“This represents an important milestone for Nasdaq CSD and the Baltic markets. Market access of this caliber has always been envisioned, and today it has become reality. The cooperation framework with Euroclear Bank, successfully demonstrated in government securities, will from June 15 include Baltic corporate securities, unlocking enhanced opportunities for growth and capital formation.”
