Harmonised corporate actions platform extended across asset classes in Portugal, delivering a key milestone of Euronext’s ambition to build integrated and future-proof European market infrastructures.
With harmonised corporate actions processing now extended beyond fixed income to cover the full scope of Portuguese securities, Portugal becomes the first Euronext Securities market to benefit from a cross-asset implementation of its common corporate actions platform, marking the successful completion of this full-scope deployment.
The extension to equity events builds on the first go-live of Portuguese fixed income corporate actions in April 2024. With a full range of corporate action event types now live across asset classes in Portugal, the harmonised platform reaches operational maturity, demonstrating its ability to support end-to-end corporate actions processing at scale on a single harmonised infrastructure.
Reducing fragmentation to strengthen European capital markets
Post-trade fragmentation remains one of the structural challenges facing European capital markets. In the area of corporate actions, differing processes, standards and local practices have historically resulted in operational complexity, inefficiencies and increased risk for issuers, investors and financial intermediaries.
Euronext Securities’ harmonised corporate actions platform directly addresses these challenges. By offering a single, standardised and automated platform across markets, Euronext Securities is simplifying corporate actions processing while delivering greater consistency, transparency and efficiency for clients. The platform fully adheres to international corporate actions standards and relevant regulatory requirements and supports a resilient and user-centric operating model, contributing to the broader objective of a more integrated and competitive capital markets union.
A strategic proof point for the Group
The extension of the common corporate actions platform to all Portuguese securities represents an important proof point for Euronext Securities. It validates the robustness and scalability of the solution, and confirms the Group’s strategy to develop harmonised, pan-European post-trade services that can be deployed consistently across markets.
With our common platform now fully operational in Portugal, we are progressing in the delivery of harmonised, resilient and client‑focused corporate actions services across all our markets.
Said Olga Jordão, CEO of Euronext Securities Porto & Milan and Head of Business Operations for Euronext Securities.
This milestone reflects the close collaboration with our clients and partners, and demonstrates the value of co-creation in driving meaningful market infrastructure transformation.
Scaling up: the next phase
Building on the successful Portuguese deployment, the common corporate actions platform will continue to be rolled out progressively across Euronext Securities CSDs and asset classes. Each subsequent market implementation will leverage the experience gained to date, supporting a scalable and efficient extension of the service at European level.
As the initiative expands, clients will increasingly benefit from a unified and consistent corporate actions experience across markets, thus reinforcing Euronext Securities’ role as a connector of European economies to global capital markets.
The common corporate actions platform will be fully deployed in Italy and Denmark during the course of 2026, marking the next decisive steps in the phased pan-European rollout of the platform.
Innovation as a driver of sustainable growth
This milestone illustrates Euronext’s “Innovate for Growth” strategic ambition. By investing in harmonised, resilient and future-proof infrastructures, Euronext is strengthening the foundations of its value chain, enhancing the client experience and enabling sustainable growth.
Innovation, in this context, goes beyond technology. It is about delivering simplification, scale and reliability, and about building shared platforms that support the long-term competitiveness of European capital markets.
With harmonised corporate actions processing now extended across asset classes in Portugal and further roll-outs underway, Euronext Securities continues to translate strategy into execution, advancing towards a more integrated, efficient and resilient post-trade landscape.
