Euroclear is pleased to announce the publication of its 2024 Annual Report. For the first time, we have grouped our sustainability metrics with our core business drivers in a consolidated report.
In 2024, we made solid progress in delivering on our strategic objectives, maintaining client focus, while recording exceptional business and financial performance against a backdrop of geopolitical uncertainty.
It was a year of transition, with Valérie Urbain taking up the reins as CEO with a new management team.
- Underlying operating income reached €2.9 billion.
- Underlying business income totalled €1.7 billion, driven by record settlement and safekeeping activities.
- Assets under custody reaching over €40 trillion for the first time.
- Netted transactions we processed for clients reached 331 million for a value of €1,162 trillion.
This record performance truly validates the relevance of our neutral and open model. As we continue to lead the way in Europe, we connect, thanks to our international reach, global pools of liquidity to serve real economies. Our vision is to harness new digital technologies, unleash the potential of data, and expand our markets.
Embedding environmental, social and governance aspects into this Annual Report sees us successfully conform to Corporate Social Reporting Directive (CSRD) requirements. Furthermore, the Euroclear Foundation was established in 2024, underpinning our core belief that we have a central role to play in improving the communities where our talents and our clients live and operate.
