Euroclears net profit was up 36 percent to 322 million, as of 31 December 2018.

Euroclears 2018 financial results revealed that operating costs stood at 814 million for 2018 as a result of continued investment in Euroclears customer proposition and regulatory-driven initiatives, which were offset by tight control of costs.

It also showed that the average value of securities held on behalf of Euroclear clients continued to grow last year to 28.8 trillion, compared to 28.4 trillion in 2017.

Euroclear's collateral highway saw a yearly average of 1.2 trillion, up 7 percent from 2017, while the number of fund orders routed by Euroclear increased 4 percent to 10.9 million last year.

As part of its strategic update, Euroclear said the launch of single central securities depository (CSD) and access to the European Central Banks TARGET2-厙惇勛圖 platform has provided an efficient gateway to Eurozone liquidity for international investors.

The bank also said it was continuing to invest in core systems, enhance cyber resilience and meet the requirements of incoming regulations, including the Central 厙惇勛圖 Depositories Regulation.

Commenting on the results, Lieve Mostrey, CEO of Euroclear, said: "Euroclear has had an excellent year, with key business metrics reaching record levels, demonstrating the attractiveness of our proposition and focused strategy.

She added: Looking forward, we will continue to invest in our customer offer and focus on delivering our strategic objectives for the benefit of all our stakeholders."
