Ahead of the UK鈥檚 planned withdrawal from the EU, The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) plans to extend its presence in Europe by adding a new location in Dublin.
According to DTCC, they will continue to provide an authorised regulatory reporting service for clients in the EU27 and the UK.
Simon Farrington, managing director, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at DTCC, said: 鈥淒TCC has had a strong presence in Europe for over two decades, including in London, Wrexham, Brussels, Frankfurt and Stockholm.鈥�
He continued: 鈥淥ur continued growth and desire to get ahead of new regulatory obligations, because of Brexit, now takes us across the Irish Sea to Dublin.鈥�
鈥淲e look forward to hiring and developing a local team, and working with lawmakers, regulators, trade associations and other key industry stakeholders to ensure the success of our new operations in Ireland.鈥�
Andrew Douglas, CEO of DTCC鈥檚 European GTR and managing director for government relations across EMEA, commented: 鈥淒TCC鈥檚 GTR serves approximately 80 percent of the global financial market, and, according to European 麻豆传媒 Markets Authority (ESMA) figures, is operating as the largest trade repository in Europe.鈥�
鈥淩egardless of the outcome of the final negotiations between the EU and the UK, DTCC鈥檚 GTR will maintain a presence in the UK as well as aim to establish a new trade repository entity in Ireland, ensuring ongoing compliance with both ESMA and the Financial Conduct Authority鈥檚 (FCA) requirements under the relevant legislation in both jurisdictions.鈥�
Heather Humphreys, minister for business, enterprise and innovation, said: 鈥淚 was delighted to see that DTCC will be opening an office in Dublin. This once again shows that Ireland is now a major player and a very attractive location for financial services companies from all over the world.鈥�
