Euronext, the pan-European stock exchange, has finalised the sale of 20% of its clearing business, Clearnet, to Euroclear.
The exchange has also finalised its agreement with Euroclear on the sale of Necigef and CIK, the Dutch and Belgian central securities depositories. The Paris Bourse acquired the depositories when it merged with Amsterdam Exchanges and the Brussels Stock Exchange to form Euronext in September 2000.
