Members of the European Central Securities Depositories Association (ECSDA) have re-elected Mathias Papenfuß of Clearstream as chairman.
Representatives of 41 central securities depositories (CSDs) gathered for the election during the ordinary general meeting on 20 May held at KDPW’s headquarters in Warsaw.
Papenfuß will continue to be supported by two vice chairs Brigitte Daurelle of Euroclear and György Dudás of KELER.
Georg Zinner of OeKB CSD was also re-elected as treasurer of the association.
Papenfuß commented on his re-election: “I expect the next three years to witness an unprecedented level of harmonisation of CSD activities, as well as stronger competition within Europe.”
He added: “Each CSD will face its own specific challenges, but as an industry association ECSDA can play a key role in ensuring that the new rules of the game are applied consistently and meaningfully across national markets.”
