Deutsche Börse reports this morning that Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) has granted Eurex Clearing a licence as a foreign financial instruments clearing organization. This enables Eurex's central counterparty to offer its clearing services not only in the European Union and the US but also in Japan.

Deutsche Börse says the service extension into one of the largest fixed income markets is driven by client demand and will support the strong momentum of Eurex Clearing's EU-based liquidity pool for euro swaps.

With the new licence, Japanese financial institutions can directly access Eurex for swap clearing and combine their listed and OTC euro yield curve business in one single place.

Says Erik Müller, CEO of Eurex Clearing: "With this step, we further geographically expand our service offering into Asia and underline our commitment to becoming the global home of the euro yield curve."
