including the consolidation of Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland&#8217;s national exchanges, as well as the harmonisation of their regulatory frameworks. <\/p>\n<p>Nordic Compass told Euronews it is analysing a range of possibilities but that the work remains preliminary.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nordic Compass&#8217; Capital Markets Track is working to improve opportunities to raise capital to support competitiveness across all stages, from start-up, venture, growth and scale-up to IPOs, as well as the ecosystem for Nordic listings,&#8221; said Christian Clausen, chair of the alliance&#8217;s Capital Markets Track and chairman for the Nordics at BlackRock.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This includes analyses of a range of potential initiatives, including issues related to liquidity. The work is still at an exploratory stage, and no agreement has yet been reached on specific initiatives or conclusions,&#8221; Clausen explained to Euronews.<\/p>\n<p>Nordic Compass was launched in May as a pan-Nordic industry alliance gathering more than 25 companies, foundations and organisations, among them Wallenberg Investments, EQT, Nordea, SEB, Nasdaq Nordic, Ericsson, Nokia, Saab, \u00d8rsted and the Novo Nordisk Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Chaired by former Finnish prime minister Jyrki Katainen, it works across four tracks covering capital markets, deep tech, defence and energy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"1\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/89\/10\/53\/808x808_cmsv2_c0f81cc9-e77d-5d6e-863c-3a405566f7bd-9891053.jpg\" alt=\"Infographic on Nordic Compass&apos; composition\"><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">Infographic on Nordic Compass&#8217; composition<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Nasdaq Stockholm via LinkedIn<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The alliance&#8217;s first initiatives are due at a summit in Gothenburg on 4 and 5 November, where the capital markets proposal is rumoured to be presented.<\/p>\n<p>The prize is considerable.<\/p>\n<p>Nordic pension funds and sovereign investors manage close to $4 trillion (\u20ac3.43tn) and take in more than $175 billion (\u20ac3.43tn) a year, but that capital is spread across four separate markets rather than being pooled into one.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div class=\"c-widget-related__title\"><b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b><\/div>\n<ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">How the Nordic nations could become Europe&#8217;s answer to Silicon Valley <\/li>\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">Nordic coalition urges EU to stand firm against new oil and gas drilling in the Arctic <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Who owns the exchanges?<\/h2>\n<p>Any merger would need the cooperation of three parties that do not answer to the alliance directly. <\/p>\n<p>Nasdaq operates most of the region&#8217;s national bourses, Euronext owns Oslo&#8217;s stock exchange, and Euroclear plays a central role in settling Nordic securities trades.<\/p>\n<p>Nasdaq did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Euronext signalled openness telling Euronews that through Oslo B\u00f8rs, its securities depositories in Norway and Denmark, Nord Pool and Admincontrol, it has an established Nordic franchise and is &#8220;in dialogue with Nordic Compass about potentially contributing to practical measures.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Euronext welcomes initiatives aimed at making the Nordic capital markets even more competitive globally,&#8221; the exchange operator added. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The region already benefits from strong market traditions, sophisticated investors and successful local ecosystems.

The work is still at an exploratory stage, and no agreement has yet been reached on specific initiatives or conclusions,&#8221; Clausen explained to Euronews.Nordic Compass was launched in May as a pan-Nordic industry alliance gathering more than 25 companies, foundations and organisations, among them Wallenberg Investments, EQT, Nordea, SEB, Nasdaq Nordic, Ericsson, Nokia, Saab, \u00d8rsted and the Novo Nordisk Foundation.Chaired by former Finnish prime minister Jyrki Katainen, it works across four tracks covering capital markets, deep tech, defence and energy.The alliance&#8217;s first initiatives are due at a summit in Gothenburg on 4 and 5 November, where the capital markets proposal is rumoured to be presented.The prize is considerable.Nordic pension funds and sovereign investors manage close to $4 trillion (\u20ac3.43tn) and take in more than $175 billion (\u20ac3.43tn) a year, but that capital is spread across four separate markets rather than being pooled into one.Who owns the exchanges?Any merger would need the cooperation of three parties that do not answer to the alliance directly.Nasdaq operates most of the region&#8217;s national bourses, Euronext owns Oslo&#8217;s stock exchange, and Euroclear plays a central role in settling Nordic securities trades.Nasdaq did not respond to a request for comment.Euronext signalled openness telling Euronews that through Oslo B\u00f8rs, its securities depositories in Norway and Denmark, Nord Pool and Admincontrol, it has an established Nordic franchise and is &#8220;in dialogue with Nordic Compass about potentially contributing to practical measures.&#8221;&#8221;Euronext welcomes initiatives aimed at making the Nordic capital markets even more competitive globally,&#8221; the exchange operator added.&#8221;The region already benefits from strong market traditions, sophisticated investors and successful local ecosystems. The opportunity is to build on these strengths by making it easier for capital to flow across borders,&#8221; a spokesperson for the group told Euronews.Euronext also pointed to its own multi-country structure as a template.&#8221;Our experience demonstrates how deeper liquidity, shared technology and harmonised rules can benefit issuers and investors, while our federal model keeps local exchanges close to the markets they serve,&#8221; the exchange operator concluded.What potentially emerges in Gothenburg in November will show whether the exploratory work has produced anything firmer than analysis.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/business\/2026\/08\/27\/nordics-weigh-merging-their-stock-exchanges-into-one-regional-market&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/89\/10\/53\/1200x675_cmsv2_57054cab-a1cc-5999-8d5a-0bd0dfc9fced-9891053.jpg&#8221;] No Comment Hundreds gather in Oslo to support Norway\u2019s King Harald V No Comment Catastrophic Nepal floods and landslides in Nuwakot leave hundreds still missing Europe News Switzerland eyes drone battalion by 2028, defence ministry says Nepal Death toll hits 392 as rescuers search for missing after Nepal floods No Comment Hundreds [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2115405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2115405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2115405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2115405\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2115405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2115405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2115405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
