OTC Clearing recorded strong growth in August 2026, as notional outstanding volumes climbed 25 percent year on year to EUR 56,187 billion up from EUR 45,049 billion in August 2025. Growth was driven largely by the swaps product group, led by overnight index swaps, which jumped 71 percent year on year to EUR 10,046 billion.

Eurex Repo, Eurex’s leading electronic marketplace for secured funding and financing, sustained its strong momentum in August. Average term-adjusted volumes rose 24 percent to EUR 470.6 billion, driven by the GC Pooling segment, which grew 19 percent to EUR 260.1 billion, as well as by the Repo segment, which posted 30 percent growth in August 2026.
