ZAGREB, Croatia, Oct. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On September 11, 2023, Croatia's financial landscape took a bold step into the future. Središnje Klirinško Depozitarno Društvo (SKDD), also known as the Central Depository & Clearing Company of Croatia, announced the successful launch of its new Central Securities Depository (CSD) platform.
