CSD register

A CSD register is the register kept by a central securities depository that serves as the share ledger.

What is a CSD register?

A CSD register (Swedish: avstämningsregister) is the register kept by a central securities depository, in Sweden Euroclear Sweden, which serves as the share ledger in a CSD-registered company. The shares are then held in book-entry form, and ownership is shown in securities accounts (VP accounts) instead of by share certificates.

 

CSD register and share ledger

The vast majority of Swedish limited companies are not CSD-registered. They are non-CSD companies (kupongbolag) and keep their own share ledger. NVR's digital share ledger is designed for these companies, not for CSD-registered companies.
