BondVision Expands to Central European Issuers
Milan, April 7, 2004 – BondVision is pleased to
announce a significant broadening in the number of listed
bonds on the market with the introduction of 11 Central
European issuers. The expansion comes due to client demand
and in conjunction with the listing of certain of these
securities on NewEuroMTS, the benchmark market for issuers
from the EU Accession States. By including these bonds,
BondVision will promote a more cohesive European marketplace
for investors.
As of 14 April, the following issuers’ euro-denominated
bonds will be available for trading through BondVision:
Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland,
Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and the Ukraine. In addition,
US dollar-denominated bonds from Bulgaria, Poland and the
Ukraine and local currency bonds from the Czech Republic,
Hungary, Poland and Slovakia will also be available on
the BondVision market. Initially, Banca Caboto, Dresdner
Kleinwort Wasserstein, ING, JP Morgan, Lehman Brothers
and UBM will offer liquidity, with more dealers scheduled
to join.
“
We are pleased to support BondVision in order to broaden
the number of investors who can effectively trade in Central
European bonds,” said Lorenzo Stanca, Head of Fixed
Income and Forex Markets at UBM, which has a considerable
presence in Central Europe through direct participation
in local banks. “BondVision is already providing
clients with efficient means to trade EU area bonds and
will now bring this opportunity to another sector of the
marketplace.”
Stefan Grünwald, CEE Fund Manager, Raiffeisen Capital
Management, said: “We welcome the inclusion of Central
European bonds on BondVision as they represent a substantial
percentage of our assets under management. In addition,
it is perfect timing, given the EU enlargement, to have
them available together with an already comprehensive list
of euro-denominated bonds, which includes fixed, index-linked,
floating and zero coupons.”
BondVision is unique in that it offers investors access
to the exceptional liquidity of MTS, the leading electronic
market for European fixed income. Investors access BondVision
free of charge.
