Milan - BondVision, the dealer-to-client market of the MTS Group, is pleased to announce that Royal Bank of Scotland has joined the list of dealers participating in the system.

Royal Bank of Scotland will support all euro-denominated bonds across the yield curve, thus providing BondVision clients with enhanced access to European government bond markets. The participation of Royal Bank of Scotland serves to extend BondVision’s network to 36 dealers, the largest pool of liquidity providers in the dealer-to-client fixed-income market.
