Bloomberg Awarded Electronic Trading Platform Contracts by the European Central Bank

Bloomberg today announced that it has been awarded three framework agreements (the ‘contracts’)  in relation to the provision of Electronic Trading Platforms (‘ETP’) to the European Central Bank (‘ECB’) and other Eurosystem National Central Banks (NCBs’).

The contracts cover the provision of ETPs for trading in Euro, U.S. Dollar (USD) and Japanese Yen (JPY) denominated government bonds and USD and JPY IRS, as well as USD and JPY denominated Futures contracts.
