The Eurex Bonds platform will expand in 2007 with a new fee model and the launch of multiple technical enhancements and products.
The new fee model, which is said to increase the monetary motivation for voluntary provision of liquidity, was ushered in with the New Year.
The platform is expected to launch the new Xetra Release 8 April. The performance enhancement is designed to maintain processing time when transaction volumes are 5-10 times higher.
Expansion plans for the product range include European Treasury Bills and floating rate notes. More trading participants are also one of Eurex goals, says a spokesman.
