Footprint in Africa leads to diverse liquidity, says Standard Bank's Richard de Roos
It has been a busy year for Standard Bank in the electronic foreign exchange space. The South African bank relaunched its single-dealer platform (SDP) earlier this year, using technology provided by Caplin Systems, to cover FX and precious metals across spot, forwards, swaps and orders. And that initiative came just over a year after the bank signed with TraderTools to install its liquidity management platform for FX liquidity aggregation.
