AFME Welcomes EU Bond Consolidated Tape Provider
The Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME) has endorsed ESMA's selection of Ediphy (fairCT) as the provider for the EU Bond Consolidated Tape. Victoria Webster, AFME's Managing Director of Fixed Income, emphasized the tape's role in democratizing access to post-trade data, enhancing market transparency and integrity.
The consolidated tape will aggregate bond trade data across Europe, offering investors and issuers a unified view of transactions. AFME urges swift implementation to maximize the initiative's benefits for price discovery and market efficiency.
