Kepler Cheuvreux’s execution division KCx has expanded its execution access to the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA).

KCx’s expansion opens trading opportunities in the following countries: Dubai, Kuwait, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain and Egypt.

“In line with our commitment to expanding our global footprint and delivering on our new execution strategy, we are thrilled to announce our entry into the Middle East market,” said Chris McConville, global head of execution services and trading at KCx.

“The MENA region is a key growth hub with its dynamic economies, diverse markets, and increasing investor interest. By enhancing our presence here, we aim to better serve our clients and tap into the significant opportunities this region offers.”

The development follows the launch of new direct market access (DMA) capabilities in the Asia-Pacific markets, announced in December.

The launch enabled clients to execute orders using algorithms in Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Thailand.
