The Vienna Stock Exchange has included Barclays Bank Ireland as a new trading member on its platform.
The new international trading member will participate in trading as of today. These entities currently contribute to more than 85% of the equity turnover in Vienna.
Specifically, 47.6% of the turnover originates from Germany, 20.7% from France (20.7%), and 11.3% from Ireland.
Barclays joins a list of 66 members who are currently admitted to trading on the exchange, including 21 Austrian and 45 international banks and securities firms.
Raoul Salomon, co-head of markets at Barclays Europe, said: “Barclays serves clients with comprehensive and integrated solutions across global markets, and we are pleased to join the Vienna Stock Exchange today. Europe is central to our strategy and joining this exchange will offer our clients direct access to an important European market and help diversify portfolios.”
Last September, the Vienna Stock Exchange included electronic market maker Optiver to its platform.
