Powerful market, economic and technological trends are pushing the Japanese bond market toward electronification.
The last decade has seen fixed-income trading globally transform from a phone and chat-based network into a sophisticated electronic ecosystem allowing buyers and sellers to interact in new ways.
To manage growing volumes, global bond dealers are increasingly providing access to electronic platforms. The Japanese buy side is looking for ways to cut costs and operate more efficiently to remain competitive, which increasingly means utilizing new all-to-all and request-for-market trading protocols. Automation is a key part of any efficiency strategy, which, in turn, requires greater adoption of e-trading tools.
