Fixed Income

Overview

The fixed income division monitors and formulates industry-wide responses to developments in regulation, policy and market structure that affect the government, corporate and covered bond markets. AFME maintains a high level of active engagement with European regulators in relation to the ongoing MiFID II Review on key issues such as the development of a bond consolidated tape, non-equity transparency regime (with a particular focus around post-trade deferrals), and market data, which have a significant impact on the functioning of fixed income markets.

Key themes of our work focus around AFMEs support for a well calibrated transparency framework for bond markets that protects investors and does not put committed liquidity providers at any undue risk.
