AFME is pleased to announce the release of the latest edition of the European Primary Dealers Handbook. This comprehensive resource is designed to serve as a critical reference for participants in the European government bond markets, including dealers, brokers, debt management offices (DMOs), investors, and policymakers as well as journalists and academics.
The Primary Dealers Handbook provides an in-depth overview of the infrastructure and organisation of both the primary and secondary government bond markets across 20 European countries as well as the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). It outlines the organisation of the primary dealer systems in each country and the essential roles of primary dealers who provide liquidity and stability in these markets. The updated edition features revised content that reflects the most recent developments in market structures, regulatory frameworks, and policies affecting the European debt markets.
Since its initial publication in 2008, the Handbook has been widely regarded as an invaluable tool for market participants and stakeholders.
"We are committed to providing the most relevant and comprehensive information to those interested in the European government bond markets," said Victoria Webster, Managing Director at AFME. "This update to the Primary Dealers Handbook aims to provide market participants access to essential knowledge to navigate the evolving landscape of European debt markets."
