“An effective global FX trading network requires presence in smaller, emerging markets, and partnering with liquidity providers such as Crown Agents Bank furthers those capabilities,” said Neill Penney, Managing Director, Co-Head of Trading, Refinitiv. “Refinitiv continues to deliver further liquidity and seamless FX trade execution in the FX market by taking its market-leading FX trading and research capabilities and growing them across Africa and Asia.”
