Overview
The ICMA Nordic Committee, together with Nasdaq and the Nordic Capital Markets Forum, brought together stakeholders in the Swedish Bond Markets to learn more about recent suggestions on how to improve bond liquidity and the growing demand from private investors in light of the recent interest rate hikes.
Is there a need to transform the bond markets way of functioning? Are Swedish issuers missing an opportunity to widen their investor base? If so, what steps need to be taken to facilitate a more transparent, accessible and robust market?
Attendees heard how key market stakeholders representing institutional investors, issuers, advisers as well as retail distributors envision the future Swedish bond market.
