Following Monday’s launch of government bond trading through the Clearstream depository, primary placements of hryvnia government bonds are to be also handled by the international trading platforms Refinitiv and Bloomberg Tradebook by the end of this summer, according to the National Bank of Ukraine. Currently, Ukrainian stock exchanges handle most primary and second trades of Ukrainian government bonds, about 100 billion hryvnias in trades during the first quarter of this year. Interfax-Ukraine reports that Ukraine’s Securities and Stock Market Commission says foreign-based trading platforms need to get permission to handle the trades.
