Description & Requirements
We are the engineering team behind Bloomberg Auction System, a global platform for Government monetary operations such as issuing Government debt, performing quantitative easing (QE), conducting short-term lending, and carrying out currency interventions.
The Bloomberg Auction System provides Government agencies including Central Banks, Ministries of Finance, Treasuries, and Debt Management Offices (DMOs) with a robust debt auction solution in a secure environment. Central banks can auction off their debt to primary dealers, while dealers can track central bank auctions and enter bids on government security tenders. The Auction System supports a full range of asset classes, including fixed income, money markets and FX. The platform also supports sales, buybacks, switches and repurchase agreements (repo).
With an excellent track record and global expertise, our systems bring significant credibility to Government operations and enable regional economies with fiscal obligations. Offering a secure and robust solution, it enables seamless auctions for over 40 countries.
In addition to the Auction System, our team also owns a currency exchange aimed at emerging markets. This product has enjoyed rapid growth since its launch and has now been launched in 12 countries around the world.
