In what ways might the recent global economic downturn increase demand for the provision of more regionally focused FX products and e-commerce services?
Lundvall: In a way I believe that that the increase in demand for more regionally solutions is not only a matter of FX products and e-commerce services but applies for a much larger area
What we are experiencing is a number of counterparties that have decided to either cut down or shut down all together due to the global economic downturn
This of course creates a shift in demand and new ways of handling ones' business
What we are seeing is an overall review from both market takers and market providers in a number of areas
On a whole I feel we will see more focus on comprehensive risk management than before and a larger need to capture risk in real time across different asset classes
I also consider that it’s very likely we will see much more focus on trading relationships and closer collaboration between market takers and market providers than before
