Indonesia is one of the largest EM bond markets in the region, valued at around USD 220 BN equivalent. To date, 18 of the 20 Primary Dealers for Government Bonds (SUN) have become SPPA users, along with a further three Indonesian bond market players who can start using SPPA as a bond and sukuk trading platform.
AxeTrading was chosen by IDX as the on-going technology partner for the platform, through a strict selection process over other global prospective partners, for its over 10 years of experience in electronic trading and its expertise in the fixed income market.
