Barclays appointed new market maker for Kommuninvest's Swedish Benchmark Programme
Barclays has been appointed as a new market maker for Kommuninvest's Swedish Benchmark Programme, increasing the market maker to six banks: Barclays, Danske Bank, Nordea, SEB, Svenska Handelsbanken and Swedbank. The move is motivated by Kommuninvest's strategy to establish municipal bonds as a liquid part of the Swedish bond market, and also by increased interest from foreign investors.
