BrokerTec is on track to acquire a controlling majority stake in e-MID SIM, the first Italian electronic central limit order book platform for inter-bank deposits and overnight indexed swaps.

BrokerTec will integrate e-MID into its architecture to offer additional eurozone repo and government bond products.

Seth Johnson, CEO, EBS BrokerTec, said: “The acquisition of e-MID is strategically important to the BrokerTec business as we look to expand into the Italian financial markets.â€

“Their technology and products are complementary to those of BrokerTec and I’m confident that they will positively contribute to EBS BrokerTec’s overall strategy of providing a truly multi-product offering to an expanded global client base.â€

John Edwards, managing director at BrokerTec Europe, said: “e-MID are an extremely important company within the Italian banking ecosystem with a very strong reputation in the fixed income markets.â€
