My team are responsible for market-making European government bonds, so that’s the debt of European governments. We buy the bonds at auction, provide liquidity to a broad set of clients, and help central banks to implement monetary policy via quantitative easing. Not only is it a fascinating and exciting role, but it’s also incredibly important at the moment, as we see a sizeable fiscal and monetary response to the COVID-19 crisis. - Sarah, Head of European Government Bond Trading, Managing Director (UK)
