Selon Peter G. Dunne, qui a rédigé un article pour le CEPS, la structure des marchés obligataires souverains d’Europe s’est développée d’une manière segmentée et doit subir des modifications pour gagner en transparence.
The author calls for a re-orientation of obligations and incentives to bring about a reduced segmentation of the market and spread the burden of liquidity provision across a wider group of market participants.
The segmented nature of euro-dominated sovereign bond markets is an obstacle to transparency, writes Dunne. He argues that European sovereign issuers have the power and influence to provide incentives that would encourage dealers to support reduced segmentation. Likewise, dealers themselves can provide liquidity to investors by widening access to the inter-dealer segment of the market.
By allowing the largest and most active investors access to inter-dealer electronic trading platforms, the author argues that the structure can be altered without adversely affecting liquidity, efficiency, or the benefits enjoyed by primary dealers and issuers.
