Andrew Brown, Head of FX at BBVA |
Ranking rise: +9 |
Volume increase: +104% |
Head of FX at BBVA Andrew Brown says: “Three years ago we were a fragmented business. But we had a strong client franchise in both Spain and Latin America, and we’ve built on that to establish a global business in which volumes are growing steadily.”
BBVA is largely competing away from the high-volume institutional business, with a focus on retail, mid-cap and large corporate business in its key centres. It is also investing in its electronic trading capabilities for these clients.
