This year marks three years since the China Foreign Exchange Trade System (CFETS) launched the CFETS FX2017 platform, based on EBS technology. 2020 saw the addition of its FX PB trading model and new API services, powering data and trading innovation. China is an extremely important financial market and we are pleased that our long-term partnership has enabled us to play a key role in helping to evolve interbank FX trading.
