FGB launches new global market information and online e-trading platforms at the 2014 Global Financial Markets Forum

First Gulf Bank (FGB), yesterday announced the launch of two new service products at the 2014 Global Financial Markets Forum (GFMF), which is being held at Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi. The new products from FGB's Treasury and Global Markets Group include an online financial market news and information portal, FGB Insight; which delivers to clients interactive access to the global financial markets, news and research, and empowers their financial decisions by providing the best up-to-the-minute information available. FGB Insight offers real-time exchange and OTC data, market-moving news, company fundamentals and consensus estimates reports, bringing all of the information that FGB's customers need into one place. FGB's second product launch for the event, FGB Access, is an advanced e-trading platform which provides the bank's corporate and institutional customers with access to multiple global market products, via one platform. The new service features encrypted connections for safety and security and can be used for FX and MM trading via streaming rates, using either one or double click trading. The platform can also be configured to meet individual requirements and enables FGB clients to trade using the specific amounts and currencies they need, quickly and efficiently. Utilising the Treasury and Global Markets Group's unique 24/6 coverage model, the platform also provides users with the ability to place orders or trade via an interactive chat facility, facilitating unlimited cross asset coverage around-the-clock. Additionally, corporate customers can trade on behalf of multiple accounts that they can easily switch between, whilst the system also provides a comprehensive MIS for all trading activity, along with sales and trading support. – Emirates News Agency, WAM
