Eurex Bonds is an electronic trading platform (MTF) and provides participants with an off-exchange trading facility for wholesale cash trading in fixed income securities and treasury discount papers - being the leading platform for German Government Bonds.

The necessary liquidity in the bond and basis trading markets is provided by market makers.
