"We are committed to partnering with institutions, like BondVision, which provide our clients with strong benefits," said Dirk Laenen, Head Sovereign Debt, KBC Bank. "Our clients are large participants in the European bond markets, particularly in Belgian government bonds and EUR denominated Central European government bonds, and as such we are pleased to offer them the BondVision solution."
