The Irish Stock Exchange (ISE) has admitted Goldman Sachs International (“Goldman Sachs”) as a member firm of the ISE. Goldman Sachs will operate as a Primary Dealer in Irish Government bonds from its London office with effect from Monday 15th February. The admission of Goldman Sachs, part of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as a member of the ISE, brings the number of Primary Dealers recognised by the National Treasury Management Agency to fourteen.
The role of a Primary Dealer is to continuously make two way markets in Irish Government bonds and to participate in competitive auctions organised by the National Treasury Management Agency.
Brian Healy, Director of Traded Markets, Development, Operations at the ISE said “We are delighted to welcome Goldman Sachs International as a Primary Dealer in the Irish Government Bond market. The strength and global presence of Goldman Sachs’s fixed income business will bring further liquidity to the market and continues the diversification of international interest in Irish Government debt.”
