As of today, a new market making model will come into effect on the Vienna Stock Exchange. In addition to the existing Market Maker, the "Best Bid and Offer" Market Maker (BBO Market Maker) will be introduced in the top segment prime market. The previous Specialist-role will be replaced. Market makers are trading participants who provide additional liquidity in the order book with binding buy and sell bids and ensure execution at market prices. The new BBO Market Maker commits to offering bids at the best available prices – at the top of the order book. Already three well-known market makers (HRTEU Limited, Tower Research Capital Europe BV and XTX Markets SAS) have decided to participate. The aim is to further narrow the spreads and thus to increase the attractiveness of Austrian shares on the Vienna trading venue.
