“Bloomberg’s FX solutions have enhanced our efficiency by allowing us to streamline our workflow from front to back,” said Zhang Bing, head of Trading at Haier Finance. “On Bloomberg FXGO, we can access real-time executable pricing from multiple banks, click and trade various FX instruments on the best price provided as well as the ability to demonstrate best execution for compliance and reporting purposes. Market transparency and efficiency is vital to the success of our FX business.”
Bloomberg’s FX solutions provide real-time pricing information integrated with news, data and analytics for traders to monitor the markets, analyze trends and generate trading ideas.

“Haier Finance’s selection of Bloomberg’s FX solutions sets a new benchmark for corporate treasury in China,” said Tod Van Name, Bloomberg’s Global Head of FX and Commodities Electronic Trading. “Against the backdrop of uncertain global economic outlook and increasing market volatility, corporate treasurers today are under greater pressure. Financial and corporate executives need better solutions to improve workflow, enhance efficiency and reduce costs. We are looking forward to more and more Chinese corporations and market makers collaborating on our FXGO platform.”
