EuroCTP, the joint venture by 14 European exchanges set up to tender for the EU’s equities consolidated tape (CT), has added two new advisory board members. The firm states in a press release that having the sector’s recognised professionals on board will “help enrich discussions and strengthen the development of the European consolidated tape”.
The two new members are Alexandre Roubaud of BlackRock and Jaafar Amrani BNP Paribas. Roubaud is the EMEA head of secondary and options markets at BlackRock’s iShares Global Markets. He is also a member of the Secondary Markets Standing Committee (SMSC) Consultative Working Group at the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). Amrani is the head of EMEA liquidity strategy at BNP Paribas CIB Global Markets.
Eglantine Desautel, CEO of EuroCTP says, “For the tape to be successful and to maximise its uptake we must ensure it meets the needs of a wide range of users and democratises access to real time market data.”
EuroCTP intends to invite more members to join “in the coming period”.
