Buyside To Drive OTC Growth: Report

The USD350 trillion over-the-counter derivatives market will grow by around USD85 trillion by year-end 2013 due to an influx of buy-side volume stemming from the impacts of coming market reforms in both the U.S. and Europe. According to a Booz & Co. report, market reforms will increase price transparency and reduce risk, thus driving buyside volume and increasing notional value.
