The Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) on 6th July 2017, announced it has increased transparency in Canada’s debt market by expanding the information available on its corporate bond web site to include all corporate debt trades by all IIROC-regulated firms.
The corporate bond information site stems from a Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) decision to select IIROC as the Information Processor (IP) for corporate debt securities. As part of the first phase, IIROC began publishing debt trade information from all firms authorized by the Government of Canada as “government securities distributors” in July 2016. All retail transactions and institutional transactions for a designated liquid bond list were included and trades in additional designated liquid bonds were added earlier this year. With today’s launch of the next phase of this service, IIROC has expanded its debt trade transparency to cover all corporate bond trades by all the firms it regulates.
