Business and the $117 Billion a Day Market
East & Partners’ Global Business FX programs provide clients with a detailed and focussed view of market share, wallet share, mind share and customer satisfaction metrics across Spot FX, FX Options and Forward FX Contracts. To complement this multi-client program East & Partners undertook a wider ranging study into Spot FX only, covering aspects such as market share, mind share, execution methods, platform usage and the differences and similarities in behaviour between customer sizes.
This report is based on primary research conducted by East & Partners in July and August 2016. A total of 14,113 individuals responsible for their firms’ business banking FX relationship(s) were interviewed by phone. Individual enterprises targeted for interview were randomly selected into the sample frame and washed for contact validity prior to any contact. All decision makers were involved in importing, exporting or both across Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, UK and USA.
