Approved Publication Arrangement (APA)

Ensure Post-trade Transparency of OTC Transactions with the Approved Publication Arrangement (APA)

Our APA service provides a high-performance solution that enables the reporting of transactions across all financial instruments (i.e., equities, bonds, and derivatives) admitted to trading in the EU, executed OTC or on trading venues not recognized as equivalent by ESMA.

Through a single point of entry, client-reported data is collected, standardized, and published in real time, or with the deferrals required by regulation, in an automated and user-friendly manner. Additionally, the APA can be used by Systematic Internalisers (SIs) for the publication of firm quotes.

Access to APA Information

The publication of APA information is done through the MDDX platform.
