How electronic quoting could jolt gilts back to life

The UK government bond market has been facing stagnation, with little activity despite its critical role in the economy. Meanwhile, Italy has seen a revival in its bond trading by introducing dealer incentives for on-venue trading.

If London adopts similar electronic quoting strategies, it could breathe new life into its own bond market, highlighting the importance of innovation in maintaining financial health and investor interest.
