Amundi conducts 70 per cent of its currency transactions in the region electronically, up from 15- 20 per cent two years ago, according to David Logerais, the Singapore-based head of Asian trading. Out of all fixed-income trading, 60-65 percent is now done online, he said. Amundi oversees the equivalent of about US$1 trillion in trading globally, according to its website.
