Societe Generale gains ground in fixed income trading push
Hatem Mustapha and Francisco Oliveira are co-heading Societe Generale Global Markets business. Together, they answered Christopher Whittall’s questions in an article published in International Financial Review (IFR) on 4 July 2025.
"Societe Generale’s drive to expand fixed income trading is starting to bear fruit, as the French lender pushes ahead with plans to diversify its markets division beyond the structured equity derivatives business that has underpinned its trading revenues for years.
SG’s average daily trading volumes in spot foreign exchange are up 70%–80% this year, the bank said, comfortably outstripping growth in the wider market. This has propelled SG into the top 10 on all the main multidealer trading platforms for FX spot globally and into the top five in EMEA, SG said.
The rapid strides in FX follow the appointment earlier this year of veteran trader Francisco Oliveira as co-head of global markets to spearhead an expansion in fixed income and currencies trading. That is running alongside SG’s concerted effort to broaden the scope of its stock trading unit by doing more in cash equities and prime brokerage.”
