Calypso Selected by Central Banks for Capital Markets Operations

The two central banks will replace their treasury and trading legacy systems with Calypso solution and will benefit from the vendor's cross asset end-to-end functionality on a single platform. The system will help manage their foreign-exchange (FX) activities, portfolio management, reserve management, collateral management, risk management and accounting.

"We look forward to enabling Banque de France and Banco de España to achieve their business objectives and furthering Calypso's position as a trusted partner to central banks and sovereign institutions around the globe," says Charles Marston, Chairman and CEO at Calypso. "We expect that other central banks both within the Eurozone and worldwide will closely monitor this endeavor."

Calypso has already been rolled out to support other central-bank or sovereign-institution customers, including the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Bank of Korea.
