LSEG has partnered with Banque de la République du Burundi (BRB), the central bank of Burundi, to deliver a full suite of modern financial market solutions.
The partnership has been established to accelerate the modernisation of Burundi’s financial infrastructure. By introducing automated and digital systems, the collaboration aims to create a more transparent, efficient, and resilient market environment that can support sustainable economic growth.
LSEG, headquartered in London, operates regulated equity markets and provides financial data, analytics, and trading platforms used worldwide. BRB, as the central bank of Burundi, oversees the country’s monetary policy, foreign exchange, and financial stability. Together, they are working to strengthen the country’s financial ecosystem in line with global standards.
The collaboration will see the introduction and automation of critical areas of Burundi’s market infrastructure. This includes foreign exchange trading, interbank liquidity management, open market operations, and market surveillance. LSEG’s platforms being deployed include FX Trading, Money Market Trading for liquidity, Auctions for open market activity, and Market Tracker for automated reporting and oversight.
All of these services will be delivered via LSEG Workspace, which is designed to provide secure and transparent access to financial markets. This will allow the central bank and authorised institutions to manage operations more efficiently and with greater visibility.
Banque de la République du Burundi governor Edouard Normand Bigendako said, “This partnership with LSEG marks a transformative moment in our financial sector. By automating and digitising our market operations, we are enhancing transparency, improving operational efficiency, and laying the foundation for a more resilient and inclusive financial system that supports long-term growth.”
LSEG managing director for Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa Nadim Najjar said, “We are proud to support the Central Bank of Burundi as it advances its financial market infrastructure. Through the deployment of our integrated platforms, we are enabling the transition to a more modern, transparent, and efficient financial ecosystem, one that empowers national economies and connects them to global standards.”
