It encompasses the free-wheeling days of the Eurobond market in the 1960s, through the growing integration of the European Union, to the highly regulated and efficient multi-trillion euro business it is today. It is the story of a sector strongly influenced by developments in the US that has nonetheless developed in a uniquely European way.
