The International Capital Market Association (ICMA) has added 45 new members to its ranks, taking its total to 521.
Due to the fact that many of these new members are in Asia and Africa, ICMA has expanded its board from 16 to 22 to “allow the representation of the geographical diversity of our membership and the different activities of our members”, the association said in a note to members.
ICMA has appointed a Johan Wijkstrom, senior manager business development for Swedbank Markets, as the new chair of its Nordic chapter.
Additionally, ICMA’s French regional committee has brought on Alexandre Gautier, director of market operations department for Banque de France, as vice chair.
ICMA’s future leaders committee, an initiative to introduce junior fixed income professionals to the association, has invited several new representatives, including from Clearstream, ABN AMRO Bank and CMS e-Commerce.
