The primary dealer system in lower-income economies

Abstract

This work examines the commercial viability of market-making under the primary dealer system (PD system) in the government securities market (GSM) of lower-income economies, using the three-decomposition model developed for bid-ask spread analysis on the U.S. quote-driven stock markets. Evidence suggests that primary dealers (PDs) were not making a market through two-way firm quotes as it would be commercially inviable in lower-income GSMs. The finding of purposely aggressive PDs in high-income economies prompts a further study on an optimal and fair allocation of resources across the primary and secondary markets.
