Bloomberg’s legal department advises the business on a broad range of legal and regulatory matters in Asia Pacific. With the legal team’s support, Bloomberg has been actively engaged in regional activities in the past year. For example, in January 2019, it confirmed that Chinese RMB-denominated government and policy bank securities will be added to the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index starting April 2019 and phased in over a 20 month period. When fully accounted for in the Global Aggregate Index, local currency Chinese bonds will be the fourth largest currency component following the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen.
