Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7499x9/greenwich_report) has announced the addition of the "Greenwich Report - Electronic Trading Tops 60% of Global FX Volume" report to their offering.

Strong growth in electronic trading activity last year pushed electronic foreign exchange volumes above 60% of the overall global FX market for the first time. However, electronic trading systems did not attract new users last year. Instead, eFX growth was driven entirely by a pickup in the share of total foreign exchange trading volume routed to electronic systems by existing users. This report reveals the year-over-year changes in electronic foreign exchange trading volumes both regionally and by industry, as well as the trends in usage of FX platforms types and algorithmic trading.

Methodology: Between September and November 2011, Greenwich Associates conducted interviews with 1,632 top-tier users of foreign exchange services at large corporations and financial institutions in North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
