Price transparency

Price transparency is the amount of information available to market participants about prices.

Price transparency takes two forms:

1. 'Pre-trade price transparency', i.e. the prices at which counterparties advertise they are willing to buy or sell specific financial instruments.
2. 'Post-trade price transparency', i.e. the prices at which counterparties recently bought or sold specific financial instruments.
