(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Eighteen government organizations and central banks across the region sign up
Thomson Reuters Eikon to benefit from ease-of-use, depth of content, advanced
search and analytics
HONG KONG, LONDON, NEW YORK, 15 April 2013 - Thomson Reuters, the world's
leading source of intelligent information for businesses and professionals,
today revealed that 18 central banks and government organizations in Asia
Pacific have recently rolled out the flagship Thomson Reuters Eikon platform for
real-time financial data, analytics, news and commentary.

Reuters Eikon in recent months include the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Reserve
Bank of New Zealand, Reserve Bank of India, Nepal Rastra Bank, Central Bank of
the Republic of China (Taiwan), State Bank of Vietnam, Bank of the Lao P.D.R and
Royal Monetary Authority of Bhutan.
Financial professionals are now using Thomson Reuters Eikon in 27 countries
across the Asia Pacific region. The platform has received particularly positive
feedback from customers for its new advanced search functionality which can
interpret natural language queries to present a full answer in graphical format
using data from multiple sources and advanced visualization techniques. The use
of semantic search in financial markets removes the need for financial

from hours to seconds and this really is a paradigm shift for financial markets
professionals, enabling them to spot opportunities faster than their
competition."
