Executive Interview | Georgiana Kalinescu, Regional Head of Business Development, OneRoyal
At the iFX Expo LATAM in Mexico City, Georgiana Kalinescu, the Regional Head of Business Development for LATAM at OneRoyal, shared her insights in an interview with Andrea Bdiola Mateos, the Chief Commercial Officer of Finance Magnates. They discussed the rise of retail trading in Latin America, Mexico's growing importance in the market, and the impact of algorithmic trading on trading practices.
According to Kalinescu,“Mexico is in the sight of all the brokers, ours as well. We already have strong partners here, and we see tremendous potential,”
Institutional investment in the region is still in its early stages, but the retail sector is witnessing significant growth. With over 20 million residents in Mexico City alone, the market's size and diversity are attracting brokers like OneRoyal to strengthen their presence.
“Latin America, with the advantage of a mostly common language, offers amazing untapped potential,” Kalinescu added.
Volatility Remains a Concern
Kalinescu noted that the Mexican peso has become increasingly unstable, particularly due to recent U.S. tariff changes and political developments in Mexico.
“The Mexican peso has always been volatile, but recent U.S. tariff announcements created even more market instability,” she explained.
Her advice to traders in this environment? Diversification. “Traders should look at hedging strategies and alternative currencies. There’s only so much they can do in such volatile conditions, but being proactive is essential.”
The Rise of Algorithmic Trading in LATAM
As trading evolves globally, Latin America (LATAM) is no exception. Kalinescu emphasised the growing role of algorithmic trading and AI-powered tools. “Algorithmic trading is a major part of the future of the financial markets, especially forex. It’s no longer just for institutions. We’re seeing retail traders increasingly adopt these tools.”
How OneRoyal Uses Big Data
OneRoyal integrates structured and unstructured data sources to monitor market conditions and trader behaviour. From live price feeds and macroeconomic indicators to behavioural analytics, the goal is to improve both the trader experience and internal operations. “We use data to track volatility shifts, detect emerging trends, and optimise our pricing. Ultimately, we aim to empower clients through intuitive tools and a seamless experience.”
Trust and Support Matter
Kalinescu said it’s important to talk openly with clients, especially during uncertain market conditions.
“We let clients know when big market moves are coming. If spreads might grow or margin calls might happen, they deserve to be told.”
She added that good support teams don’t just fix technical issues. They also help traders understand the bigger picture. “If support teams know the market, not just the platform, they can guide clients better.”
