Japanese bank Nomura is growing its EMEA business in London. The bank already appointed Anant Swarup, head of North American rates, to head of emerging markets macro in EMEA last August. People within the firm told Traders Magazine that it landed Gokhan Buyuksarac, rival Goldman’s top emerging markets trader to join the firm. He left Goldman in April. Calls to Nomura or Buyuksarac were returned to confirm but one source with knowledge of the matter said Buyuksarac is likely to get a very senior role  - similar to what he held at Goldman – possibly head of all EMEA trading. In April the bank also landed  David Ishoo Mirzayoo, a veteran emerging markets trader who came from Societe Generale.
