DEUTSCHE BÖRSE, SHENZHEN EXCHANGE CONSIDER JOINT PRODUCTS, TRADING AND DATA

Posted May 23, 2008

FRANKFURT – Deutsche Börse and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange have agreed to exchange information about internalization of financial markets in Germany and China. The information exchange will cover joint product development and distribution, development of new trading functions and sale of trading data.

Deutsche Börse has been more active in China this year, organizing road shows and IPO conferences to promote stock exchange listings for local companies. Last year, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange listed seven companies from China, and Deutsche Börse has begun relationships with key institutions in the Chinese market over the past few years.

Deutsche Börse also plans to open a Beijing office and is planning to expand its global participant network in Asia to strengthen its position in the region as a stock exchange infrastructure provider, as well as to support capital market expansion in Asian markets.
