DIFX Recognised By World Federation Of Exchanges
The Dubai International Financial Exchange (DIFX) has been accepted as a correspondent
member of the World Federation of Exchanges, the leading international body
promoting the interests of securities markets. “Our link with the Federation is another step in the integration of the
DIFX with the global capital markets community," commented Per E. Larsson,
Chief Executive of the DIFX. "The DIFX will support and benefit from the Federation’s activities
in promoting the efficiency of regulated markets, creating cross-border initiatives
and harmonising standards," he added. Correspondent status is the first step towards full membership of the Federation,
which groups most of the world’s leading exchanges. The Federation’s
activities include lobbying public authorities on behalf of exchanges, hosting
conferences and collating industry statistics. “We are delighted to have achieved correspondent membership just over
a year after the exchange opened in September 2005," continued Larsson. "The Federation is an effective forum through which we will communicate
with other markets in the region and beyond," he noted. In June 2006 the DIFX was admitted as an affiliate member of the International
Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), another leading international
body that promotes high standards amongst regulators and stock exchanges.
