After more than 20 years, the Federation of European Securities Exchanges (FESE) is meeting in Vienna again for its annual conference. This year's FESE Convention focuses on digitization, supervisory structures in Europe, a review of MiFID II and possible measures to strengthen equity financing in Europe. More than 150 participants, including board members of listed companies, representatives of trading participants, EU parliamentarians and above all experts and management representatives from 22 exchanges, discuss their ideas in the heart of Europe.
"The Vienna Stock Exchange provides technical infrastructure for five stock exchanges in the region and distributes stock prices of ten markets via its lines. This strong positioning makes it a very active player in the European stock exchange community," said Christoph Boschan, CEO of the Vienna Stock Exchange, at the event.
Not only geographically and with its established Eastern European network is Vienna at the centre of the European stock exchange landscape. The Vienna Stock Exchange currently ranks 11th in the turnover ranking of the currently 22 stock exchange operators on the European stock market with an average monthly turnover of around EUR 6 billion.
"As Europe's eleventh-largest exchange operator in terms of turnover, we run for the attention of global investors together with our team colleagues on the global playing field. Our commitment: top performing infrastructure, liquidity and order book quality for our listed companies and committed trading participants. Of course, investors also benefit from this. All exchanges have the common goal of offering investors and companies attractive and fair marketplaces," says Christoph Boschan.
