Deirdre Somers, CEO, Irish Stock Exchange, Speech From Todays Published Accounts Awards

Date 22/11/2012

Good afternoon everyone – it is a pleasure to be here again.  Congratulations to all the shortlisted
companies and, of course, the winners.   I can honestly say that where this event is concerned it is, uniquely, really and truly not about the winning but about the shortlist. We are moving, thankfully, into a more transparent world.  Stakeholders are becoming more and more intolerant of poor or opaque information or boiler plate language which ticks a regulatory box but says nothing.   This will be a learning process for many Irish companies – and the companies in this room are the teachers, settingthe standards for others to follow.

On the eve of the 18th CPC National Congress (the Party Congress for short), the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) held a Party committee meeting for well-organized preparations and arrangements for study and implementation of the Report to the Party Congress (the Report for short). Since the opening of the Party Congress, the SSE has organized cadres and masses to watch the live broadcast about the Party Congress and relevant news in accordance with the unified deployment of the CPC SSE Committee. The members of the CPC SSE Committee and the President's Office attended the special meeting held by the CPC Committee of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) for study of the Report while all the SSE Party branches and the departments held symposia, discussions and other activities for study and implementation of the Report. Around the Party Congress, the SSE organized experts and scholars from the companies in securities, fund and insurance sectors to hold a symposium in honor of the Party Congress for discussion on the development of the capital market. Besides, the SSE published three research reports in a row on the historic opportunities brought by the development of China's economy and capital market with the opening of the historic meeting, which aroused great attention and active response from the market. Apart from the importance of well studying and understanding the Report, the SSE was fully aware of the greater importance to ponder over what opportunities, expectations and directions implied in the important strategic arrangements and grand goals of the Report for the construction of the multi-tiered blue chip market when carrying out the requirements in the Report, combining the requirements in the Report with the actual conditions in the construction of the multi-tiered blue chip market, studying the Report in a thinking and problem-solving way, and unifying thoughts and actions in the construction of the multi-tiered blue chip market.
