Hans-Ole Jochumsen, Executive Vice President, Transaction Services Nordics and Global Data Products NASDAQ OMX, comments: “Share trading volumes were down all over the world in 2012, and also at NASDAQ OMX Nordics. However it’s very pleasing to see that the interest for Nordic shares has increased compared to other European shares.
The Nordic share of total European trading increased from 7.5 to 8.1 during 2012. And in a continuously increased competition NASDAQ OMX Nordics managed to maintain a market share at between 65-70 %, which is high compared to most other incumbent markets. The growth in total market cap is one of the highest of the major exchanges in Europe during 2012.
Furthermore, we´re very pleased at NASDAQ OMX Nordic to be the only incumbent exchange in Europe that has managed to gain substantial market share at another market. In December we had almost 13 % of the Norwegian market, with all time high at over 18 percent. For eg the Statoil share we have reached above 30 % some days.”
