New Market of Amsterdam Exchanges Creates Direct Link With Paris

From June 1999, the New Market of Amsterdam Exchanges is directly linked with the Nouveau Marché de Paris. Banks and trading firms with a cross membership for the Benelux-bourses already use a direct link between Brussels and Amsterdam. This means that three out of the five actual Euro-NM markets are linked directly. At this moment a direct link with Frankfurt, Milan and possible new members of the Euro-NM initiative is subject of a study. Jean-Francois Théodóre, President of the ParisBourseSBFSA comments: "The link between Amsterdam and Paris is a new development in the construction of the Euro.NM network. We are very pleased to have this link placed. I hope it will stimulate trade on Euro.NM between Amsterdam and Paris." George Möller, President of Amsterdam Exchanges says: "We are pleased that we can offer apart from the Benelux cross membership also a direct link with the Nouveau Marché de Paris. The direct link between Brussels, Paris and Amsterdam provides investors and traders with the opportunity to invest fast and efficiently in the various Euro.NM markets." The New Market of the Amsterdam Exchanges is part of the Euro.NM network of stock exchanges for fast growing innovative companies. Euro.NM is one of the world's fastest growing exchanges. From the start in 1998 it has listed more than 240 companies.
