Date 25/09/2007

The New York Stock Exchange today opened its doors to H.E. Oscar Berger Perdomo, President of Guatemala.

We are pleased to have President Berger and his delegation visit the New York Stock Exchange and the United States and thank him for closing our trading day,” said NYSE Euronext CEO John A. Thain.

New York is the financial capital of the world and the NYSE, with its rich tradition and  technology, the paradigm of the financial markets,” said President Berger. “The degree of sophistication of the financial markets in the US are a source of inspiration for countries like Guatemala, with much less-developed institutions to support modern capital markets to channel savings towards development.

The NYSE is home to 424 non-U.S. companies from 45 countries.  These global and regional leaders have a combined total global market capitalization of over $10 trillion.
