NZX Joins World Federation Of Exchanges

Date 30/10/2013

Following a vote at the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) 53rd General Assembly and Annual Meeting in Mexico City, NZX has today been confirmed as a member of the WFE.

The WFE is the international trade association of 57 publicly regulated stock, futures and options exchanges, and is a central reference point for the securities industry and exchanges. 
Candidates are selected for membership following a peer review, and once selected, member exchanges must adhere to the WFE Membership Criteria.

NZX CEO Tim Bennett commented from the WFE meeting in Mexico City: “We are delighted to become a member of the World Federation of Exchanges, which is a valuable international forum to share information and knowledge with other exchanges around the world.”

WFE CEO Huseyin Erkan commented: “We are very happy to re-admit NZX to WFE membership; NZX will bring great knowledge and expertise to the membership, and we are looking forward to working with them closely again."
