Preliminary Rules Governing Future Indices On The Copenhagen Stock Exchange

Date 29/11/2000

Last Monday, the Exchange published the guidelines for the coming industry classification of the equity market and for the coming benchmark index.

To inform the market we, like our NOREX partners, today decided to publish the preliminary rules for the coming benchmark index, although they are only available as a “consultative paper”. This way the market may get an idea of the discussions and analyses that take place under the auspices of the NOREX Alliance. As soon as the final version of the rules is available, the Exchange will notify the market.

The preliminary rules (at present only available in English) are downloadable at the Exchange’s web site, www.xcse.dk/uk/bestilling/pjecer/index.asp#3, click Publications and Order Form. Please note that the rules have not been finalised yet.
