“Animal spirits continue to stoke M&A activity in the exchanges sector. A consortium led by Kuwait's National Investment Co and including the Hellenic Exchanges SA has won a tender to acquire 44 percent of the Kuwait stock exchange and there are plans by the Kuwait exchange for an IPO at a later stage to sell 50 percent and get listed. Down under, ASX is selling its entire shareholding in software company IRESS. Meanwhile, Euronext has sweetened its bid for Oslo Bors VPS Holding ASA in a push to outbid its rival bidder Nasdaq.“
