Deutsche Börse Connects First Xetra Participant From The United Arab Emirates - MG Trading FZE Active Since Beginning Of August - Access Point In Dubai Available For Xetra As Of Year-End - Deutsche Börse Makes Direct Xetra Access More Attractive

Deutsche Börse has connected the first participant from the United Arab Emirates, TMG Trading FZE, to its electronic trading platform Xetra. Participants from the United Arab Emirates can trade all of the instruments listed on Xetra. Deutsche Börse received the relevant regulatory approval from the Emirates Securities & Commodities Authority at the end of March 2007.

A new access point for Xetra will be available in Dubai from as early as the end of this year. This will provide participants with highly available, direct and low-cost network access to the Xetra trading platform. By establishing the access point, Deutsche Börse is reacting to the rising demand for direct connections from this region. Deutsche Börse already has Xetra access points in major international financial centers across the globe: Amsterdam, Dublin, Frankfurt, Helsinki, London, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Vienna and Zurich.

Rainer Riess, Managing Director of Cash Market Development said, “We are delighted to have our first participant from this fast-growing region, which underpins our strategy of expanding into new markets and regions.”

New Xetra participants receive a trading fee discount of up to €3,000 per month for the first 12 months, as well as a comprehensive introduction into the functionalities of the Xetra system.
