On 25 July 2008, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange welcomed Senator Jean Arthuis, member of the French senate and former Minister of Economy and Finance from August 1995 to June 1997. Senator Arthuis was accompanied by Mr Charles Waline, head of the Secretariat of the Finance Committee of the senate.
Senator Arthuis visited Luxembourg in his capacity as Chairman of the French Committee of Finance, Budgetary Control and Economic Accounts of the Nation. He was welcomed by the executive committee of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
The activities and future plans of the Stock Exchange were presented to Senator Arthuis, notable amongst these were the listing of international securities and the partnership with NYSE Euronext. Officials of the Stock Exchange also highlighted the international dimension of its listing activities. Specialised in the listing of international securities (such as foreign bonds and Global Depositary Receipts), the Luxembourg Stock Exchange has developed a tailored regulatory framework and technical infrastructure that allows it to respond to the needs of the capital markets.
Senator Arthuis also attended a presentation of the CCLux platform, used for the dissemination of investment fund information. As a result of its web-based technology, in particular, this platform is able to assure a high level of transparency for these financial instruments.
The presentations were followed by an exchange of views between Senator Arthuis and officials of the Stock Exchange. This was followed by a meeting with directors of the Stock Exchange and representatives of a number of financial institutions of the Luxembourg financial centre.
