“The fact that we have been able to handle all the peaks in the trading during
this year shows that we have invested in the right infrastructure for our market
and we foresee this trend to continue given new trading behaviors and the
increased international interest for the listed companies. We have also
completed a significant upgrade of our trading system that enables market
participants to benefit from the opportunities that MiFID offers,” says Jukka
Ruuska, President of Nordic Marketplaces at OMX.
