“With five turnover records and three records for number of trades set in share
trading during 2007, we have both managed to handle the peaks and the structural
growth in trading. The inflow of new investment opportunities has continued from
last year giving us 93 new companies and we are especially pleased with the
interest outside the Nordics for listing on the Nordic Exchange. For 2008 we
have already announced a number of initiatives, like fee cuts and post anonymity
trading, in order to further enhance the new trading behaviours that are
becoming more and more dominant on the European exchanges,” says Jukka Ruuska,
President Nordic Marketplaces OMX.

Reported figures concern 2007, comparable figures pertain to 2006, unless
otherwise stated.
Note that since the introduction of the Directive on Markets in Financial
Instruments, MiFID, on November 1, 2007 the rules for trade reporting of
off‑exchange trades (OTC trades) has changed. Before the introduction of MiFID
all off‑exchange trades had to be reported to the exchange were the specific
share is listed. This has now changed and off‑exchange trading could be reported
elsewhere. Furthermore, trades don't need to be reported until three business
days after they have been carried out. Therefore the statistics in this report
is not directly comparable with earlier reports.
For 2007, the number of trades executed automatically on the exchange amounted
to 180 723 (116 612) per business day. The number of trades reported to exchange
amounted to 10 334 (7 868) per business day for 2007.
