London's Stock Exchange opens doors in China
The London Stock Exchange opens an office in Beijing, encouraging the market growth of Chinese companies by giving them access to the strong international investor base at London’s premier listing venue.
Clara Furse, Chief Executive of the London Stock Exchange, said: “We feel sure that having a permanent presence in Beijing, the capital of one of the world’s fastest growing economies, will ensure we remain the world’s most successful major exchange for capital raising by international companies. We are particularly pleased to play a role in supporting China’s global companies and industrial development goals.”
The Exchange is the world’s premier international equity exchange. There are currently more Chinese companies on the Exchange’s market than on any other major international exchange.
AIM, the Exchange’s market for small companies, has also proved popular. Over the past two years AIM has attracted 68 Chinese companies, which have enjoyed significant growth.
