As a first step the parties have agreed to a framework for exchanging information. This includes regular meetings between senior executives, secondment of staff and joint research projects. Under the terms of the MoUs the parties will enter into detailed discussions and share expertise on a variety of fields, for example joint product development and distribution, design of new trading features and enhancement of data distribution.

Hsu of TSEC, President Steve C Wang of TAIFEX, and President Fortune Ju of TDCC.

We look forward to contributing our expertise in trading, clearing, settlement, market data and IT into this partnership," says Preuss.

TSEC deems it high time to tie up with Deutsche Boerse for the benefit of all European and Asian investors and market participants," comments TSEC Chairman Dr. Gordon Chen. "With a history of just ten years, TAIFEX has achieved remarkable progress and has unparalleled local knowledge," remarks Dr. Wu, Chairman, TAIFEX.
