Irish Stock Exchange Sticks With Xetra Platform

The Irish Stock Exchange (ISE) will continue to use Deutsche Börse's Xetra platform for electronic securities trading until the end of 2016, it has announced.

Xetra, which is also used by exchanges in Austria, Bulgaria, Slovenia and Malta, has helped to create an accessible trading and clearing infrastructure at the ISE, according to Brian Healy, director of traded markets, development and operations at the exchange.

"Our choice of Deutsche Börse and the Xetra platform has been very successful over the last 12 years and our assessment of the strategic advantages of the partnership remains as strong as ever," he says. "It is a key element in our provision of a leading edge, easily accessible trading and clearing infrastructure, on a very cost competitive basis, to our diverse membership base."
