Press Release

 

Athens Stock Exchange and Bank Audi SAL participated in the competitive bid process that was organised by the Lebanese Capital Markets Authority - CMA for the Establishment of a new Exchange (Electronic Trading Platform - ETP) in Lebanon,  by forming a Consortium in which ATHEX contributed with its know-how as an International Operator and as Systems and Services provider and Bank Audi with its experience and leading position as a financial institution operating in Lebanon, and the wider Middle East and North Africa region.

Following a selection process where 3 bids were submitted, the CMA awarded through a letter to the Bank Audi-ATHEX Consortium the establishment of the new Exchange. The Consortium will contribute $20 million to the ETP's share capital. ATHEX's related participation is expected to reach $1 million.

The active involvement of ATHEX in the new Lebanese Exchange is part of the Group's strategy to leverage its trading and post-trading technical and business know-how and systems in running successfully the Common Platform concept, with Cyprus Stock Exchange (CSE) since 2006, in providing systems and services to the Hellenic National Natural Gas System Operator (DESFA) since 2017, in designing and supporting solutions for third parties in the financial industry, in setting up to provide systems and services to the Hellenic Energy Exchange (ENEX) (since 2018) and its recent involvement in the privatization of Boursa Kuwait (2019).

As a next step, ATHEX along with Bank Audi will closely cooperate with the CMA to implement an effective capital market which will appeal to local and international investors and contribute to the growth of the Lebanese Capital Markets.

Socrates Lazaridis, ATHEX Group CEO, said: "The successful participation of ATHEX in the selection process for the establishment of the new Electronic Trading Platform (ETP) in Lebanon is additional recognition for the Group as an international Market Operator and provider of capital market infrastructure services. The successful utilization of the relations that have been developed through our participation - as part of the Consortiums - in Boursa Kuwait and the ETP in Lebanon provides the base for enhancing our know-how of supporting capital markets in the Middle East. Also, the networking externalities achieved among peripheral capital markets in the context of capital markets internationalization, increases the prospects of international capital accessing those market and offers benefits to all participants in those markets."
