Growing
In the mean time interest in the DCSX has been growing day by day, says Santine. "Not only local companies increasingly show interest," says Santine. "We also get more inquiries about the DCSX from Latin America, the United States, the Netherlands and even China." The new listings are certainly expected to open the door for more and similar (international) listings on the exchange.
Maxwell Silver has recently affiliated with the DCSX as a listing adviser, making the number of new LAD’s now 14, says Santine. "All these positive developments show trust in the DCSX and will allow the exchange to better position itself among the regional exchanges and adding value to the local financial sector."
The DCSX provides a time saving and cost-efficient listing and trading facility for international and local corporations and investment funds. For more information on the DCSX, please visit the website www.dcsx.an.
