• Obtaining full membership of World<br />
Federation of Exchanges (WFE). ADX<br />
is the youngest stock market to gain full<br />
membership status in the prestigious<br />
organization since the WFE’s inception in the<br />
1960s.<br />
• Launch of Trading System Replacement<br />
Project. ADX signed an agreement with<br />
NASDAQ OMX to replace the current trading<br />
system (Horizon) with a new trading system<br />
(Xstream)<br />
• Using Free Float to Calculate the Index. A<br />
Free-float index also reflects market trends<br />
more rationally as it takes into consideration<br />
only those shares that are available for<br />
trading in the market. It also makes the<br />
index more broad-based by reducing the<br />
concentration of the top few companies in<br />
the Index<br />
• Using Call Auction Mechanism to calculate<br />
closing price. The migration from the current<br />
system of Volume Weighted Average<br />
Price (VWAP) will help ADX operate more<br />
seamlessly with global systems.<br />
• Obtaining ISO 9001:2008 in Quality<br />
Management.<br />
• Enhancing DVP Module<br />
