Mr. Dewang Neralla, Whole-time Director, Financial Technologies
In my letter addressed to you in the last Annual Report for 2009-10, I shared with you our Group’s Vision of transforming emerging economies by nurturing new technology centric financial exchanges in them. During the year under review, developing such exchanges has enabled the Group to expand its reach to all classes of society, and offer a transparent price discovery mechanism.
I am happy to inform you that the second decade of this millennium saw the Group going verily global, with a well-spread international presence. The main highlight of the year 2010-11 has been the launch of three international exchanges by your Company and its subsidiaries for facilitating trading in several asset classes in the regions, in which they operate. The launch of these exchanges Singapore Mercantile Exchange (SMX) in Singapore, Global Board of Trade (GBOT) in Mauritius and Bahrain Financial Exchange (BFX) in Bahrain has made your Company a truly global financial institution. What’s more remarkable is that these three international exchanges have been established in three different and widely separated economic regions of the world – South-East Asia, Africa and Middle-East. As a consequence, your Company is now poised to tap the immense financial derivative business potential in these regional economies, so as to serve not only the respective regional market players, but also the global market functionaries trading in and with those regions.
