Qatar, 5 September 2010 – The Qatar Exchange has reached a major mile-stone in its drive to develop in Doha a world class financial center by launching the Universal Trading Platform, with the system successfully going live at the start of trading today.
The introduction of the Universal Trading Platform means that the country’s cash equities exchange will operate with the same state-of-the-art technology as NYSE Euronext, the global trading group and strategic partner of the Qatar Exchange since June 2009.
