Deutsche Borse aims for more Chinese listings

DEUTSCHE Borse, Germany's stock exchange based in Frankfurt, is hopeful that more Chinese companies will choose to list there because the enterprises, which performed creditably on the market, have become popular with German investors.

"A growing number of Chinese companies enter the global stage through Deutsche Borse's platform this year, injecting new vitality into global capital markets," said Alexander Hoptner, head of markets services at Deutsche Borse AG, at the third Deutsche Borse China-Europe Forum in Shanghai yesterday.

He said that the exchange is committed to provide a stable, professional and efficient trading environment for the Chinese enterprises and also act as a platform to link companies and international investment specialists.

"Our goal is to become the best partner for Chinese companies listing abroad and help them to achieve growth in value with our customized services," Hoptner said.

Currently 24 Chinese companies have successfully floated their shares on the German bourse, and seven of them were listed this year.

In March, Joyou AG became the first Chinese manufacturer of sanitary ware products to trade on the Deutsche Borse's Prime Standard. It secured 105 million euros (US$141.5 million) in capital, which was the largest amount raised publicly for a Chinese company on the bourse so far.

Hoptner expected up to five more Chinese companies to list in Frankfurt in the remainder of this year.

Firms which have listed have performed strongly so far, Hoptner said. Asian Bamboo AG, a Chinese company producing bamboo products, saw its share price soar 274 percent in 2009. So far this year its share price has surged by 80 percent.
