    Borsa Istanbul-Communication with Stakeholders

    BORSA İSTANBUL-COMMUNICATION WITH STAKEHOLDERS Last updated on: [January 2015] BUSINESS STRATEGY 1. How does your exchange define and view the rationale for corporate sustainability and the exchange's role in promoting it? There are several stakeholders that play a key role in shaping the sustainable investment climate: legislators, policy-makers, multilateral agencies, professional bodies that set accounting and auditing standards and of course securities exchanges. Exchanges traditionally act as a center of liquidity to enable companies to access sources of much needed capital and offer investors opportunities to diversify their portfolios. Due to their involvement with an extensive variety of market participants, they increasingly play the role of protagonists in defining the rules and best practices that reflect the aspiration of these participants and of society as a whole. In this respect, the main role of an exchange is to raise ESG awareness and standards among listed companies to encourage companies to become more sustainable and eventually help create a better future for next generations. In accordance with this commitment, Borsa Istanbul accomplishes its mission through diversified means which includes the provision of specially designed focused products and services, and engagement in initiatives that aim to enhance the awareness and knowledge. 2. How does your exchange's senior leadership and organizational structure support the promotion of corporate sustainability in its market(s)? Borsa Istanbul puts the compliance with the principles of UN Global Compact at the core of its sustainable business and growth. At the Board level, the Corporate Governance Committee is responsible from the monitoring of the Exchange’s business practices in accordance with regulations in terms of environment and public health.

The subdued turnover is mainly a result of declining velocity (peak-to-date -43%), but a dearth of IPOs and an increase in privatisation deals have further exacerbated the situation. We discuss a few structural drivers like higher free float and high frequency trading, which could improve velocity in the long term. ■ Derivatives growth secular and less volatile. Derivatives' revenue growth of 18% CAGR in the past five years has been a great stabiliser—more than offsetting a 7% fall in securities revenue.

  • Equity Markets USD 47 Tn

    Equity Markets USD 47 Tn

    19 January 2012 2011 WFE Market Highlights 2011 equity volumes remained stable despite a fall in market capitalization. Derivatives, bonds, ETFs, and securitized derivatives continued to grow strongly. Total turnover value remained stable in 2011 at USD 63 tn despite a sharp decrease of the global market capitalization (-13.6% at USD 47 tn). High volatility and global uncertainty created from the sovereign debt crisis affected volumes all year through and made August 2011 the most active month in terms of trading value, a highly unusual annual peak for markets. Despite overall unfavorable conditions for primary markets in several regions, WFE members increased their total listings by 1.7% totaling 45 953 companies listed. Total number of trades decreased by 6.4% at 112 tn. This trend combined with the stability of turnover value led to a small increase in the average size of transaction which was USD 8 700 in 2011. The high volatility and lack of confidence that affected financial markets globally probably drove the needs of hedging as derivatives contracts traded grew by 8.9%. WFE members continued to diversify their products range as other products such as bonds, ETFs, and securitized derivatives all had solid growth in 2011. Equity Markets Market capitalization USD 47 tn -13.6% Domestic market capitalization declined significantly in 2011 to USD 47 401 bn roughly back to the same level of end 2009. The decline affected almost all WFE members, as there were only four exchanges ending 2011 with a higher market capitalization. The magnitude of the decline is quite similar among the three time zones: -15.9% in Asia-Pacific, -15.2% in EAME and -10.8% in the Americas.

    Press release 29 August 2017 B3 transfers equities to its multi-asset clearing platform Cinnober’s real-time clearing solution now handles post trading process for both the equities and the derivatives markets in Brazil • BRL 21 billion of collateral returned to the market (approx. USD 6,4 billion) • Phase two completed of major Post-Trade Integration Project going from two clearinghouses to one for equities and derivatives • More efficient risk management by analyzing the risk on entire portfolios B3 (the Brazilian exchange and clearinghouse) successfully launched on Monday the equities, corporate bonds, and equities lending markets on its new multi-asset clearing platform. The clearing solution is delivered by Cinnober, built on its TRADExpress RealTime Clearing system. The migration of the equities clearinghouse was the target for phase two of B3’s Post-Trade Integration Project that will consolidate B3’s originally four clearinghouses into one integrated entity (managing equities, derivatives, government and corporate debt securities and FX). Derivatives and OTC products were the first to launch on the new platform in phase one. With the new integrated clearinghouse, B3 manages risk more efficiently. By analyzing the risk on entire portfolios, the clearinghouse can compensate if an investor has opposite positions in the same underlying asset across product groups and markets. When financial and commodity derivatives, along with OTC products, migrated to the new clearinghouse in phase one, the total systemic benefit in terms of margin release amounted to around BRL 20 billion. The estimated effect from Monday’s launch of phase two is BRL 21 billion of collateral that was returned to the market with complete preservation of the clearinghouse’s safety system.
