ANNEX a Economic Development Board's Industry Highlights The
ANNEX A Economic Development Board’s Industry Highlights The Economic Development Board, together with its partner agencies the Infocomm Development Authority and the Media Development Authority, aims to make Singapore the region’s media hub. The intention is to promote Singapore as a compelling location for media companies across the entire industry value chain; creating a self-reinforcing, inter-dependent ecosystem that will continuously attract talent, ideas, capital and enterprises to create international products and services from Singapore. Singapore's vision to become the region’s media hub, combining both production and regional business responsibilities, is being realised with enterprises setting up, expanding and extending their operations in Singapore. With our technological capabilities and global reach, Singapore is primed to develop the media industry into an unparalleled success. Below are examples of international companies with presence in Singapore spanning across the Publishing & Information Services, Broadcast & Production and Games & Animation sectors.

Competition Between Exchanges: Euronext Versus Xetra*
Competition Between Exchanges: Euronext versus Xetra* Maria Kasch-Haroutounian / Erik Theissen** January 2003 Abstract: Exchanges in Europe face increasing competition. Smaller exchanges may come under pressure to cooperate with one of the larger exchanges and adopt its trading system. It is, therefore, important to evaluate the attractiveness of the two dominating continental European trading sys- tems, Euronext and Xetra. Though both are anonymous electronic limit order books, there are im- portant differences in the trading protocols. In this paper we use a matched-sample approach to compare execution costs in Euronext Paris and Xetra. We find that both the effective spreads and its components, the realized spread and the adverse selection component, are lower in Xetra. Differ- ences in market organization - we consider differences in the number of liquidity provision agree- ments, and differences in the minimum tick size - do not explain the spread differences. JEL classification: G10, G15 Keywords: Competition between exchanges, bid-ask spread * We thank participants of the 9th Symposium on Finance Banking and Insurance in Karlsruhe for helpful comments. ** University of Bonn, BWL I, Adenauerallee 24-42, 53113 Bonn, Germany, Phone +49 228 739208, Fax +49 228 735924, Email: [email protected] and [email protected], respectively. 1 Introduction European exchanges are in a process of consolidation. Banks and institutional investors are putting pressure on exchange officials to decrease transaction costs. The fragmentation of European exchanges has been identified as one source of high transaction costs. Mergers be- tween exchanges and the joint use of trading systems are considered to be part of the solution. -
