The Korea Exchange (KRX) announced on the 17th that Jeong Eun-bo, Chairman of the Korea Exchange, is scheduled to visit the Deutsche B?rse Group (DB Group) in Germany and the Istanbul Stock Exchange (BIST) from the 17th to the 21st to strengthen partnerships in the derivatives markets of Europe and the Middle East.

The exchange is actively promoting overseas exchange cooperation projects to expand its global investment base and enhance market competitiveness in line with new environments such as the introduction of a domestic derivatives night market in June.
On the 18th, Chairman Jeong plans to meet with Thomas Book, Managing Director of DB Group, one of Europe's largest exchange groups, and Robert Bui, CEO of EUREX Exchange, to discuss the opening of the derivatives night market, the smooth completion of the existing KRX-EUREX linked trading project, which is ending, and plans to strengthen the long-standing partnership between the two sides through follow-up cooperation projects. In addition, they will discuss cooperation measures between exchanges to ensure stable market operations in response to the recent expansion of uncertainties in the capital markets due to global trade disputes.
Chairman Jeong will then visit BIST in T?rkiye on the 20th to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) aimed at strengthening mutual cooperation in the derivatives market. An exchange official explained, "BIST operates the most liquid derivatives market in the Middle East region and has a high similarity in market structure with the Korea Exchange, so it is expected that there will be significant benefits such as discovering new cooperative projects between the two exchanges."
The exchange plans to continue expanding strategic alliances to strengthen the global competitiveness of the Korean capital market.
