Tom Kloet, CEO, TMX Group said: “Opening an office in Beijing underscores our commitment to ensuring that the benefits of the Canadian capital markets are well understood around the world. We’re pleased to continue TMX Group’s global expansion by opening an office in this important region.”

Minister Flaherty added: “I am honoured to be present in Beijing for the opening of the TSX’s office in the People’s Republic of China. The opening of the TSX office in Beijing demonstrates the opportunities that Canadian businesses see to further their relationship with the People’s Republic of China. It creates an important bridge between our respective capital markets and brings our market participants closer together.”
