With the launch of OMX Nordic Exchange in 2006, the Nordic exchange markets had a record year in trading, according to Nordea. All time high figures included: average daily turnover, number of trades per day and number of derivatives contracts per day.
The average daily share turnover increased 37 percent in 2006 and the total share trading totalled €1,054 billion.
OMX launched the OMX Nordic Exchange Membership 1 January 2006. The membership allows one membership fee and access to the Copenhagen, Helsinki and Stockholm stock exchanges. It also compiled listed Swedish, Danish and Finnish companies into one Nordic list in October.
In collaboration with Oslo Bors and Iceland Stock Exchange, the Nordic Exchange launched a family index, VINX. The VINX indices reflect development in the regions and highlight the overall investment opportunities in the area.
Most recently the OMX acquired Eignarhaldsfelagid Verdbrefathing (EV), which owns the Iceland Stock Exchange and Icelandic Securities Depository (ISD). By 2 April 2006, the 25 companies that were listed on the Iceland Stock Exchange will be part of the Nordic presentation of Swedish, Finnish and Danish listed companies, along with the family index.
