GEM acceptable as a non-regulated market for
Eurosystem monetary policy.
Irish Stock ExchangeThe Irish Stock Exchange’s Global Exchange Market (GEM) has been approved by the European Central Bank (ECB) as an acceptable non-regulated market for the Eurosystem’s monetary policy.
As a result, securities listed on GEM can now be assessed under the eligibility criteria of marketable assets set down by the ECB credit assessment framework. Eligible marketable assets approved by the ECB can be pledged as collateral by counterparties and credit institutions in order to gain access to the Eurosystem’s liquidity-providing monetary policy operations and intraday credit.
GEM has been approved under the Eurosystem’s assessment of non-regulated markets which is based on three principles – safety, transparency and accessibility.
GEM joins a small number of non-regulated markets in Europe which meet the ECB’s “acceptable market” criteria. The Main Securities Market of the ISE, an EU regulated market, already meets the ECB standard.
Gerard Scully, Director of International Primary Markets, at the ISE said, “We are delighted that GEM has been deemed acceptable as a non-regulated market for the Eurosystem’s monetary policy regime. The approval of GEM should increase the potential range of securities available to financial institutions as collateral and recognises the high regulatory standards applied by the Irish Stock Exchange to the operation its debt markets.”

ISEQ one of the top performing indices in 2012.
.
- ISEQ equity indices enjoy buoyant returns ranging from 16% to 37% in 2012.
- 2.4m equity trades in 2012 are the second highest on record at the ISE.
- Year on year turnover in Irish equities up 4.7%.
- Irish Government raises €11.7bn in international bond markets during 2012.
Thursday 24th January 2013
ISEQ equity indices enjoyed buoyant returns and were one of the top performing indices in 2012, according to the Irish Stock Exchange’s quarterly statistics, published today.
Continuing their positive run into Q4 2012, the eight benchmark ISEQ equity indices all showed returns of more than 16% in 2012. A comparison of the ISEQ Overall index which grew by 17.1% in 2012 to 3,397 shows the ISEQ was one of the top performing indices in Europe and outperformed other major equity indices in 2012 such as the FTSE100 (5.8%), the S&P500 (13.4%), the NYSE US100 (11.2%) and the Eurozone benchmark index, the FTSE E300 (13.2%).
The smaller to mid-sized companies sector performed very strongly, with the ESM index, the benchmark for the Enterprise Securities Market, delivering a return of 27.6% in 2012 and the small cap index registering 18.1% growth. The financial index rose by 37.2% over the year.
2.4m equity trades in 2012 are the second highest on record at the ISE
With equity trades of 2.42m during 2012, trades in shares quoted on the ISE were at their second highest level ever recorded on the Irish market [2008: 2.52m trades]. The ISE has now recorded in its fifth consecutive year of over 2m trades.
Year on year turnover in Irish equities up 4.7%
Turnover in Irish shares was up by 14% in the last quarter in the year with equity turnover of €37.3bn in 2012 [2011: €35.7bn] showing year on year growth of 4.7%. This positive growth compares very favourably with other exchanges across the EU and North America, many of which experienced a drop in the value of electronic trading in 2012.
Majority of ISEQ Bond indices deliver double digit growth in 2012
All ISEQ bond indices rose in 2012 continuing on from their strong performance of 2011. Five of the six indices delivered double digit growth with four showing exceptional returns of more than 20%. The best performing bond indices of 2011, the longer term 5 Plus ISEQ Bond index and the 10 Plus ISEQ Bond index, maintained their overall rankings by showing increases of 28% and 29.3% for 2012 respectively.
Despite a fall in numbers of trades over the year, turnover in Irish Government Bonds and Treasury Bills rose by 2.8% in 2012 to €67.1 billion [2011: €65.2bn]. In addition, the primary dealer network for Government Bonds expanded with the addition of Morgan Stanley as a member firm of the ISE in Q4.
Irish Government raises €11.7bn in international bond markets in 2012
Following its decision to re-engage with international bond markets in 2012, the Irish Government, via the NTMA, has successfully raised over €11.7bn in Irish Government bonds and Treasury Bills in 2012 [2011: nil].
Debt and Fund Listings
The last quarter of 2012 showed an upsurge in bond and fund listings, with 674 debt tranches admitted to listing on the ISE in Q4 2012 [Q3 2012: 472], an increase of 43% on the previous quarter. New fund securities admitted to the ISE’s markets also rose, with 428 classes joining the ISE’s Main Securities Market, during the last quarter [Q3 2012: 314].
At the end of 2012, the number of funds and sub funds listed on the ISE was 2,579 [end 2011: 2,893] and tranches of debt securities amounted to 20,286 [end 2011: 21,142].

Unwinding of the Delegation Arrangement.
In line with EU requirements, the Central Bank of Ireland (the “Central Bank”) and the Irish Stock Exchange (the “ISE”) today announced that they have successfully completed a joint project to unwind a delegation arrangement between the Central Bank and the ISE relating to the performance of certain tasks under the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 (the Transparency Regulations). These delegated tasks have been carried out by the ISE on behalf of the Central Bank since 2007.
Under European law any delegation of tasks provided for in the Transparency Directive and the Transparency Regulations must end by 19 January 2013. This is the final of three delegation arrangements to be unwound by the Central Bank and the ISE in accordance with European law since December 2011.
Gareth Murphy, Director of Markets Supervision, said, “The Central Bank is very pleased to announce the completion of another successful transition of functions from the ISE. The commitment of the Central Bank and ISE teams on this project has ensured a smooth transition for securities market participants and also ensured that Ireland has completed the transfer of these delegated tasks ahead of schedule.”
Deirdre Somers, Chief Executive of the ISE said, “The ISE is pleased to have been able to provide expertise and support to the Central Bank in relation to the Prospectus, Market Abuse and Transparency Regulations for the past number of years. We are delighted following the unwinding of the delegation arrangement that these important regulatory functions now fully reside with the Central Bank. We look forward to maintaining our strong relationship with the Central Bank and continuing to deliver our core exchange listing, trading and information services to the global securities industry.”
Cormac Kissane of Arthur Cox, and Chairman of the Stakeholder Consultative Group in relation to the Prospectus Directive, said, “This project completes the transfer of regulatory functions relating to the Prospectus, Market Abuse and Transparency Directives from the ISE to the Central Bank. These transfers have been handled seamlessly from a market perspective and re-enforce Ireland’s position as a leading international financial centre for securities listings.”

Irish stocks stutter in August but rally continues on the ISEQ
News just released show that Irish stocks performed the worst among European peripheral markets in August. Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italian shares all rebounded on the belief that there will be further EU support for these countries economies.
The Irish Stock Exchange posted a very modest 1.86 per cent increase for the month while Italy, Spain and Greece increased by double-digit results. Portugal was just slightly lower.
The big jumps in the peripheral markets were still not enough to pull these countries out of negative for the year to date.
However, while Irish stocks had a low growth in August Ireland is in positive for the year compared to other countries. This is a continuation of an extraordinary rally dating back to July 2011.
With Irish benchmark bonds ending the month below six per cent it prompted The National Treasury to return to the capital markets with a new debt issue.
One interesting piece of news came from ECB president Mario Draghi on September 7th when he announced that the central bank was prepared to support sovereign bond prices by buying in the secondary market.
