To promote the internationalization of Taiwan's futures market and enhance foreign investment participation, the Taiwan Futures Exchange attended the International Derivatives Expo (IDX) in London, UK, from June 16 to 18, organized by the Futures Industry Association (FIA). The exchange set up a booth and arranged meetings with foreign investors to actively market the unique features and advantages of the Taiwan futures market.

The FIA IDX is recognized as a major annual event for the derivatives market in Europe, attracting exchanges, clearinghouses, brokers, institutional investors, and information service providers from around the world. This year's conference focused on development trends in the European and global derivatives markets, covering topics such as the rebuilding of financial relations in Europe and the US, regulatory policy changes, advancements in trading and clearing technology, operational resilience enhancement, and applications of artificial intelligence and cloud computing.

Nearly 1,000 representatives from 35 countries gathered for face-to-face communication, creating a representative exchange platform for the derivatives markets in Europe, while providing participating companies opportunities to promote their market advantages and enhance international exposure.

The Taiwan Futures Exchange, led by Deputy General Manager Yang Chao-shun, actively engaged with European traders, institutional investors, and foreign investment firms from the Middle East during the exhibition and meetings. The team introduced the latest dynamics of Taiwan's futures market, including increased trading activity in stock index and individual stock futures, the continuous expansion of night trading products, and the rise of foreign investment participation, while promoting upcoming products like the Friday expiration Taiwan index options. The exchange aims to expand its international business continually, enhancing Taiwan futures market visibility and attractiveness through participation in the FIA IDX.
