SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 28, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, at the World
Federation of Exchanges' (WFE) General Assembly in Seoul, Korea, Chairmen and
Chief Executives from more than 50 of the world's leading exchanges gathered to
make a number of important decisions for the future of the organization. The
annual Assembly represents the largest and most widely attended gathering of
global exchange leaders.
The General Assembly elected and approved new WFE officers and board members,
led by new Chairman Juan Pablo Cordoba, CEO of Bolsa de Valores de Colombia.
Ravi Narain, Vice Chairman of the National Stock Exchange of India, was elected
Vice Chairman of WFE while the Chairman of the Working Committee will be Dr. Urs

year terms.
Mr. Cordoba said: "I am honored to be elected chairman of an organization which
unites exchanges from around the world. Looking to the future you will see WFE
become a stronger voice in public debates and working to serve all of its
members. WFE members are committed to ensuring that regulated exchanges continue
to innovate in order to further enhance the safety, stability and integrity of
the markets. In my role as Chairman, I look forward to working with WFE members
and global regulators to maintain our strong commitment to creating well-
functioning markets that contribute to the financial landscape."
Mr. Andreas Preuss, Chairman of WFE for the last two years, said: "We move
forward with WFE now entering a new era. It has been a constructive time of
transition for the organization, moving to London from Paris and repositioning
ourselves for the future. I welcome the new chairman and look forward to WFE's
continuing progress as it seeks to advocate the exchange cause globally."
