FSE - Frankfurt Stock Exchange
The city of Frankfurt has the unique distinction of being host
to one of the first stock exchanges in the world.Owned and operated
by Deutsche Borse, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is the third
largest trade-place forstocks in the world and the second largest
in terms of market capitalization. There are currently about
6823companies quoted on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the
exchange enjoys an annual turnover of roughly 5.2trillion euros.
Most of the FSEs trading takes place via a fully electronic trading
system known as Xetra. This
electronic system makes it possible for 15 different countries
to trade on a single platform. Because this allowsfor countries to
trade on the exchange without actually being in the country for
floor trading, some 47% ofthose companies trading on the FSE are
located in other countries. Those companies wishing to enter
theFrankfurt stock market can choose from three different
categories: Prime, General and Entry Standard. EntryStandard is of
course, the easiest ways since Prime and General are regulated by
the EU rules. Some examplesof companies listed on the Frankfurt
Stock Exchange are Nokia, Opel, Porsche, Daimler Chrysler and
HugoBoss Ag.
Germany enjoys one of the most highly developed market economies
in the world and it is the largest economyin Europe. It also ranks
fifth in the world in terms of purchasing power parity and GDP. The
countryseconomy is largely export-orientated and exports account
for more than one-third of the countrys annual
output. However, despite the fact that Germany enjoys such a
high export rate, it suffers from low consumerconfidence on a local
scale. This has weakened the local economy somewhat, but he
government is makingstrides towards alleviating the problem.
Currently the services sector contributes the most towards
GermanysGDP with roughly 70.3% of profits coming from this sector.
Agriculture in Germany is incredibly small withonly 1.1% of the
countrys revenue being generated by this sector and the remaining
28.6% coming from theindustry sector. About 13% of the countrys
population live below the poverty line and some 9.6% areunemployed.
While these number are not all that good for a developed country,
they are not that bad whencompared to other countries.
Germanys main industries are iron, steel, cement, coal,
chemicals, machinery, motor vehicles, machine tools,electronics,
food, beverages, shipbuilding and textiles. In 2005 $1.016 trillion
was generated from exports
while only $801 billion came from imports. This further shows
how much more is generated from exports eachyear. The countrys main
trade partners are France, the US and UK, Italy, the Netherlands,
Austria, Belgium,Spain, Switzerland and China.
