The first one is SEE LINK, an order routing platform. The second one is a micro project for technology and software modernization of our members. Ivan Steriev CEO Statistically 2014 was much better compared to 2013. The total turnover increased by significant 169% due to, among other things, the public offering of the issuer “Arcelor Mittal”. Also, we had significant increase in block transactions, about 90%, but this is because we had few block transactions in 2013. It is very important to monitor trading in “BEST” system (MSE electronic trading system), especially with shares, because primarily the trading on MSE is with shares, and here we had significant increase for 42%. However, it is quite clear that in the past few years we have entered in a new development phase - we are operating in a new reality and we have to acknowledge our position that is appropriate for a small open economy such as Macedonia, with this level of GDP and living standard, these performance and organizational and ownership structure of the domestic join stock companies and in the current social-political environment.

Success of this project will mean a lot and will have quite positive implications as it will show benefits of the integration synergies. The second one is a micro project for technology and software modernization of our members which will give our investors option for trading via internet from any location they choose. “ Statistically 2014 was much better compared to 2013.
