This MoC will pave the way to even closer co-operation between the two

Exchanges. The co-operation will cover not only sharing of information and

experience on the functioning and promotion of the two markets, but also

sharing of technology.

The MoC envisions the following areas of co-operation:

- mutual promotion both markets in their respective investment communities

- sharing of information 

- harmonisation of market regulations

- technical co-operation

Both Exchanges declare to bring closer their capital markets and to allow

investors from both countries to trade securities listed on their markets.

The co-operation between the Exchanges is expected to facilitate and stimulate

cross-border trading in the future. As the first step, working groups were

created to identify, analyse and evaluate various fields of activities that

could bring potential benefits for both markets. The Exchanges shall also

investigate a possibility of implementing on the National Stock Exchange of

Lithuania a trading system based on the WARSET technology. The Exchanges

believe that their co-operation will increase their competitiveness in the

industry in the era of globalisation and international alliances.

The signatories of the Memorandum were Rimantas Busila, President and Chairman

of the Management Board of the National Stock Exchange of Lithuania and Wieslaw
