Exactpro Systems today announces that it was engaged by Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) to deliver functional and non-functional testing for Astana International Exchange (AIX), the nascent new high-tech exchange platform in Kazakhstan. The new exchange was created within the AIFC in cooperation with a shareholder and strategic partner from among the leading stock exchanges - Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE). AIX is based on best international practice and powered by Nasdaq Matching Engine under a technology deal between the AIFC and Nasdaq.
 
Kazakhstan’s largest companies turn to international capital markets to meet their financing needs. With rapid economic growth and a highly attractive pipeline of IPOs/SPOs in the Central Asia, there is an increasing need for a liquid, well-balanced and efficient regional stock market with a broad range of financial instruments whose successful implementation is crucial for the AIFC.
