It concludes that although there are certainly hurdles to be overcome in the Asian region, change is taking hold and alternative trading venues are starting to pose a real challenge to established exchanges. Indeed, the article suggests that there is now a genuine appetite for technology that can help firms take advantage of the structural changes in the markets as well as provide the flexibility to accommodate a rapidly evolving Asian landscape.
