The Australian Stock Exchange has put off a switch to a new blockchain-based system which it had last said would come on stream in April 2022.
The Australian Stock Exchange has partnered with S&P Dow Jones Indices to launch the S&P/ASX All Technology Index which will list companies in the technology sector. The new index will go live on Monday, 24 February.
A hardware failure in the equipment running its main database led to the Australian Stock Exchange being able to operate only roughly half the day on Monday.
