Mr Hsieh Fu Hua, Chief Executive Officer of SGX, said, "Despite the extent of turmoil in FY09, we remain profitable and our business, robust, most significantly in risk management and regulation. While the environment remains uncertain, SGX is well poised to face further challenges and seize opportunities to grow."
