Amid a public debate about whether modern equity markets are fair, reliable and transparent, the European securities industry’s key players must collaborate more on resolving differences, according to the new chairman of the region’s main lobbying group for exchanges.

European bourses should focus on how to implement new rules after a wave of global regulation, said Christian Katz, who was elected chairman of the Federation of European Securities Exchanges last week. Katz also pledged to ensure public exchanges remain attractive to corporations seeking to raise money by selling stock.
