“We have witnessed a remarkable recovery from the most horrific of events. Americans across this country, and especially in New York, continue to build this nation with innovation, confidence and hard work,“ Simmons said. “Nowhere are these attributes better displayed than in our financial markets. Only in America would people put their trust in our equity markets to the tune of $20 million net in January, four months after the tragedy.“

“Nasdaq's systems remained operative and, in cooperation with the other markets, we were able to provide technological and strategic resources to our listed companies and market participants,“ Simmons said.
“Nasdaq is extremely proud of the role our employees, market participants and listed companies play everyday in the world economy, and of their actions on 11 September and the days following,“ Simmons concluded.
