Frankfurt / Main (dpa) - In the course of the Wirecard accounting scandal, Deutsche Börse also had to put up with critical questions.
Are the rules for the leading index Dax strict enough if a company celebrated as a star on the stock market is thrown out of the German share index again after less than two years?
In addition, shouldn't we need tougher sanctions if listed companies publish financial reports too late?
At the end of June, Deutsche Börse announced a revision of its rules for the Dax and the small cap indices MDax, TecDax and SDax.
In the past few weeks, market participants such as banks, associations and professional investors had the opportunity to comment on the stock exchange's proposals.
Today, Tuesday, the Frankfurt market operator wants to present what will change in the indices over the next year.
Among other things, the proposal to expand the Dax from 30 to 40 values and at the same time reduce the MDax from 60 to 50 companies was on the table.
Proponents hope that the Dax would then represent the German economy more comprehensively.
In addition, according to the stock exchange, only profitable companies should be included in the leading index.
