GENTOFTE, Denmark, July 2 /PRNewswire/ --     In times of turbulent equities markets innovative Middle Eastern
investors are seeking more sophisticated multi product trading platforms,
offering not only a high number of instruments, but also risk management
abilities and sound strategic advice from a reputable and regulated entity.

Forex Expo 2007 is Jordan's first FX exhibition for both professionals
and private investors. The main sponsor of Forex Expo Jordan Saxo Bank, a
European investment bank, has drastically increased the number of its Middle
Eastern clients over recent years. The bank's participation in Forex Expo
Jordan appears to be a natural extension of the bank's regional activities.

FX Trading in the Middle East has grown significantly in the past decade,
and today many investors look for more and more sophisticated trading
platforms and also for a much more diversified portfolio. No other trading
platform offers more FX Crosses, derivatives and functionalities than
SaxoTrader, the award winning trading platform offered by Saxo Bank.

"The Middle East is a strategic market for Saxo Bank and we have a
natural interest in Jordan as an emerging market with an open and stable
economy" says Yaser Rawashdeh, senior associate at Saxo Bank's Sales Trading
Desk. Yaser Rewashdeh, a native of Jordan, will be heading Saxo Bank's expo
team at the forum.

"We see great opportunities in the recent developments in the Gulf
countries, e.g. a lot of focus is on United Arab Emirates dirham and whether
it will be appreciated against the dollar. There are talks of a 3%
appreciation prior to meeting in September and it just happens that the
SaxoTrader offers Middle Eastern currencies as well, which could be talk of
the town in the near future", says Yaser Rawashdeh.

"There is a growing tendency among Middle Eastern investors to seek
online trading platforms that can support much more sophisticated and
diversified trading strategies. When the equity market goes down more
investors trades FX, CFD's and commodities, and they need a first class multi
product platform to execute their strategies successfully. Not only does Saxo
Bank provide the world's best platform, we also give strategic advise several
times a day online", explains Yaser Rewashden.

The SaxoTrader platform is fully translated into Arabic and clients can
also chat online in Arabic with experts in Saxo Bank.

Jordan Forex Expo takes place 3rd-5th July 2007, at Grand Hyatt, Amman,
Jordan.
