In 1996 the ASX became a company listed in its own market under the symbol under the symbol ASX. In 2011 plans to merge with the Singapore stock exchange to increase the group's global presence fell through after the Australian Treasurer, Wayne Swan, refused permission, claiming the move was not in the country's best interests.
