Texas Gov. Greg Abbott promoted the state\u2019s pro-business policies before ringing the New York Stock Exchange\u2019s closing bell Wednesday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, joined by exchange officials and business leaders, including Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.<\/p>\n
The Cowboys cheerleaders were even front and center.<\/p>\n
The exchange\u2019s Texas branch opened in late March following the relocation of the Chicago Stock Exchange to Dallas, ending its 143-year presence in Illinois\u2019 largest city.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the home of the economy, and it is going to be the home of financial exchanges going forward,” the governor said.<\/p>\n
The governor was joined by United States Treasurer Brandon Beach, NYSE Group President Lynn Martin, NYSE Texas President Bryan Daniel, Intercontinental Exchange Founder, Chair, and CEO Jeff Sprecher, and other NYSE Group members and business leaders.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Nasdaq Stock Exchange, a competitor to the NYSE, also announced earlier this year that it would open a regional headquarters in Dallas. Moreover, a separate Texas Stock Exchange will open in Dallas in the first quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n
“Texas ranks No. 1 in so many different ways,” the governor said. “We are No. 1 for economic development, most new jobs added, and ranked No. 1 for the most business listed on the NYSE.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s the hardworking men and women that work at these businesses every day that make Texas what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Texas Gov.
