CNSX Markets today announced that it has finalised an agreement with Google Inc. to provide free access to real-time Canadian National Stock Exchange (CNSX) data through the Google Finance web site.

The data, which is now available at www.google.com/finance, includes real-time last sale information, real-time charting, analytics and fundamental company information on all CNSX-listed issues, including the twelve structured notes already available on the exchange.

"Through the Google Finance site, data from our exchange will be presented to investors alongside information from many of the leading markets in the world," said Richard Carleton, CEO of CNSX Markets (pictured). "The agreement with Google is a significant step in assisting our companies to reach a global audience of investors interested in the Canadian capital markets."

Karolína Netolicka, Google finance product manager, said: "This is the first time we've been able to offer real-time quotes on Canadian securities, and we're really excited to bring our users this additional level of transparency."

According to SRP data, the twelve currently-listed structured notes on the CNSX were launched by Bank of America-owned BAC Canada Finance Company (7) and Barclays Bank (5).
