Deutsche Börse is pressing ahead with new regulations designed to improve the profile of the Neuer Markt, after surviving a lawsuit bought by a company listed on the ailing German high-growth market.

Last month Deutsche Börse introduced new rules to delist insolvent companies and firms with a market capitalisation under €20m ($18.3m) or a share price under €1. This will probably lead to about 30 companies falling out of the Neuer Markt. The new regulations will come into effect on October 1.
