Regarding fixed income and capital raised, the available data does not provide explicit YTD figures or changes for these categories on SIX Swiss Exchange or on the BME Exchange.
In the case of the BME Exchange (Bolsa de Madrid), the search results do not contain specific recent detailed statistics for the first half of 2025. Therefore, no precise data on turnover, transactions, or capital raised there can be confirmed based on the retrieved information.
If more detailed fixed income and capital raising data for the BME Exchange or SIX is needed, consulting the latest official exchange reports or financial regulatory disclosures directly after August 2025 would be advisable.
In summary, the SIX Swiss Exchange has experienced a significant increase in trading turnover and transactions, with equities turnover increasing by 15.1% YTD and the ETF segment showing a strong 85.8% YTD growth. The IBEX 35® in Spain was one of the best performing European indices for the year 2025, as of July. However, the data for the BME Exchange is not available due to the lack of recent detailed statistics.
