Joan Purcell, members of the Board of Directors, FINCOR, the Eastern Caribbean Stock Exchange, GRENLEC's management and staff, and the media.  The ceremony was carried 'live' by various media outlets, and followed by the company’s Annual Meeting of shareholders.

With the listing process now completed, shares in this Grenadian company now become available to interested parties throughout the region.  In 2007, GRENLEC had a gross income of $141.8 million and an after tax profit of $8.2 million.

The company's shares will trade on the ECSE beginning on Thursday using the symbol, GESL.  A copy of the  research report, which was prepared by National Mortgage Finance Company of Dominica, can be obtained from the ECSE’s website, www.ecseonline.com, GRENLEC, or from local licensed broker-dealer, FINCOR.
