Yn dilyn cyfarfod gydag uwch swyddogion yng Nghyfnewidfa Stoc Efrog Newydd, cefais y fraint o ganu’r gloch i ddechrau’r busnes ar y llawr masnachu. Roedd y Gyfnewidfa Stoc wedi’i haddurno â deunydd brandio Cymru i nodi’r ymweliad. Roeddwn i’n arbennig o falch o gal agor y masnachu yn y Gyfnewidfa Stoc – mae’n denu cyhoeddusrwydd yn y gymuned gyllid fyd-eang nad oes modd ei fesur yn ariannol. Mae hefyd yn datgan bod Cymru’n rhan o’r gymuned ariannol fyd-eang a bod Wall St, calon yr economi fyd-eang, yn cydnabod hyn.
Following a meeting with senior officials at the New York Stock Exchange I was granted the privilege of ringing the opening bell to mark the start of business on the trading floor.  The NYSE was decked out in Welsh branding to mark the visit.  I was particularly pleased to open trading at the NYSE – it generates a level of publicity in the global financial community that money simply could not buy.  It also sends out a signal that Wales is fully part of the global financial community and that this is recognised on Wall St, the heart of the global economy.
