KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 12 - Malaysia's stock exchange operator, Bursa Malaysia, is believed to have started talks with NYSE Euronext , the parent of the New York Stock Exchange, on a possible tie-up, a business weekly reported.

NYSE Euronext has indicated interest in acquiring a 10 percent stake in Bursa, the Edge said in its latest edition, citing unnamed sources.

No decision has yet been made as to whether or not to sell a stake in Bursa to NYSE Euronext, the sources said. Bursa officials were not immediately available for comment.

The Edge said NYSE Euronext was keen to forge a working partnership with Bursa, which could include cross offerings of products for trade on different exchanges.

Bursa is currently in talks with Chicago Mercantile Exchange on a possible collaboration. Bursa said last month that CME was not seeking to buy a stake in it.

Exchanges worldwide have embarked on a consolidation spree to add new products and expand into new markets.
