The transfer completes the final stage of Euronext.liffe’s two-year programme to provide its customers with a single trading platform for all of its derivatives products. From 27 September, all Euronext.liffe markets will be accessed via the state-of-the-art LIFFE CONNECT® trading platform. The programme continues to deliver benefits to Euronext.liffe’s expanding customer base in 28 countries around the world, bringing them direct trading access to all Euronext derivatives products combined on the same trading platform.
Jean-François Théodore, Chairman of the Managing Board and CEO of Euronext NV said today: “We would not have been able to meet our target without the very successful partnership with our customers whom we would like to thank and to whom we are committed to deliver the best services to access a wider pool of liquid products at competitive costs.”
Hugh Freedberg, CEO of Euronext.liffe said today: “Euronext.liffe is once again delivering, on time, the promises it has made to its customers; namely linking strong local markets globally on our world-beating technology, LIFFE CONNECT®. We continue to offer enhanced trading opportunities to our customers.”
The Amsterdam derivatives market will migrate to the latest version of LIFFE CONNECT®. This latest version will give all customers a major capacity increase, enhanced market-making functionality, greater options functionality and greater efficiency in market data distribution. Euronext’s derivatives markets in Brussels, Lisbon, London, and Paris will also move to this upgraded version in August 2004.
