The past couple of years have seen a marked increase in interest in the Norwegian derivatives market, with a growing volume of activity. Derivatives trading has grown even more strongly than trading in the equity market.
"We are of course very pleased to see this increase. We have worked hard over many years to increase awareness and knowledge of derivatives in the Norwegian market. In addition there have been some positive changes in the regulations affecting derivatives trading. These factors, together with increasing activity in the underlying equity market, are the main reasons for what now seems to be a clear trend for increasing use of derivatives in the Norwegian market", comments Linus Lønnroth, Head of the Derivatives Department at Oslo Børs.
