Regret At Deutsche Börse

The decision taken by LSE to end talks leading to a merger between Deutsche Börse and the London Stock Exchange was received with regret by Deutsche Börse on Tuesday. Deutsche Börse emphasized that a merger would have marked an important step in the consolidation of European capital markets and would have enhanced shareholder value of both organizations. Issuers, investors, intermediaries and the two financial centers Frankfurt and London would have benefited from the market consolidation.
