CME Group applies for London derivatives exchange

摘要

London—The CME Group is in the process of applying to the UK’s Financial Services Authority to establish a London-based derivatives exchange that would, subject to regulatory approval as a Recognized Investment Exchange, begin trading foreign exchange futures products from mid-2013. “Our application to establish an exchange in Europe fits within our strategy to grow organically and is an important next step to meet the growing regional demand from our customers,” CME Group CEO Phupinder Gill said in an August 20 statement.
