Deutsche Boerse proposes merger with Euronext

As the Neue Zürcher Zeitung reports today, the German stock exchange Deutsche Boerse is currently looking at the possibility of merging with Euronext. According to Guardian Unlimited the Chairman of Deutsche Boerse, Mr Francioni said: "A combination of Deutsche Boerse and Euronext would create the first truly European exchange organisation capable of asserting claims to global leadership."

Euronext has reacted cautiously to the announcement of Deutsche Boerse. The proposition of "merger between partners" would need to be analysed carefully said a spokesperson of Euronext on Wednesday.

Deutsche Boerse dropped a bid to buy London Stock Exchange last year after opposition from shareholders, a second failed attempt to buy the London market in five years.
