Euronext Lisboa, owner of the Lisbon stock exchange, expressed openness to a potential merger with Deutsche Börse, the German stock operator. This possibility arises in a context of consolidation of the European financial sector.
Although the idea of uniting the largest European stock exchange operator with its German rival is not new, there are no ongoing conversations at the moment between the two entities.
A potential merger could significantly boost liquidity and competitiveness of the region's markets, strengthening the European position against other global financial centers.
