Euronext, the owner of the Lisbon Stock Exchange, announced that it is open to a possible merger with Deutsche Börse or a combination of the two groups' stock exchange operations. This possibility arises in the context of a potential deal that could create a large market infrastructure at European scale. Euronext manages stock exchanges in several European countries, including Portugal, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Ireland. Deutsche Börse is the German stock exchange, being one of the largest stock exchange operators in Europe. A possible merger between the two entities would result in a European giant in the sector, competing in scale with other major global stock exchanges. This deal could represent a significant step in the consolidation of the European capital market.
