The merger of London Stock Exchange and Deutsche Boerse was reasonable

Shareholders of Deutsche Boerse AG have agreed to merge with London Stock Exchange (LSE). “I appreciate this decision“, says Prof Reint E. Gropp, president of Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH). “Europe is in need of a competitive financial center. Especially now, after the Brexit referendum, the arguments for a merger are more convincing than ever.”
