Deutsche Börse has a good chance of winning significant long-term market share in the areas of interest rate and currency trading and relocating trading from London to Frankfurt if the market participants in London are given unrestricted access to superior trading platforms in Frankfurt," Schiereck writes in the paper, titled "Why the merger between Deutsche Börse and the London Stock Exchange will strengthen Frankfurt as a financial centre."
Schiereck's paper cites the example of Bund trading in the 1990s as reason to believe trading can move from London to Frankfurt. "The migration of Bund futures trading from London to Frankfurt in the 1990s can serve as an example here," he writes.
The paper is just the latest in a series of threats to the City's role at the heart of European financial markets. Almost all major banks are thought to be considering moving jobs away from London after the Brexit process formally begins
Yeah some lobby group trying to curry favour with the government
Pity there aren't really that many British firms in the City(just a handful of hedge funds employing very few, most bulk employer IBs are American) so what they say is just so much hot air.
BUt then what would you provincial morons know about the City?
