Everlasting LIFFE

Article Abstract:

The London International Financial Futures Exchange (LIFFE) has been the fastest growing exchange in 15 years since it was established and it now needs to expand further if it is to maintain its current growth rate. LIFFE managers are planning to expand but the direction is yet undetermined. LIFFE has to expand as its German counterpart is slowly gaining ground and is threatening to steal LIFFE's market share as European Monetary Union will exclude Britain.
