Article Abstract:
The London Stock Exchange and Deutsche Borse have announced an alliance and have offered the Paris stock exchanges a junior partnership. This has led the president of France's Societe des Bourses Francaises to announce a proposal for a separate alliance with Benelux countries, Spain and Italy. There is concern outside Germany and the United Kingdom that the Deutsche Borse and London alliance could leave national stock exchanges elsewhere with a smaller stake in the market.
