BERLIN (Reuters) - The German government would welcome efforts aimed at a merger of Deutsche Boerse DB1Gn.DE and the London Stock Exchange LSE.L if they led to a strengthening of Frankfurt as a financial center, government spokesman Steffen Seibert said on Wednesday.
“The shape of the European stock exchange market is important for Deutsche Boerse and if their efforts would lead to a strengthening of Frankfurt as a financial hub, the German government would welcome it,” Seibert told reporters.
