SIX Group Begins Integration of BME Following Takeover

Swiss exchange operator SIX Group has commenced planning for the integration of the Spanish stock exchange Bolsas y Mercados Españoles (BME) following its €2.8 billion acquisition. SIX stated that the ongoing operational and strategic integration of BME will be a focus for the exchange throughout the rest of the year. “The integration of BME and SIX, two leaders in their domestic financial markets, creates a more diversified group with a strong presence across Europe, making it the third largest European financial market infrastructure group, and the 10th largest globally by revenue,” SIX said.
