Abstract

This article sheds light on the question why the securities settlement infrastructure is an important factor in European financial integration, as e.g. illustrated by the recent takeover battle for the London Stock Exchange. We analyse consequences of the recent merger activity in the securities settlement industry, discuss advisable forms of consolidation as well as obstacles to further concentration. JEL Classification: G1
