"The Group is well placed to provide a full range of post trade services to meet the evolving needs of our customers arising from on-going financial regulatory change and the continued focus on operational efficiency," says Raffaele Jerusalmi, CEO at Borsa Italiana, owned by the LSE, and director of capital markets at the LSE.
