Executive summary The driver for consolidation of markets is to increase efficiencies with an amalgamation of services and expertise, providing members of the Exchange with fewer entities to deal with. A large part of the costs in running Stock Exchanges, and therefore the charges to their members, lies in Technology. This study examines best practises in respect of the merging of cash and derivatives market technology within a national jurisdiction. Several Exchanges were targeted who have either merged cash and derivative markets, or who have created a derivative market having established a cash one. The study showed that there is no clear best practise as such, that each case needs to be examined on its own merits. The study does show that there are surprisingly more reasons not to consolidate technology than to do so. 1.1. The arguments in favour of consolidation Cost savings and rationalisation Significant savings of up to 30 % can be realised in the reduction of trading systems
