The international derivatives exchange, Eurex, announced that it has received a regulatory exemption from the Autorité des marchés financiers to offer its products in Québec.

Eurex says that it is the first foreign derivatives exchange to receive such an exemption from the AMF. As a result, customers in Québec will now have direct access to trading on Eurex and to products including its benchmark index futures based on indices such as the EURO STOXX 50, DAX and SMI, as well as European interest rate derivatives.

“For the first time, Eurex’s entire product range will be available in a key North American market. This is an exciting opportunity to admit customers as new members in Quebec and introduce to them our diverse, highly liquid futures and options products,” said Michael Peters, a member of the Eurex executive board.
