European University students visited one of the most important financial centers of the world: Frankfurt. In one day the students visited both the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the European Central Bank.

The Frankfurt Stock Exchange is one of the world’s largest trading centers for securities. With a share in turnover of more than 90 percent, it is the largest of Germany’s seven stock exchanges. Deutsche Börse AG operates the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, an entity under public law. In this capacity it ensures the smooth functioning of exchange trading in Frankfurt.

The Frankfurt Stock Exchange facilitates advanced electronic trading, settlement and information systems. Thus, it is able to meet the steadily growing requirements of cross-border trading.

Having the contact with these two institutions is a key part of the education of European University students.  The global impact and international integration of their activities are a very good example of how the Global Economy works.
