The stock exchange operator’s 2023 trading volume fell 21% compared to previous year.
However, December's numbers rose to €97.4 Billion from €92.01 Billion in 2022.
Deutsche
Börse today (Tuesday) released its 2023 cash market statistics, showing a total
trading volume of €1.2 trillion across its Xetra and Frankfurt Stock Exchange
venues. This represents a decline of 21% compared to the €1.6 trillion recorded in
2022.
Deutsche Börse Cash Market
Trading Volume Reaches €1.2 Trillion in 2023
Deutsche
Börse operates the Xetra electronic trading platform along with the Frankfurt
Stock Exchange, which together account for over 90% of German cash equities
trading. The company offers trading in shares, ETFs, bonds, funds and other
instruments for over 1.6 million domestic and international securities.
On a
monthly basis, the total December volumes amounted to €97.4 billion, compared
to €104.5 billion reported the previous month. However, when looking at the
volumes for the same period last year, there was an increase from the €92.01
billion reported in December 2022.
“Of this
amount, €94.1 billion was attributable to Xetra and €3.3 billion to Börse
Frankfurt. The average daily turnover on Xetra in December was €5 billion
(previous year: €4.3 billion / previous month: €4.6 billion),” Deutsche Börse commented.

The most
actively traded stock on Xetra in 2023 was SAP SE, with a turnover of €53.9
billion. Allianz SE and Siemens AG followed with €50.2 billion and €49.7
billion, respectively. In the MDAX index, Lufthansa AG led trading activity at
€10.3 billion. Morphosys AG topped the SDAX with €1.5 billion, while Formycon
AG was the highest volume stock on the Scale segment at €200 million.
In the ETF
segment, the iShares Core MSCI World Fund was Xetra's largest with €6.1

from €4.3 billion in December 2022.
Deutsche Börse Net Profit
Increases 24% in 2022
Last year,
the German stock exchange operator reported a significant increase of 24% in
annual revenues and profits. The net revenue rose to €4,338 million, up from
€3,509 million in 2021. EBITDA surged to €2,525 million from €2,043 million,
while the final net income climbed to €1,563 million, a considerable increase
from the previous year's €1,264 million. This marked a uniform annual growth
rate of 24%.
In the
latest update for 2023, Deutsche Börse Group experienced a robust third
quarter, with revenues climbing 9% to €1,188.3 million, a rise from the
€1,090.2 million reported in the same period last year. This quarter was
noteworthy for the successful completion of the SimCorp acquisition, a move set
to introduce a new investment management-related business product by the German
exchange operator.
The
acquisition of SimCorp, valued at €3.9 billion, was initially announced in the
first quarter of 2023. Subsequent reports in May confirmed that negotiations
were progressing as expected, with the transaction slated for completion in the
third quarter. This plan was successfully executed according to the outlined
schedule.
