New Delhi: The London Stock Exchange (LSE) has identified India, China and Russia as the core markets for future growth as global companies are increasingly focussing on these markets.
According to LSE officials, the European countries are working on a Financial Services Action Plan (FCAP) to harmonise financial regulations across the continent. This would make it a common platform that would be beneficial for companies trying to raise funds abroad.

The LSE would be opening its office in Hong Kong in October this year, which would be its first full-fledged office outside London.
