London Metal Exchange

Launching a new market in plastics futures

The London Metal Exchange (LME) is the premier non-ferrous base metals futures market and carries a worldwide reputation. The key function of the LME is the publication of its market prices which are used the world over, and provide unique official prices for the global metals markets.

PA Consulting Group worked with the LME as an independent delivery partner to assist with the management of the successful launch of plastics futures, broadening the Exchange’s offering outside their long-standing metals market. PA’s capital markets experience and track record of managing complex implementation programmes, coupled with the LME’s markets and industry knowledge and expertise enabled the Exchange to meet the market demand for these important new commodity contracts within ambitious timescales.
