Abstract
The first year of the ‘Big Bang’ arrangements in cash sterling securities markets saw a substantial expansion in activity in liffe sterling-based futures and options contracts. This largely reflected the impetus to trading given by the market reforms themselves. However, the unsettled economic and financial background to the sterling markets also probably contributed significantly to market participants’ need for hedging instruments.
