“A radically different picture for natural gas was formed last year, with the U.S. now a leading supplier of much needed LNG to Europe, while interest rate derivative markets proved critical in 2022 to investors needing to manage inflation and reactions from Central Banks in a way not seen for a generation,” said Ben Jackson, President at ICE. “Across asset classes, our customers rely on the liquidity of ICE’s markets, and the transparency of price formation and discovery we provide, to manage their risk exposures, and by successfully doing that, protecting end consumers around the world.”
