Euronext’s trading revenue fell by nearly a quarter in the first quarter of 2023 after Ukraine's invasion sparked "unprecedented" volatility the previous year.

“Q1 2022 was a very unprecedented geopolitical situation due to war in Ukraine,” Euronext chief executive Stéphane Boujnah said. “There were unprecedented levels of volatility following the outbreak of the war.”
