Providers of exchange-traded products delisted a host of products in Europe during August, as factors including the escalating conflict in Syria weighed on daily trading activity.

A total of 82 ETPs were delisted from European exchanges last month, according to consultancy ETFGI, taking the total number of delistings in Europe this year to 315. This is nearly three times more than the 106 products delisted over the first eight months of 2012.
