The Qatar Investment Authority owns 15 per cent of London Stock Exchange. It bought the stake on September 17, 2007. There have been countless rumors that the QIA will mount a takeover of the London Stock Exchange. The QIA owned, 10% of OMX, the Sweedish stock exchange, but sold it's stake to Borse Dubai. Borse Dubai owns 22% of LSE and many people belive that the Borse will give the QIA it's stake as a result of the OMX sale. Borse officials said in February 2008 that in the future if Qatar shows interest in its shareholding in LSE, it might consider their offer.
