The London Metal Exchange (LME) runs a number of incentive programmes designed to encourage trading and enhance liquidity for both new and existing participants on our markets.
Currently the LME offers programmes for LME base metals and ferrous metals. These are governed by the Incentive Programme General Terms (PDF).
To apply for an incentive programme, completed application forms should be submitted via email.
Upon the LME’s acceptance of a participant onto an incentive programme, the combination of the general terms, relevant specification document, and the application form will together form the agreement between the LME and the relevant participant in respect of that's participant’s participation in the incentive programme.
