Deutsche Boerse (DB1Gn.DE) said it was optimistic for 2011 as it reported quarterly results hours after unveiling plans to create the world's largest exchange operator in a $10.2 billion deal with NYSE Euronext (NYX.N). "For 2011, we expect growth in all business areas," Deutsche Boerse Chief Executive Reto Francioni said in a statement late on Tuesday as the company reported fourth-quarter net profit above expectations. Deutsche Boerse and NYSE Euronext earlier announced their tie-up plans, which will create a company with 2010 net revenues of $5.4 billion, but dodged key questions that could yet threaten its completion.
