LONDON — European stock markets were lower Thursday as traders digested sluggish economic growth.
The pan-European Stoxx 600 index was down 0.2% when markets opened, but quickly dropped to lose 0.8% in the first minutes of the session.
British fintech company CAB Payments made its debut on the London Stock Exchange Thursday, against a backdrop of a few companies opting to list in London this year.
"We are excited about London being an amazing place to list a company," Bhairav Trivedi, CAB Payments CEO, said on CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe."
"We are very bullish on the London Stock Exchange," Trivedi said, adding that his company wanted to "jumpstart" the U.K. fintech market.
