New York – November 14, 2007 – GFI Group, Inc (Nasdaq: GFIG) has launched EnergyMatch?, an electronic trading platform for over-the-counter energy derivatives.

EnergyMatch will initially carry Sulfur Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxide emission contracts, brokered by Amerex Brokers LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GFI. Other emission types and energy contracts will be added in due course.

“With the emissions market continuing to grow in importance, we believe EnergyMatch will play a key role in bringing together buyers and sellers in a very convenient and effective way”, said Ian Clague, GFI Group’s head of energy for the Americas. “The technology of EnergyMatch and experienced Amerex brokers is a powerful combination.”

EnergyMatch? is an extension of GFI’s highly successful electronic/broker-assisted hybrid broking business model. This is already well established in certain regions in the credit and foreign exchange derivatives markets with CreditMatch® and ForexMatch®.
