Each National Investment Fund will join the WIG index or the WIRR index only after decision of continuing it’s economic activity. The whole process will be executed not earlier than at the end of the first quarter of the year 2006.
The Warsaw Stock Exchange computes 12 different indices, including WIG20 (blue-chip companies), MIDWIG (mid-cap companies) and TechWIG (innovative technologies companies), which are underlying instruments for futures contracts. Other indices: WIG (main market companies), WIRR (small companies) and WIG-PL (main market domestic companies) are all-share benchmark indices. All the WSE index selection criteria are based on free float, liquidity and observance of corporate governance.
