- Twelve months after its launch, Catalyst is a dynamically growing market that has already established a firm footing in the Polish capital market
- Polkomtel Finance AB listed on Catalyst today with the largest issue of a private company on this market to date (PLN 1 billion).
The first operational year of the Catalyst market – a platform for trading and authorising corporate and local government bonds – confirmed that an innovative project of the Warsaw Stock Exchange matched the needs of Polish corporates and local government bodies. The market architecture comprising a retail trade segment made the Catalyst market an interesting alternative enabling effective diversification of investment portfolios of retail investors that had previously been deprived of access to public market of non-Treasury debt instruments. In the first operational year of the Catalyst market the value of issues and the number of transactions were systematically growing and so was the range of issuers that newly included co-operative banks that had not used previously an opportunity to raise capital on the public bond market. At present there are 37 issuers listed on the Catalyst market, with the total value of bonds issued reaching PLN 21.8 billion.
