- The WSE Management Board is to focus on the Polish capital market and to fully leverage its potential; therefore, WSE is not considering a capital alliance with CEE Stock Exchange Group AG at this time
- The current goals of WSE include organic growth, including development of international business, increasing attractiveness to market participants, and enhancing shareholder value
- WSE remains open to cooperation with various players in the region, including CEESEG, to make Central and Eastern Europe a more attractive place for investment
- WSE does not rule out returning to the concept of capital alliance with CEESEG in the future
Following an in-depth analysis of available options of regional growth and taking into account the high growth potential of the Polish economy and its capital market, WSE has decided to focus on organic growth at this time. This does not exclude potential co-operation with CEESEG in individual projects in order to improve the attractiveness and perception of the CEE capital market.
“We have decided to fully leverage the opportunities of Warsaw Stock Exchange growth and to provide market participants with an offer which will contribute to strengthening of WSE in Central and Eastern Europe, consequently helping to grow our shareholder value. Uncertainty around pension funds has been removed from the Polish capital market – the outcome of the reform has been better than expected by the market; and we hope that this will positively influence the prospects of the Warsaw Stock Exchange,” said PaweÅ‚ Tamborski, President of the WSE Management Board.
