The Warsaw Stock Exchange is the largest bourse in Central Europe and a veritable symbol of the changes taking place in Poland’s most recent history.
On 22 January the morning bell of the Warsaw trading floor signalled its 5000th session. The WSE’s new President, Adam Maciejewski, has reason to be satisfied: traders managing over 1.5 million investment portfolios can buy and sell shares offered by 439 companies with a total market cap of 765 billion PLN. Apart from Polish companies, there are also 43 foreign ones operating on Warsaw’s stock market, including those from France, Germany, the UK, Canada, and the United States. This makes Warsaw Europe’s tenth biggest bourse and the regional leader. The second stock exchange in Central Europe in terms of capitalization – the Wiener Borse – lags almost 40 percent behind the WSE.
