Changes to the main stock exchange indices announced in September 2014 take effect on WSE as of the beginning of 2015. WIG20, the price index of the top 20 most liquid stocks on WSE, will remain the main stock exchange index. WSE will also continue to publish WIG30. However, WIG30short and WIG30lev will no longer be published.
Changes to the blue-chip indices will impact the mid- and small-cap indices. mWIG40 will continue to be published as before and the publication of sWIG80 will be resumed. As a result, WSE will no longer publish WIG50 and WIG250. The changes will also impact the derivatives market. WSE will focus on the development of the derivatives market and the promotion of instruments based on WIG20. No derivatives with WIG30 and WIG50 as the underlying will be introduced to trading.
