The conference initiated by the WSE gives foreign companies more exposure to investors. This is yet another initiative of the WSE aiming to strengthen the position of the Warsaw Stock Exchange as an international trading floor attractive to foreign issuers. The two stock markets operated by the WSE currently list 44 foreign companies (Main Market: 37, NewConnect: 7) and the WSE has 31 foreign Exchange Members from 14 countries.
The 1st WSE International Companies’ Forum has been conceived as a regular event. The WSE is planning the next conference in 2012 and expects equally strong interest of companies and investors.
