We exceeded the most optimistic expectations in the first six months: 28 financial instruments were listed on the stock exchange, both in the shares and bonds segments. The success of these rounds of financing fuels future success, strengthens the position of the capital market as an essential pillar of financing, and encourages the presence of companies on the stock exchange, but also of investors. In essence, the first semester can be summarized as follows: more issuers, more areas of activity, more effervescence. Why is the capital market so successful? Because it is accessible, efficient, and liquid. It has become much more accessible due to the degree of digitization, it is efficient because it allows easy access to capital and is liquid because the seller or buyer easily finds a counterpart. In addition, the stock market is increasingly present in the public space and has become a mandatory landmark when it comes to serious development plans, “said Radu Hanga, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bucharest Stock Exchange.

“The stock market currently offers considerable sectoral diversification for investors who want to disperse their risks, and the investment opportunities are remarkable. From companies with a solid history to companies with accelerated growth potential, from fixed income instruments to stocks and structured products, the current market configuration allows the creation of portfolios with a high degree of customization that correspond to the risk profiles of investors. In terms of listings, we see accelerated growth in the stock segment in the first half of the year. The new wave of entrepreneurial companies, 12 only in the first 6 months, which came to the stock market attracted substantial interest from individual investors, who understand to take advantage of current opportunities and overwritten the allocated tranches, in some cases even less minute. The stock market has come closer to people and companies, and recent results show that we are developing the market in the right direction, ”said Adrian Tănase, General Manager of BVB.
