Bucharest Stock Exchange goes after US investors

The Romanian capital market needs US institutional investors to upgrade to emerging market status, according to Ludwik Sobolewski, Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) CEO. The BVB, investment fund Fondul Proprietatea, and brokerage firms Swiss Capital and Auerbach Grayson presented to US-based investors the investment opportunities in Romania, during the second Romania Investors Days event in New York, at the beginning of this week. The event attracted over 50 participants from investment funds representing over USD 1 trillion in assets under management and included one-on-one meetings between investors and the top management of Romanian companies. “In its goal of upgrading to Emerging Market status, the Romanian capital market also needs US institutional investors and their global network for liquidity and development. If they invest now, they will be the first ones who will benefit of the market growth, as we dare to make a SEE financial hub from the Bucharest Stock Exchange”, said Ludwik Sobolewski, BVB CEO. editor@romania-insider.com
