President of the Board
Bucharest Stock Exchange has launched the first Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)-focused initiative on the Romanian capital market, which aims to provide high-level ESG insights for BVB-listed companies.
Utilizing Sustainalytics’ flagship ESG Risk Ratings, BVB’s goal is to make available top-line ESG research and ratings for the majority of companies listed on its Exchange, to promote responsible investing and highlight the importance of ESG standards among Romanian market participants. The initiative also aims to encourage local companies to align their business strategies with ESG practices, which have witnessed a spectacular growth globally in recent years.
Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) celebrated 25 years since its reopening: on November 20th, 1995, the first trades were made at BVB. From 9 companies listed at the end of 1995, over 350 companies are now present on the BVB markets, with a cumulative capitalization of RON 104bn (over EUR 21bn).
Radu Hanga, BVB Chairman of the Board said: "This anniversary is of the entire capital market and would not have been possible without the work and enthusiasm, the desire to take risks and the collaboration of colleagues from BVB and all our partners, investors, brokers, authorities, business and politics. At the same time with the celebration of the 25th anniversary, we are committed to continue to be a catalyst for the capital market and to provide investors and issuers with the most viable solutions to meet the changing demands of the economy".
Adrian Tanase, BVB CEO said: "By using our strong portfolio of innovative approaches and together with the entire capital market community we will emphasize the steps regarding the future of the Romanian digital stock exchange.We are aware that the new generation of investors wants products that are quickly accessible digitally, but also products that allow more sophisticated strategies. That is why the Central Counterpart is the fundamental element that will allow us to respond effectively to these needs."
