At long last...WSiP privatization proves to be a hit

This means that investors who sold their shares at the opening of the trading session earned 21.1%. Turnover exceeded zł.110 million with 5.23 million shares, which means that 16.7% of the company's capital changed hands. The profits made on the shares was even larger if the price discounts which were offered to individual investors are taken account. WSiP was the first company after a several year long break that the State Treasury decided to privatize through a floatation of shares on the WSE. "The huge interest in the publisher's shares is an obvious signal for us that investors are interested in shares owned by the State Treasury. We should take advantage of this potential," said Deputy Treasury Minister Dariusz Witkowski. (Parkiet, p. 1) A.K.
