CEE stock exchanges and EBRD sign agreement on development of regional markets
Seven Central European stock exchanges and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) signed a cooperation memorandum in Bratislava to strengthen regional capital markets, crucial for economic growth and innovation, according to the Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW). The initiative aims to enhance cross-border processes, making the region more attractive for both local and global investors.
The memorandum focuses on developing primary markets to improve capital access for companies, particularly SMEs, and fostering operational integration of market infrastructure. Enhanced cooperation is expected to address shared challenges, boost competitiveness, and create a more unified environment for investors.
The EBRD pledged full support, emphasizing that these efforts could position Central Europe as a hub for capital investment and innovation financing.
