CEZ's injects new energy into the WSE

Although the number of shares registered in the Polish deposit was not significant, the turnover exceeded zl.230 million. As a result of CEZ's floatation, the capital of the WSE grew by 14%. "A company that size could have entered the London or Frankfurt bourse," said WSE president, Ludwik Sobolewski. The director of CEZ, Martin Roman, explained that Poland was selected as it will be the priority market of the company's investments in the coming years. "We have earmarked EUR 7 billion for expansion, including acquisition of foreign entities," declared Roman. The corporation, which already controls Elektrocieplownia Chorzów and Skawina is willing to further participate in the privatization of the energy sector. (Puls Biznesu, p. 9) A.K.
