Creditanstalt Stock Exchange debut imminent

"The debut of the Austrian Bank Austria Creditanstalt (BA CA) on the Warsaw stock exchange is one of our top priorities and if necessary we will do everything in our power to make this debut possible," said Jacek Socha, the head of the Securities and Stock Exchange Commission (KPWiG). Yesterday, the KPWiG was supposed to obtain a request from the Austrian bank to float its shares on the stock exchange. At present, the request is in English, but within a few days the KPWiG will receive the Polish translation. "The debut of BA CA is a very important event, and the decision on listing the company will be given at the KPWiG session on June 24, or June 26 at the latest," stated Socha. (Puls Biznesu, p. 4) A.C.
