Healthy economic growth reflects well on firms floated on buoyant bourse

Furthermore, accumulated revenues of firms floated on the WSE rose by over 14% to reach zł.32.62 billion. Such results were possible mainly due to the pace of economic development, which reached growth levels of 6% during the first quarter of the year. Market analysts emphasized though that it was mainly the WSE's Goliaths that benefited the most, with total revenues of companies listed on the WIG20 exceeding zł.2.2 billion, up 205% on Q1 2003.
