Significant changes to take place in the WSE indices

GPW Benchmark announced that it has ceased to develop the WIG-telecommunications index and that the WIG.GAMES index has been renamed WIG.GAMES5. December 17, 2021, will be the last day of publication of the WIG-telecommunications index and the WIG.GAMES index under the old name. December 20, 2021, will be the first day of publication of the latter index under the name WIG.GAMES5.

The discontinuation of the development of the WIG-telecommunications index is related to the change in the market reality, consisting of a gradual change in the profile of operations of companies operating in the traditional telecommunications industry and, consequently, the constantly decreasing number of companies – participants of this index.

The change of the name of the WIG.GAMES index to WIG.GAMES5 is related to the plans to introduce a new index in the gaming sector. The WIG.GAMES5 index will continue to measure the activity of the five most liquid companies participating in the WIG20, mWIG40, and sWIG80 indices.

Amendments to the Regulations of the Stock Indices Family have been approved by the Capital Market Indicators Supervisory Committee and are published on the website gpwbenchmark.pl.
