Small banks to be delisted from stock exchange because of small turnover
Small banks to be delisted from stock exchange because of small turnover
Small banks that have already acquired strategic investors will be
delisted from the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) as soon as possible because
of their low share volume. However, before they are withdrawn, the small
banks, among them Fortis Bank Polska, Bank Komunalny (BK) and Bank
Wspolpracy Regionalnej (BWR) will change their profile and start operating
on a bigger, national scale. Specialists say the role of the bourse, that
is attracting potential investors to those small firms, has been fulfilled
and their presence on the floor is now a bogus attempt supported by the
Securities and Stock Exchange Commission (KPWiG) to inflate the number of
firms listed on the WSE. (Puls Biznesu, page 7)
