Socha: Orlen might be listed in Warsaw and Budapest

However, while Socha believes that simultaneous listing of the country's largest firm on the domestic and Hungarian bourses would allow for a more objective assessment of the company's value and facilitate a merger with MOL, its Hungarian counterpart, many analysts remain skeptical. While Socha has declared that no decision will be taken regarding the merger of the two oil giants until further analysis have been submitted - the reason being that such a move would have serious economic and energy supply implications for the country - the general consensus among the Sejm's Treasury Committee is that the whole Orlen/MOL merger should be dropped.
