WSE president unveils his strategy for the bourse

He stated that the stock exchange will concentrate on attracting new companies and not on integration with its regional competitors. "The resources of the bourse must be built on the whole economy. Privatization is in its final stage. There are not many companies which are attractive for investors and may be privatized. This source is slowly drying out," stated Sobolewski. He declared that the bourse will try to attract debuts from abroad. "Ukraine is an excellent place for exploration. It is a shame that Ukrainian companies are listed in London and none of them in Warsaw," said Sobolewski. He also hopes for closer cooperation with brokers. Sobolewski declared that by 2010 he wants to increase the relation of market value of Polish listed companies to GNP the present 32% to 50%. (Puls Biznesu, p. 9) E.B.
