Romanian capital market

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since the Romanian Revolution of 1989, successive Romanian governments have tried to promote reform programs in all sectors: politics, economics, civil rights, local administration, etc., and these changes have been rapid. Among these measures has been the establishment of the modern Romanian capital market. Development of a Romanian capital market was founded on the privatisation program, in which shares in more than 5,000 companies, property of the Romanian State, were granted for free to the population.

The Romanian capital market has two main components: the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BSE) and the RASDAQ market (in the process of being licensed as an Alternative Trading System). Currently, there are around 60 companies listed on BSE and around 2,500 on RASDAQ. Romania also has a derivatives exchange - The Sibiu Monetary Financial and Commodities Exchange (BMFMS). The Romanian market is regulated by the National Securities Commission.
