Remus Vulpescu, Chief Executive Officer of the Bucharest Stock Exchange added: “We welcome Interactive Brokers to Romania’s capital market. Every new gateway matters: over the last 12 months, our market has built on the strong momentum of recent years, channeling more than EUR 5.0 billion into the Romanian economy, further broadening its listed universe and investor base, and delivering a total return of more than 80%, the highest among EU main market indices. Connecting millions of global investors to Bucharest Stock Exchange deepens liquidity, sharpens pricing, and brings Romanian listed companies the international visibility they have earned.”
