Vienna Sticks To its CEE Strategy

摘要

The Vienna Stock Exchange is expanding energetically in Central and Eastern Europe and sees this "historically associated region" as playing a big role in the exchange's future, despite the fears that some analysts express about the territory.rnMichael Buhl and Heinrich Schaller, joint CEOs of the exchange, point out that the further away investors are located from a region, the less they know about it. Less knowledge and more uncertainties lead to fear. "Being close to Central and Eastern Europe, we still see great long-term potential in the CEE area," Buhl says. The Exchange owns majority stakes in its Czech, Slovenian and Hungarian counterparts. It also has cooperation agreementsrnwith exchanges in eight other Central and East European (CEE) countries.
