Finance Minister András Kármán encouraged more households and businesses to take advantage of the investment and financing opportunities offered by the Budapest Stock Exchange (BSE) at the ceremonial ringing of the opening bell on Friday.
The minister noted that the bourse's main BUX index had broken records in recent weeks and was among the best performers in the world in the first half of the year.
Mihály Varga, the governor of the National Bank of Hungary (MNBH), the bourse's majority owner, said the BSE stood at "the global forefront" on the basis of all indicators, and it was the most important equities market in the region after Warsaw.
He noted that the shares of 154 companies were now listed on the bourse.
Tibor Tóth, the CEO of the BSE, said strengthening the local capital market improved the competitiveness of Hungarian companies, encouraged investments and contributed to long-term economic growth.
