The fact that last year was extremely good for the exchange can be seen in its trading volumes, which according to Marek Dietl, the WSE’s CEO, were the highest in the decade since the bourse started recording them.
“In 2020, equity turnover value of the GPW’s main market electronic order book increased by 55.3 per cent year on year to 297 billion zloty (66 billion euros). From an investor’s perspective, it was a great year,” he says.
