The FINANCIAL — Shares of Banco Santander have been newly listed on Warsaw Stock Exchange today. The issuer is the 470th company listed on the Main Market and the 27th new listing on the market in 2014. Banco Santander is the first company from Spain to be listed on the Main Market and the 51st foreign company on the WSE Main Market (61 foreign companies are listed on both markets including NewConnect).
“We are glad that such a prominent company joins our issuers. I am certain that this is yet another step on the way to the internationalisation of the Exchange and the development here in Warsaw of a capital market of first choice for investors and issuers in Central and Eastern Europe,” said Paweł Tamborski, President of the Management Board of WSE.
Today’s new listing on the WSE Main Market fulfils the commitment that Banco Santander made to the Polish Financial Supervision Authority in 2012 in anticipation of the merger of Bank Zachodni WBK (Banco Santander holds 69.41 percent of BZ WBK) and Kredyt Bank.
Banco Santander is the biggest bank in the eurozone and the tenth biggest bank world-wide by capitalisation (as at the end of June 2014). It is listed on the stock exchanges in Spain, Milan, Lisbon, London, New York, Buenos Aires, Sao Paolo and Mexico.
