The listing of companies on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) represents an extremely important factor for the consolidation and development of the local capital market, but also for the stability of the Romanian economy, according to a press release from the Financial Supervisory Authority (ASF).ASF reminds, in the context, that it is running an extensive process of modernization of the regulatory framework, which will lead to the consolidation of the role of the capital market at the level of the national economy, and places special emphasis on the implementation of the provisions included in the National Strategy regarding the development of the capital market in Romania for the period 2023-2026."The success of Hidroelectrica's listing constitutes a firm impetus for the entry of new players into the stock market, the capital market needing, in order to develop healthily, strong and fair competition," said Alexandru Petrescu, the president of the ASF, in the quoted press release.Hidroelectrica recently marked one year since its listing on the BVB, the largest initial public offering (IPO) in the history of the local stock exchange, an approach that significantly contributed to increasing confidence in the potential of the capital market. The admission to the stock market of the energy producer attracted investors, retail and international, from all corners of the world and strengthened the BVB's position as an important player in the region.According to the cited source, Hidroelectrica's presence at the BSE encouraged other Romanian companies to consider listing, increasing the liquidity and diversity of the capital market. The successful listing of the energy producer is a strong argument for continuing to support single listings, ASF representatives believe."The listings are also important from the perspective of attracting investors to Romania and show that the Romanian market can lead to success stories in financing. The listing on the Romanian market brings greater exposure of Romanian companies and from the perspective of the image," stated Gabriela Horga, deputy chair of ASF, coordinator of the Financial Instruments and Investments Sector.One of the concrete steps taken by the Authority to improve the conditions for listing on the capital market or for attracting capital was the introduction of provisions related to the reduction of the term for exercising the right of preference or the process of registering an increase, in the draft amendment to the Law 24/2017 regarding the issuance of financial instruments and market operations, approved by the ASF Council and sent to the Ministry of Finance.
