VIENNA WATCH CENTRAL & EASTERN EUROPE

The Wien Stock Exchange (http://en.wienerborse.at/) computes and publishes in a real-time various national capitalization weighted price indices consisting of the best-selling national shares of seven emerging Central and Eastern European countries including: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Serbia. As commercial indices, they are used as a base values to be consulted for creation of futures, options and other structured products. The indices are computed and published in Euros (EUR), US Dollars (USD) and in local currencies (http://en.indices.cc/indices/cee/).

The Country Indices are:
BTX - Bulgarian Traded Index (EUR, USD, BGN),
CROX - Croatian Traded Index (EUR, USD, HRK),
CTX - Czech Republic Traded Index (EUR, USD, CZK),
HTX - Hungarian Traded Index (EUR, USD, HUF),
PTX - Polish Traded Index (EUR, USD, PLN),
ROTX - Romanian Traded Index (EUR, USD, RON),

Also, the Wien Stock Exchange computes and publish five regional indices (CECE, SETX, CECExt, CECE MID, NTX) and five sector indices ( CECE BNK - banking, CECE OIL - oil & gas, CECE HCA - health care, CECE TEL - telecom, CECE INF - infrastructures and CERX - real estate) in which are included companies from the named seven countries and from Austria and Slovenia.

This Wien Stock Exchange interest for emerging Central and Eastern European countries is very easy to understand taking in account that Austrian economy has extremely strong and important relations with Central and Eastern European economies. Austrian investment capital is a very important player on all East European stock exchanges while Austrian companies are omnipresent from the Baltic Republics up North to Bulgaria on the South. The most extended Austrian companies are OMV, Telekom Austria, Raiffeisen Bank, VoestAlpine, Erste Group Bank, Vienna Insurance and Hypo-Alpe-Adria. The global economy crisis is strongly punishing the emerging economies of the region and there is strong preoccupation that the impact over already affected Austrian economy could be very strong, even brutal.
