Starting today, the Vienna Stock Exchange and the stock exchanges of Budapest, Ljubljana and Prague belong to the family brand “CEE Stock Exchange Group”. The CEE Stock Exchange Group launches two joint indices: The CEETX – CEESEG Traded Index and the CEESEG Composite.
The CEETX is a capitalization-weighted price index, which is made up of the 25 most actively traded and highest capitalized stocks of the member of the CEE Stock Exchange Group. The index will be calculated and disseminated in real-time in EUR and USD. CEETX is designed as a tradable index. Due to the excellent liquidity of the constituents, the index can be used as underlying for structured products and for standardized derivatives (futures & options).
The CEESEG Composite Index is a capitalization-weighted price index, which is composed of the constituents of the leading share indices of the member of the CEE Stock Exchange Group. Thus, the index comprises the stocks included in the ATX, BUX, PX and SBITOP. The index will be calculated and disseminated in real-time in EUR and USD. The CEESEG Composite Index serves as a representative benchmark for investors and represents the development of the capital markets of the whole group.
As a result of their many years of experience all four Stock Exchanges have gained a strong international standing as global experts in the field of index calculation. Due to the growing demand for financial instruments related to CEE indices, the CEE Stock Exchange Group has joined the forces of all the partners and their respective markets and is now selling worldwide index licences from one source. The Group offers top-level expertise in the fields of index know-how and innovation for the CEE market. Together, the four Exchanges calculate 52 indices (covering the region of CEE, CIS and also China).
With a market capitalisation of EUR128bn the CEE Stock Exchange Group accounts for half of the total market capitalization and with a joint average monthly turnover of 11bn Euro for around two-thirds of equity turnover in the CEE region (July 2009). From one single source, the Group offers both information and easy access to four attractive markets with long-term growth potential. Further information is available on the website
