The Vienna Stock Exchange has now taken the next step to enlarge its product range for domestic investors and bring the world to Austria.

This is how we want to bring the world to Austria and save investors the expensive foreign fees they usually pay for international stock trading," said Christoph Boschan, CEO of the Vienna Stock Exchange. "We are working on opening the door to the world of international stock trading for Austrian investors and hope to soon be able to offer an even larger range and new investment opportunities."
