Strategy
The Vienna Stock Exchange focuses on two strategic goals:
-
Strenghtening the home market
As the driving force behind a transparent Austrian capital market the Vienna Stock Exchange contributes substantially to its further development. Its efforts focus on constant work to ensure framework conditions supportive of the capital market as well as the admission and development of new products. Furthermore, it takes numerous measures to further improve investment culture in Austria and to internationally position a strong domestic capital market among foreign trading members and international investors.
The Vienna Stock Exchange contributes to the steady growth of supply of, and demand for, capital through its ongoing information and communications work on the national and international level, e.g. by acquiring new issuers, private and institutional investors, trading participants as well as data and index license customers. -
Focus on Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)
The Vienna Stock Exchange is the initiator and, just like the exchanges of Budapest, Ljubljana and Prague, a subsidiary of the CEE Stock Exchange Group (CEESEG), the largest exchange group in Central and Eastern Europe. The primary objective of the Group is to strengthen, advance and internationally position the regional capital markets of its member exchanges. The Vienna Stock Exchange is responsible for cross-border tasks and the coordination of international projects, and acts as the driver of further development.
The Vienna Stock Exchange also collaborates with many exchanges – mainly in the CEE region – in the areas of index development, data vending and many other capital market projects.
