On November 20th, 2025, the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) celebrated 30 years since its reopening, organizing a series of anniversary events along with various representatives of the Romanian capital market. Three decades ago, the first transactions took place on the BVB, and the Romanian investment landscape as we know it today began to take shape.
On the occasion of its anniversary, investors, brokers, issuers, authorities, journalists, organizations operating on the capital market, and the BVB team gathered between November 17th and 20th to mark this festive moment with speeches and panels rich in relevant information about the BVB's journey over the past 3 decades, as well as about the present and future of the Stock Exchange. We would like to thank all participants who joined us for the anniversary events, either as speakers, guests in the hall, or as a virtual audience. We celebrated together an important milestone in the evolution of the Stock Exchange and reiterated the significant role played by the vision and dedication of the professionals who make up the local capital market community.
”The Bucharest Stock Exchange reflects today the maturity of investors, of the listed companies, and of all professionals involved. Over the past 30 years, the Romanian capital market has evolved significantly – the number of listed companies has grown to over 330, the total market capitalization is now approaching RON 500 billion, the financial instruments have diversified, and the number of investors is increasing from one quarter to the next, currently exceeding 274,000 investment accounts on the BVB. I strongly believe that the coming decades will bring an even stronger development of the capital market, which will consolidate its position and attractiveness internationally and will give us even more confidence in the potential of the Romanian economy," said Remus Vulpescu, CEO of the BVB.
