In the second part of this exclusive interview series, Marek Dietl, the chief executive of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, talks about efforts to enhance co-operation among the Visegrad Group countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary) and Croatia, Romania Slovenia and Bulgaria.

Dietl said: “Many of the companies that are coming to us now looking to IPO, have been working with venture capital investors for years and have the proper reporting systems in place; therefore, they are in a better place than firms coming to market at the start of the century."

He added: “I think good times are coming for IPOs on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, not because of the changing sentiment, but the systematic building up of companies and the fact that more venture capital funds want to exit via the stock exchange.”
