SEE Link, a joint project of the stock exchanges in Zagreb, Sofia and Skopje, became operational at the end of March. Emerging Europe spoke to André Küüsvek, Director, Local Currency and Capital Markets Development at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, about the initiative. SEE Link is a cross border initiative integrating regional equities markets without merger or corporate integration, using only technology that will enable participating stock exchanges to remain independent yet complement and to allow investors an easier and more efficient approach to those markets through a local broker. The three national bourses will now become more visible on the map of capital markets in Central and Eastern Europe and the initiative seems attractive for others. The network will help integrate domestic stock markets with a combined equity market capitalisation of US$ 30 billion, allowing for order routing of almost 400 stocks listed on the three exchanges.
