On the pulse of the markets with the CEE indices
As early as 1996 when the Eastern Europe story was still fresh, the experts of the Vienna Stock
Exchange started computing the first index for the Central and East European region. The CECE
Index, tracking the equities of the Czech Traded Index (CTX®), Hungarian Traded Index (HTX®) and
Polish Traded Index (PTX®), contributed greatly to the establishment of the Vienna Stock Exchange’s
reputation as an index expert throughout the world; the VSE is now an affiliated company of the CEE
Stock Exchange Group.
Today, the Vienna Stock Exchange – member of the CEE Stock Exchange Group together with the
stock exchanges of Budapest, Ljubljana and Prague – publishes 60 indices which are highly popular
among international investors because of their quality, state of the art calculation methodology
and preciseness. The CECE Index, but also the RDX, the Russian Depository Index, are regularly used
as benchmarks for their respective markets. The uniform calculation of the indices published is a
further feature appreciated by investors. Trading in the indices also has a positive effect on the
liquidity of the equities, and therefore, on the attractiveness of the stock market.
