Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) is pleased to announce that one of the largest investment managers from Poland started investing in the Romanian financial assets. The new investment funds of Pioneer Pekao TFI SA have also completed a direct fiscal registration with the Romanian authorities.

'We are proud and satisfied that one of the ‎largest institutional investors from Poland is now investing in Romania. The country is becoming increasingly attractive to regional and global players. All our efforts undertaken in the past have been noticed by the foreign community, and will be followed even closer now when Romania is included on the FTSE Russell Watchlist for a potential upgrade to the Emerging Markets', said Ludwik Sobolewski, CEO of the Bucharest Stock Exchange.

In May 2016 Berenberg announced that the dividend yields of companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange have been the highest in the world among market venues. The respective figures of the dividend yields in 2016 are: 7.6%, on average, for the main index BET, 10.1% for energy companies, 7.1% for utilities sector and 8.6% for banks that are covered by the main index.

The tax on dividends, which was lowered to 5% starting 2016, and the highest GDP growth in EU has added to the attractiveness of the Romanian capital market.

Additionally, steps were taken in order to simplify the fiscal registration procedures and the updated English forms are now available on the website of the National Agency for Fiscal Administration (www.anaf.ro). Moreover, the local fiscal authorities will soon accept the electronic signature instruments issued in other EU Member States, based on the EU Regulation.

Further information related to investments in Romania are available in the Foreign Investors' Guide 2016 elaborated by the Ministry of Economy, Commerce and Relations with the Business Environment and the Guide for international investors drafted by the Bucharest Stock Exchange.
