The Bucharest Stock Exchange has revisited and reshaped the composition of its indices.                                                                                                                        

The BVB Board of Governors approved a new set of rules for the BET and BET-TR indices, so that the two indices better reflect the performance of the most liquid companies listed on the regulated market. The BET and BET-TR indices will have a variable number of constituents, as opposed to the current fixed structure. The minimum number of companies will be 10 and the maximum 15.

In addition to that, a watchlist (list of eligible companies) will be introduced for companies to be monitored before their inclusion in BET and BET-TR indices. The list will be decided at periodic meetings taking place in March and September of each year. The companies will have to remain on the list for at least 6 months prior to the final decision regarding their inclusion in the index.
