The gap between the two stood at 3 billion ROL. The securities firm owned by Raiffeisen Bank brokered transactions worth 207 billion ROL, while Broker arranged transactions standing at 204 billion ROL. In fact, the two brokers have shared the first two positions on the Bucharest Stock Exchange over the last three months.
Raiffeisen managed to surpass SSIF Broker last month due to the fact that it arranged transactions in bonds worth 62 billion ROL. Raiffeisen Capital & Investment last month accounted for 80.5% of the bond trading market, followed by ING Securities, with transactions amounting to 7.5 billion ROL and a market share of 9.7%.
SSIF Broker, headquartered in Cluj-Napoca, will be the first securities firm whose stock is listed on the Stock Exchange.
