All the new stocks will be listed in Polish zloty, making investing in international giants more accessible for Polish investors.

Starting on 3 December 2024, investors using the Warsaw Stock Exchange’s GlobalConnect market will have access to six new foreign stocks: Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), Coca Cola Co., Intel Corp., McDonald’s Corp., Nike Inc., and InPost. The decision to list them was made at the request of the Introducing Market Maker Santander Biuro Maklerskie. Importantly, the stocks will be listed in Polish zloty.

The newly introduced stocks represent key sectors of the global economy and are listed on leading exchanges such as Euronext in Amsterdam, NYSE and Nasdaq in New York. The US issuers participate in the prestigious S&P 500 index considered one of the most important global financial market indices. 

“The expansion of the group of stocks listed on GlobalConnect addresses the expectations of investors who want to invest in global brands on the Polish market. The addition of recognisable companies makes our offering more attractive and allows investors to diversify their portfolios. In the future, we plan to add more foreign stock to the offer in order to even better meet the needs of investors and strengthen the position of GPW as a modern market,” said Michał Kobza, GPW Management Board Member for Development and Sales.

The dynamic growth of GlobalConnect is corroborated by its record-breaking performance. Turnover reached PLN 8.4 million in November 2024, a year-on-year increase of 1,506%. The total value of transactions amounted to PLN 27.8 million between January and November 2024, increasing by 472% compared to the same period of the previous year. These figures demonstrate the growing importance of GlobalConnect as an important element of GPW’s offering, enabling investors to access global stocks on the Polish market.

With the addition of the new stocks, the GlobalConnect offering will include 31 issuers listed on the stock exchanges in the US, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, and Portugal.
