It is a natural step for a company of Hidroelectrica’s calibre, a new stage that we have been anticipating and expecting for a long time. We are convinced that listing will lead to strengthening the company’s position and further transparency and it will also seriously contribute to increasing the liquidity on BSE, with positive implications on national economy. I would like to point out that listing opens up new opportunities, including for Romanians who want to buy and hold shares in one of the most solid companies with majority state capital,” said Bogdan Badea, President of Hidroelectrica’s Management Board.
