TGE and Pgnig Embark on Cooperation with a View to Developing a Biomethane Market in Poland
Warsaw, 12 January 2021 TGE and PGNiG embark on cooperation with a view to developing a biomethane market in Poland Press Release On 12 January Towarowa Giełda Energii (TGE) and Polish Oil and Gas Company (PGNiG) signed a cooperation agreement aimed at leveraging their mutual expertise and capabilities in creating a biomethane market in Poland. TGE and PGNiG intend to jointly prepare modern solutions supporting the creation and development of a biomethane market in Poland. The expertise of both PGNiG, as a key player on the gas market, and of TGE as a trading platform where the trading in gas and certificates promoting the use of RES are concentrated, should contribute to the transformation of the energy market leading not only to increased significance of green technologies but also the emerging market for alternative fuels, such as biomethane or hydrogen. ‘For over 20 years, TGE has been supporting all transformation processes on the energy market and actively contributing to its development by offering its participants comprehensive solutions and products. The cooperation with PGNiG in creating a biomethane market is an opportunity for the Exchange to further develop the RES segment. Certainly, our registers have a key role to play in this project’ said Piotr Zawistowski, President of the Management Board of TGE. ‘PGNiG has been an active member of the gas exchange market since its inception and continues to contribute to its development, as evidenced, among other things, by the record-high volume of natural gas trading on TGE in 2020. Now we are about to a new chapter of cooperation, which will allow us to create modern market solutions in the field of biomethane trading. -

Investment Property in the Financial Statements of Capital Groups Listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange
ISSN 2411-9571 (Print) European Journal of Economics Jan-Apr 2016 ISSN 2411-4073 (online) and Business Studies Vol.4 Nr. 1 Investment Property in the Financial Statements of Capital Groups Listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange Piotr Prewysz-Kwinto WSB University in Torun, Department of Finance and Accounting Poland, ppqq@poczta. onet. pl Grażyna Voss University of Technology and Life Sciences, Faculty of Management, Bydgoszcz, Poland, gvoss@wp. pl Abstract In recent years, investing in property has become very popular. It is related to a significant decrease in interest rates, which has resulted in a decrease in interest rates on bank deposits and risk-free securities. What is more, this kind of investment seems to be less risky than investing in shares or raw materials due to a steady increase in property prices in Poland in the recent years. Investment property owned by an entity conducting business activity must be properly presented in financial statements, which is next reflected in the evaluation of financial position. Recognition, measurement and presentation of investment property in financial statements have been comprehensively prescribed in International Accounting Standard 40 – Investment Property, which was released in December 2003. It was first applied to financial statements prepared for the reporting period starting after January 1, 2005. The standard was revised twice – first in 2008 and then in 2013. The aim of this paper is to describe the recognition, measurement and disclosure of investment property under polish and international accounting regulations as well as to analyze the presentation of such information in financial statements of the largest companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. -

Also, Grupa Azoty Polyolefins, the SPV formed to implement the project, which is of key importance to the entire chemical industry, has signed a credit facility agreement with a syndicate of domestic and foreign financial institutions. The total project budget is estimated at over EUR 1.5bn. The construction phase is scheduled for completion in 2022. ‘Today marks the end of many months of work to raise funding for Polimery Police, one of the largest industrial projects currently under way in Poland and wider Europe. The project is in progress, with Hyundai, our equity partner and general contractor, having entered the construction site earlier this year. Polimery Police is important to us and to the entire economy. It will help us to strategically diversify our revenue sources and Poland to turn from a net importer to a net exporter of polypropylene,’ said Wojciech Wardacki, President of the Grupa Azoty S.A. Management Board. The press conference held in Police to announce the signing of the agreements was attended by Polish President Andrzej Duda and Minister of State Assets Jacek Sasin. ‘A mechanism was created to implement a project worth PLN 7bn. It really is an incredibly huge and cost- intensive project. But what makes it so cost-intensive is that it is a world-class state-of-the-art facility,’ noted President Andrzej Duda. -
Is Capm an Efficient Model? Advanced Versus Emerging Markets
IS CAPM AN EFFICIENT MODEL? ADVANCED VERSUS EMERGING MARKETS Iulian IHNATOV *, Nicu SPRINCEAN** Abstract: CAPM is one of the financial models most widely used by the investors all over the world for analyzing the correlation between risk and return, being considered a milestone in financial literature. However, in recently years it has been criticized for the unrealistic assumptions it is based on and for the fact that the expected returns it forecasts are wrong. The aim of this paper is to test statistically CAPM for a set of shares listed on New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, Warsaw Stock Exchange and Bucharest Stock Exchange (developed markets vs. emerging markets) and to compare the expected returns resulted from CAPM with the actually returns. Thereby, we intend to verify whether the model is verified for Central and Eastern Europe capital market, mostly dominated by Poland, and whether the Polish and Romanian stock market index may faithfully be represented as market portfolios. Moreover, we intend to make a comparison between the results for Poland and Romania. After carrying out the analysis, the results confirm that the CAPM is statistically verified for all three capital markets, but it fails to correctly forecast the expected returns. This means that the investors can take wrong investments, bringing large loses to them. Keywords: CAPM; risk; portfolio return; capital market Introduction and literature review For a modern investor the investment decision is based on a detailed study of financial instruments, trying in this way to find the perfect combination between the risk and return in order to build an optimal and efficient portfolio. -

Equity Outlook
ECONOMIC & STRATEGY RESEARCH 10 April 2017 Equity Research Extract from a report Equity Outlook Global equity market gets the green light ■ The global stock market followed its successful final quarter of last year and Miroslav Frayer shares also grew in 1Q17. The MSCI world equity index has increased more than (420) 222 008 567 miroslav_ frayer @kb.cz 6% since the beginning of the year. Richard Miřátský ■ The PSE’s PX index has slightly surpassed the performance of major U.S. and (420) 222 008 560 [email protected] European indexes. It has added more than 6% since January. In comparison with Jana Steckerová regional competitors, the Polish WIG20 became a clear winner, jumping 15%. On the (420) 222 008 524 jana _steckerova @kb.cz contrary, the Hungarian BUX’s profit of less than 1.5% has not enthused investors. ■ A positive for the PSE is the fact that we have found no company whose shares remained in the red in the first quarter of the year. Shares of petrochemical group Unipetrol became a clear winner, on the contrary, the largest issuance, CEZ, added the smallest gains from the Prague peloton. ■ The average daily trading volume for the past two quarters was more volatile. Nevertheless, it is evident that Moneta Money Bank’s entry supported trading activity on the domestic market. For the first three months, the newcomer became the No. 1 among the most traded stocks on the Prague Stock Exchange. ■ SG increased the weight of equities in its global portfolio from 58% to 63%. Improving macroeconomic environment, reflation and the structural switch from monetary to fiscal policy impetus in developed countries are strong incentives for investors to switch out of expensive bonds into equities. -
