The objective of the BSE is to become the most important platform for competitive and successful enterprises in Hungary. The task of identifying and selecting enterprises that are ready for the stock exchange, and preparing them for the launch process, is one of crucial importance, and there is therefore a need to expand and broaden the consultancy services offered to issuers, and to develop an effective method of screening (scoring). One way of doing this is to set up a stock exchange “antechamber”, which operates with the active collaboration of specially contracted top market players – IPO Partners –, who help to bring together companies that are interested in raising capital market funds; the new companies are then evaluated and selected in order to prepare them for launching on the regulated or the SME market. Implementation of the strategy will benefit from the fact that the BSE is, since December 2015, once again under national Hungarian ownership, and thus enjoys the support of the Hungarian National Bank (HNB), an owner that is committed to developing the capital market. This in turn reinforces the commitment of economic players towards the BSE, as it conveys a positive image of the future of the capital market and increases general confidence in the Hungarian stock exchange. To meet the special needs of SMEs, it will be necessary to establish a new SME market to support the presence of large numbers of SMEs on the capital market, and to help them obtain funding. The SME market will include the following: A multilateral trading facility (MTF) for companies which are ready to operate in the public sphere but which are not at a stage of development that allows them to meet the requirements for launch on the regulated market. A private placement platform (PPP) for enterprises which are not yet ready to operate in the public sphere but which are looking for capital investors to enter into private transactions, and which may later transfer to the public markets. A crowdfunding platform – to be launched at a later stage of the strategy timescale – operating under a separate brand name from the other markets of the BSE, whose objective is to finance start-up businesses with the involvement of large numbers of investors, each investing lower sums of capital. © Capital Lounge GmbH BSE – Budapest Stock Exchange | Market Survey 04 EQUITY SEGMENTS AND COSTS PRIME STANDARD T The equities may be listed in three different markets – there is no MTF, yet: MARKET MARKET MARKET Market capitalisation min. 5 billion forints no requirements no requirements Prime Market To be listed on the Prime Market, the instrument must meet several criteria min. 25 percent or regarding market capitalisation, ownership structure (free-float) and corporate Free float min. 500 owners or no requirements no requirements history.
