The stock exchange hosted several major trading events in the first half of 2014, including the initial offering of 51% in state-run energy company Electrica (EL.RO).

Electrica IPO, the largest in the stock exchange’s history, amounted to RON1.56 billion, while the private placement of Romgaz (SNG.RO) and the takeover bid for Biofarm (BIO.RO) were other important transactions,” the report showed.
Overall, the public offer segment added RON2.87 billion to the exchange’s total trading value for the second quarter, of RON7.65 million.
