In January through September 2010, the market operator reported net profit of RON6.1 million.

“The results for the first nine months of 2011 were boosted by increased trade value in most of the market segments following the listing of Fondul Proprietatea and growing interest from investors in structured products and futures contracts,” the stock exchange said in a statement.

Fondul Proprietatea was floated on January 25.

“Once listed, the fund’s stock increased the total trading value. In the first nine month, overall trades reached RON8.76 billion, 70% higher compared with 2010,” the market operator said.

It said operating profit rose to RON6.7 million in the first nine months, from RON2.1 million in the same period of 2010.

The bourse’s turnover was RON16.9 million, up 54% on the year.

The results are non-consolidated, unaudited and computed under local accounting standards.

The stock exchange listed its shares on its own trade platform in June last year.

At 10:30 Thursday morning, the bourse’s shares traded up 0.37% at RON27.1, amid a declining market. (EUR1=RON4.3534)
