Gross capital inflows to the Bucharest Stock Exchange rose to RON2.71 billion in 2013, from RON2.04 billion a year earlier, ASF data showed. Gross outflows reached RON1.89 billion, versus RON1.59 billion in 2012.
British investors were top foreign buyers and sellers on the Romanian stock market last year, followed by investors from Austria and the USA. (EUR1=RON4.3845)
