Investing in Poland ADRs / Polish Stocks List

Despite the fact that the Warsaw Stock Exchange would be one of the most important stock exchanges in Central and Eastern Europe, there are no Poland ADRs trading on major US stock exchanges like the NYSE or the NASDAQ. Nevertheless, there is a good and diversified selection of Poland ADRs representing different sectors of the Polish economy that trade on the OTC market. In addition, investors interested in Poland ADRs should check out our Poland ETF list and our complete list of Eastern Europe closed-end funds, noting that the NYSE listed Central Europe Russia and Turkey Fund, Inc (NYSE: CEE) has close to 1/5th of its portfolio allocated to Polish stocks, while our Eastern Europe ETF Region Wide list may also include ETFs invested in Poland stocks.

Note: If there are any ADRs to add or remove from this list or there are bad links, please write a note in the comments section so it can be fixed. Likewise, adding any other comments or advice would also be appreciated.

The Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE)

The first state-organized stock exchange in Poland was the Warsaw Mercantile Exchange organized in 1817 followed by the Warsaw Commodities Exchange founded in 1874. The Warsaw Mercantile Exchange was closed during World War I and re-opened after the war as the Warsaw Money Exchange which lasted until World War II. In 1991, the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) was opened with only five stocks listed, 112 buy and sell orders, and a turnover of only 1,990 złotys ($2,000). Today, the Warsaw Stock Exchange is the largest national financial instruments exchange in Central and Eastern Europe and one of the fastest-growing exchanges in Europe.
