Since September 2019, Shenzhen Stock Exchange and Budapest Stock Exchange have maintained a bilateral partnership to promote cross-border investment and enhance mutual understanding of each other’s markets and growth potential. By deepening cooperation in index-based investment, the two exchanges jointly aim to channel long-term capital into high-quality assets and advance the sustainable, high-quality development of the Chinese and Hungarian capital markets.
The BUX index is the official index of blue-chip shares listed on the Budapest Stock Exchange Ltd. It is calculated in real time based on the actual market prices of a basket of shares. The index shows the average price changing of the shares with the biggest market value and turnover in the equity section. Hereby this is the most important index number of the exchange trends.
The CETOP index (Central European Blue Chip Index) reflects the performance of the companies with the biggest market value and turnover in the Central European region. The aim of the CETOP index is to serve as a benchmark for the portfolio managers who invest in the region.
