Interactive Brokers (Nasdaq: IBKR), an automated global broker, today announced access to the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB). This expansion offers access to one of Europe’s strongest-performing emerging markets of 2025, expanding diversification opportunities for IBKR clients alongside over 170 other global exchanges on a single, advanced platform.
Romania was elevated to MSCI’s Advanced Frontier Market status while the BET index reached record highs in 2025 and continued its growth through the first half of 2026. With this integration, IBKR clients can access Romanian equities through the same platform they use for markets worldwide, making it easier to incorporate Romanian listed companies into their global investment strategies.
“Adding the Bucharest Stock Exchange expands the choices available to our clients and reinforces our commitment to providing the broadest possible access to global markets,” said Milan Galik, Chief Executive Officer of Interactive Brokers. “Romania is one of Europe’s stronger emerging economies, and we’re pleased to make this market available to our clients through the same platform they use to access exchanges around the world.”
Remus Vulpescu, Chief Executive Officer of the Bucharest Stock Exchange added: “We welcome Interactive Brokers to Romania’s capital market. Every new gateway matters: over the last 12 months, our market has built on the strong momentum of recent years, channeling more than EUR 5.0 billion into the Romanian economy, further broadening its listed universe and investor base, and delivering a total return of more than 80%, the highest among EU main market indices. Connecting millions of global investors to Bucharest Stock Exchange deepens liquidity, sharpens pricing, and brings Romanian listed companies the international visibility they have earned.”
Key Highlights:
- Unparalleled Market Access: Trade Romanian equities alongside over 170 global markets on one integrated platform.
- Seamless Integration: Leverage existing IBKR accounts, platforms (mobile, web, desktop), and support for Romanian investments.
