Bucharest Stock Exchange has aimed for the status of Emerging market for almost ten years, while it was on a watch list.

Reclassification of the status will come into force in September next year.

84 companies are listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange on the main market, with a combined capitalization of 36 billion euros.
