Bank Pekao, in collaboration with Bank of America, organized the Pekao & Bank of America Capital Markets Conference in London on 15–16 June. The event brings together representatives of international financial institutions and executives of Polish listed companies. This is the first joint project of this kind carried out by Pekao together with Bank of America.
On the Pekao Group’s side, the event is organized by Pekao Brokerage House. The meeting is attended by more than 20 Polish companies and approximately 60 foreign investors, making it one of the largest gatherings between the Polish capital market and global investors.
“After several years, Bank Pekao is returning to international markets. In our view, the Polish economy, the Warsaw Stock Exchange and its listed companies are currently at a very interesting point, and we want to showcase their attractiveness to international institutional investors,” said Marcin Wlazło, Head of Pekao Brokerage House.
Participants include members of Bank Pekao’s Management Board as well as experts from the bank and the Pekao Group, including representatives of Pekao Brokerage House and Pekao Investment Banking.
“The Polish economy and capital market are entering a new phase of development that is attracting the attention of global investors. The joint conference with Bank of America is an important step in building bridges between Poland and international capital and in strengthening Bank Pekao’s position as a key partner for institutional investors,” said Cezary Stypułkowski, the CEO of Bank Pekao S.A.
The event programme includes a two-day series of group meetings and individual one-on-one sessions between investors and company representatives. The conference’s joint sessions cover topics such as the potential of the Polish economy as one of the leading European markets, the growing role of the capital market, and the further growth trajectory of the Polish equity market. Presentations by experts from Pekao and Bank of America are further enriched by contributions from representatives of key institutions supporting the development of the Polish economy, including Marta Postuła, First Vice‑President of Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, and Marcin Rulnicki, member of the board of the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
