Entitled Understanding the Polish Capital Market, the book was co-written by Marek Dietl, CEO of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, Polish state news agency PAP reported on Tuesday.

Dietl said: “It is often incomprehensible why Poland’s capital market accounts for more than a half of the overall turnover in the European Union’s 13 eastern member countries, or why it is twice as big as the Vienna market and eight times bigger than the Prague or Budapest market.”

He told the PAP news agency: “Our book is addressed especially to international investors who remember the interest attracted by Poland and our region in the early 1990s.”

Dietl added that “much has changed in the intervening 30 years.”

According to the book’s publishers, the British publishing house Routledge, Understanding the Polish Capital Market aims to provide academics and practitioners with an insight into the Polish capital market, "appealing especially to those interested in gaining a deeper understanding of emerging markets' successful transformation into developed ones.”

The book can also be used as "supplementary reading for doctoral and master’s students in finance, particularly relating to capital markets and economics – predominantly development economics and economic policy,” Routledge said.
