Interactive Brokers Adds Access to Bucharest Stock Exchange | LeapRate
Interactive Brokers announced Thursday that it has added access to the Bucharest Stock Exchange, allowing eligible clients to trade Romanian equities alongside products from more than 170 global markets.
The automated global broker said the expansion offers access to what was one of Europe’s strongest-performing emerging markets of 2025.
Romania was elevated to MSCI’s Advanced Frontier Market status while the country’s BET index reached record highs in 2025 and continued to grow through the first half of 2026.
“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,” stated Milan Galik, chief executive 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.”
Bucharest Stock Exchange Chief Executive Remus Vulpescu welcomed the broker to Romania’s capital market, saying every new gateway matters.
He added that the market had channelled more than €5 billion into the Romanian economy over the past 12 months and delivered a total return of more than 80%, which he described as the highest among EU main market indices.
