The mission of the GPW Group is to develop effective mechanisms of capital and commodity flows by providing exchange and clearing services which are competitive in terms of quality and price and address the needs and expectations of our clients: companies, investors, and brokers.
The main objective of the GPW.2020 strategy published and pursued by the GPW Group since October 2014 is to make GPW a stock exchange of first choice for investors and issuers in Central and Eastern Europe.
GPW operates on the assumption that it plays an important role in the economy: it provides growth capital to companies and local governments, thus supporting national growth by creating new jobs, fostering innovation, and raising the standards for public companies. Pursuant to its current strategy, GPW focuses on this role to address the needs of Polish companies and local governments with a full range of available instruments tailored for both large and small market players active in all sectors. This is based on state-of-the-art technology, in compliance with the highest standards, ensuring security of trade on the markets operated by the Group, including the appropriate liquidity of traded instruments, as well as a broad range of products and services.
The GPW Group pursues its strategy through comprehensive development and utilisation of available skills and resources. This is supported by efforts focused on further operational integration of the GPW Group including the consolidation of processes and procedures, the establishment of a shared services centre, and the optimisation of real estate.
In addition, the strategy GPW.2020 provides for improved cost efficiency. A savings programme has been put in place covering such cost lines as rent, IT services, and external service charges. Generated savings are consistently allocated to support investments and the areas with the greatest potential of growth, enabling GPW to better align with the demanding environment. The Exchange is monitoring the environment on an on-going basis and modifies its strategy depending on changes in the environment.
According to the GPW.2020 strategy, the growth of the GPW Group will rely on six pillars:
- a liquid equity market;
- a developed debt market;
- a competitive derivatives market;
- a commodity market attractive to investors;
- a comprehensive offer of information products for investors and issuers;
- new business segments opened based on existing competences of the Group.
